— Three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion Angelle Sampey is trading two wheels for four, as she recently earned her Top Alcohol Dragster license. Sampey is the first athlete to join former teammate Antron Brown’s new AB Motorsports Accelerate Program, an all-encompassing driver development program. The long-term goal is for Sampey to move up to Top Fuel as an AB Motorsports teammate to Brown. Brown, who made the transition from Pro Stock Motorcycle to Top Fuel in 2008, encouraged Sampey to consider the move to four wheels after the 2022 season. He was “thoroughly impressed” with Sampey’s first few passes in the nitro-injected dragster. Sampey is the first driver to join Brown’s new AB Motorsports Accelerate Program, which will provide an array of resources for racers looking to make the next step. The long-term goal for Sampey and AB Motorsports is to have Sampey work her way up to driving a Top Fuel dragster. Antron is the only person I’d do this with,” Sampey said.
