R & B MOTORSPORTS was formed in 1992 with Graham Brown as their driver and expanded the next year to include Dwight. The team has found a great deal of success at Mosport International Speedway winning four season championships ( two by Dwight and two by Graham ) and have great pride in showing up each week with the cars ready to race and quite capable of winning. The fact that the four championships have been won in three different classes shows the diversity of the team and the ability that they have to adapt to various styles of racing. The 1998 racing season will have them competing for the championship in Open Wheel Modified ( hopefully again a one two finish ) as well as a six race series open to all the modifieds in Ontario.
