The race was founded by Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson and named for his late son, Brooks Stuart Patterson, who died in a snowmobile crash in 2007. Patterson was unable to attend the race because he is recovering from injuries he received in an Aug. 10 car crash; he begins intense therapy on Monday to begin to walk again and said on Friday that he would be at home thinking nostalgic thoughts on Sunday morning.Â
