“She promised she wouldn’t embarrass me and said she’d even wear her teeth,” Brown said. “I could see her; she was smiling and messing with me. My grandma and I are just alike.”

Grandma Lossie got a chance to watch her grandson realize a dream.

“You know I came here some 22 years ago and I saw the guys like Kenny Bernstein and the Snake, and I always had that dream that I could do that. You never are able to put that in perspective really. It just doesn’t seem real. How was I ever going to get a Top Fuel ride because my last name wasn’t Bernstein and it sure wasn’t Force. My dad and my uncle had a sportsman car and they still haven’t let me drive to this day. I was lucky that I went the motorcycle route.
