Remember the name Brent Crews.

Crews, who is just 15 years old, added to his already impressive list of Trans Am Series accomplishments by holding off a pair of series champions to win the 3-Dimensional Services Group Muscle Car Challenge TA2 race in Detroit on Saturday.

The win came in the first race of a weekend doubleheader on the nine-turn, 1.7-mile street course downtown as part of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix weekend. Crews became the first two-time winner in the Trans Am Series this season.

As for Saturday, was just another day at the office for series' newest phenom, who just 11 months ago became the youngest pole sitter and race winner in Trans Am history when he won from the pole at Road America.
