Brian Brown provided a recovery update after breaking his left wrist and breaking his right hand at the Knoxville Nationals.
Back at the beginning of August during the Thursday night event of the Knoxville Nationals Brown made contact with J.J. Hickle’s right rear and his car was sent airborne and then into the outside wall. He then violently flipped four times before eventually coming to a stop back in the middle of the track on his roof.
Fighting for a transfer goes wrong.

Brown attempted to compete in the Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal in the beginning of September, but shared that he wouldn’t be able to get it done due to his injuries not allowing him to feel the wheel and felt it was best for not only his safety but his fellow competitors that he pack it up and go home despite setting quick time in qualifying.
He wrote on X, “We tried to give it a go tonight with a fractured left Scaphoid bone on my left wrist Unfortunately I couldn’t feel the wheel properly with a brace on it and felt like it was best for my safety and other competitors safety to scratch after qualifying. ”
He added, “I Need to give my wrist a few more weeks of healing so I can compete without a brace.”

Earlier this week, Brown shared an update that he was going to undergo surgery, “Last Thursday, I had my 8-week follow-up with my hand specialist to check on the healing progress of the scaphoid bone in my left wrist. Unfortunately, the bone is healing very slowly, and there’s still no sign of bridging. My doctor doesn’t want to delay things any further, so he’s recommended surgery to properly repair it. With that being said. I’m having the surgery today.”
Next he shared the details of the procedure, “He’ll be inserting a screw along with a bone graft to help the healing process and get everything fixed up the right way. He’s confident I’ll be back to 100%, with no restrictions, by January 1st. Thanks so much for all the continued support — it means a lot!”

Following his surgery, he shared, “Doctors said everything went well — they placed a titanium screw in my scaphoid and did a bone graft from another part of my arm. I’m feeling good and ready to start healing.”
“Rehab begins in 9 days, and I’m locked in on recovery,” he added. “Thanks for all the support — it means a lot. Onwards and upwards.”
