Frisselle’s next step was to run the complete 2003 Formula Dodge National Championship. Brian came out strong, earning a third place finish at the first race weekend. In addition, Brian took advantage of an opportunity to broaden his racing experience by competing in the first nine rounds of the Fran-Am 1600 Western Series. In what was only his second race weekend in the series, Brian achieved a podium finish. The combined experience led to Frisselle’s impressive achievement of finishing the 2004 National Championship with three consecutive victories. This feat, coupled with strong performances throughout the season, earned Brian a fourth place finish in the overall championship.

Brian continued his accelerated learning curve in 2004, as he participated in two highly competitive open wheel series, the 2004 Star Mazda Series North American Championship and the 2004 Formula BMW USA Championship. Frisselle, racing for Synergy Racing (G&W Motorsports), made his debut in the Mazda series at Sebring International Raceway where he was immediately impressive, running in P1 and P2 for most of the week and qualifying 2nd for the race. Brian was equally competitive in the Formula BMW USA Championship in which he drove for PoleVision Racing. Despite the challenge of coming late to the series without any testing, Frisselle demonstrated impressive determination and skill, proving the depth of his talent with solid performances, including a 3rd place finish at Lime Rock Park in his first race weekend and a 2nd place finish at Road America.
