Brandon Dixon: 2017 Champ

[Monty M]

Congratulations to Brandon Dixon and the No. 5 team on a well-deserved 2017 title run!

[John LaRue]

Brandon, Wren and the crew are certainly deserving of this Championship and more! Keep in mind that with the fabled Citation design in hand and collaboration with Lathrop, Brandon and the crew have literally built this car from the ground up. Also, he is a pretty wicked driver as well. You won't find better guys in the paddock - always willing to help out at a time of crisis!

Thanks for everything Brandon, Wren and crew - enjoy the spoils of victory!

John

[Steve Bamford]

Congratulations. Very well deserved. Some of the hardest & smartest working guys at the track.

[Tim Minor]

I could not agree with John more.
Congratulations on a well deserved Championship.
Brandon & Wren and all the guy's on the #5 Citation are all standup guy's.
I can't say enough good things about these guys,they are allways there to help.
Enjoy the ride.
Sincerely

I have never seen any team more dedicated to success than Brandon, Wren, and their other crew members. Brandon and Wren have driven all night and slept in the trailer more times than I can count. And When John LaRue says they built the car from the ground up, he's not exaggerating. They even machined their own wheels from billet.

No one, IMO, ever deserved a championship more!

[S Lathrop]

What more can I say. It is an honor to have Brandon and his team working on my designs. And Brandon has really helped advance the Citation brand.

It is my customers that have driven the development of the Citation design. Without everyone of them, the Citations would not have the success that has been achieved.

Congratulations to Brandon and his team on a well deserved championship. One of the best guys in the paddock and the F2000 community should be proud to have him as the Champion.

[Purple Frog]

Brandon had to slow his brain down to F2000 speeds after winning all those F1000/FB championships. LOL

One of the best. Dedication to development probably unmatched.

And a stand up member of the FSRAC; helping us all get better rules.

Class act.

Are you buying a Citation?

I'm not exactly sure how to respond to this sort of love fest The kind words are certainly appreciated though.

This has been an amazing season, with highs, lows, big successes, big mistakes, and a bunch of good luck.

I have a number of people to thank, as we do this as a team of friends:

• Wren Keith, my best friend/crew chief/partner in crime, I wouldn't want to do this without you around.
• Cole & Miles who have helped at most of the races this year.
• My wife Leslie for her support and putting up with this addiction.
• My father for bringing me to the Runoffs in 1971 (when I was 4) and starting a lifelong passion.
• Steve Lathrop for giving me the opportunity to learn to design and build racecars. Unquestionably, everything that I accomplish in racecar design is from standing on his shoulders. Steve is one of the most generous people that I know with his time, ideas, and lifetime of experience.

Thanks to the F2000 series for providing the best place to race. The combination of track time, single class racing, and a very high level of competition is what draws me to the series. A paddock full of friends makes it even more enjoyable.

I can't wait to try to do it again next year!

Kind of had a clue when this guy blew by me in a crossle at savanah 20 + years ago.
Congrats

I remember when Brandon and Wren wrenched all week (likely all month) like cramming for a college final exam to make a race at Road America a year, maybe two, ago. I think that was the first event they ran the car at and it's great to see them achieve what they said the set out to do. I hope they look back over that short period of time and are proud of the accomplishment. It's also great to see the passion and love they have for what they do.

Props to Brandon, Wren, and the Citation crew.
