Career
edit
Brent was called by RAB Racing to drive their No. 09 Ford at the road course race at Road America in 2010. The team, which was running multiple drivers that year, had already signed Boris Said to drive those races for them, but he was unavailable for this race, because he opted to compete in the Cup Series road course race at Sonoma instead, which was on the same weekend as the Road America Nationwide race. In looking for a driver, Said and RAB owner Robby Benton chose Brent, a full-time ARCA Racing Series driver for Allgaier Motorsports, after his strong finishes in the road course races in that series at Palm Beach and New Jersey Motorsports Park earlier in the season.[1]
Personal life
editBrent lives in Shelby Township, Michigan and graduated from Eisenhower High School in 2005, according to his Facebook page. He then went on to attend Northwood University, graduating in 2009 with a degree in automotive marketing. According to his LinkedIn profile, he has worked as the Human Resources Coordinator at Central Transport (a company located in the Detroit metropolitan area) since January 2020, and before that, was the Vice President and the Internet Manager of the Orchard Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM dealership in Washington Township, Michigan (the town north of Shelby).
