One NASCAR <\/a>driver has called his appearance at Portland last weekend one of the ‘toughest’ and ‘worst’ days he has ever spent racing.
<\/p>\n \nWhilst the Cup and Truck Series were in action at Darlington Raceway kicking off their respective playoff campaigns<\/a>, it was road course action for the Xfinity Series at Portland Raceway.
<\/p>\n \nOne driver making a rare NASCAR appearance was Supercars champion Will Brown, racing for Kaulig Racing in the No. 11 Chevrolet<\/a>, having previously raced in the Cup Series on two occasions.
<\/p>\n \nUnfortunately for Brown, it proved to be another difficult NASCAR outing, classified as 35th after being forced to retire midway through the race due to a car issue relating to his rear track bar.
<\/p>\n \n\u201cIn quali and that I was saying it felt a bit weird, but in the warm-up laps to start the race I was saying, when I accelerated, it was pulling to the right and didn\u2019t feel right,\u201d Brown explained on his YouTube channel post-race<\/a>.
<\/p>\n \n\u201cI guess it was unfortunately happening for a while and just had no pace. A disappointing end, that\u2019s three runs in America and three DNFs, so not going very well there.\u201d

<\/p>\n Will Brown’s worst day racing<\/p>\n \nSpeaking in the description of his YouTube vlog from the event, Brown called his weekend in Portland one of the most challenging of his career.
<\/p>\n \n“Probably my toughest and worst day racing,” he explained. “Didn\u2019t start well in qualifying with a gearbox issue, so started the race from the back and the chassis mount was broken, which really finished our day.
<\/p>\n \n“I was struggling with the heat with a cool suit issue, and we were out of the car before the last stage. Thanks everyone for following along and I hope the vlogs gave you some BTS and a bit of an insight into our time!”
