Career

edit
 
Brent's No. 09 Nationwide car for RAB Racing at Road America in 2010, his only start in the series.

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]
