"U.S. Army Racing is proud to offer proven winners like Angelle and Antron an opportunity to continue their careers with our team," said Lieutenant General Dennis D. Cavin, commanding general for the U.S. Army Accessions Command at Fort Monroe, Virginia, in a release on NHRA.com. "Our expansion into Pro Stock Bikes helps us better demonstrate how both racing and the U.S. Army rely on speed, power, technology, and teamwork."

Savoie, who currently holds second-place in the Pro Stock Bike standings, and Brown, who sits in fourth, join Schumacher Racing Top Fuel driver Tony Schumacher as part of the U.S. Army Racing team. Plans call for Savoie and Brown to join Schumacher as keynote speakers for the NHRA's Youth & Education Services program, which is presented by the U.S. Army. The program helps kids better understand career planning and the breadth of opportunities at the track, as well as how math and science play a role in drag racing. Savoie and Brown are also slated to make school visits with Schumacher.

"This is unbelievable," said Savoie, the most decorated female drag racer in history with 31 wins and 15 runner-up finishes in 97 career starts. "It's really a dream come true. We just about had to call it quits with no money left to race. Denver was going to be our stopping point. And, that would have been real heart-wrenching since Denver was where I started my career. Now, we can keep moving on. I'm so happy."

Brown, an 18-time finalist with 10 victories, agreed.

"It's really great to be a part of the U.S. Army and Schumacher Racing family," said Brown, who is related to Savoie by marriage. "We finally can go out and race the right way. Everything just came together at the right time for us and I'm extremely thankful for that. We couldn't have asked for a better partner than the U.S. Army."
