NHRA LUCAS OIL DRAG RACING SERIES ON TAP FOR 2009
GLENDORA, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2008) – NHRA has released the 2009 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series schedule. The Series, which is headlined by the powerful Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car classes, features 44 races across the country throughout NHRA’s seven geographic regions. Competitors in eight classes in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series vie for divisional and national championships and a share of the year-end purse worth more than $560,000.
In addition to the Alcohol-powered categories, the Series also features NHRA’s Comp Eliminator, Super Stock, Stock Eliminator, Super Comp, Super Gas and Super Street classes. Each division also runs a Top Sportsman and a Top Dragster series in conjunction with their Lucas Oil events, and a Sportsman Motorcycle Series presented by Harley Davidson is contested in selected divisions.
“It’s hard to believe that the 2009 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series is already around the corner,” said Lucas Oil President and CEO Forrest Lucas. “We are so pleased and excited to continue our involvement with NHRA’s sportsman racers. They really are the backbone of this sport and we know first-hand what it takes to be involved in drag racing at this level and it’s not easy. We truly appreciate every one of those racers who is out there supporting the Lucas Oil Series.”
The NHRA Northeast division will kick off its Lucas Oil season in April at Virginia Motorsports Park in Petersburg, Va., before heading to Maple Grove Raceway, Reading, Pa., in May. Atco (N.J.) Raceway will host the first of two Lucas Oil Series events in June and racers will move to Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, N.Y., for a fete over the July 4th weekend. Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, Md., will be the site of the fifth race of the season in August and Old Bridge Twp. Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J., will host a Lucas Oil Series event in September. The Series will return to Atco Raceway in October to close out the year.
The 2009 schedule also includes three JEGS SPORTSnationals events and the JEGS Allstars Invitational. The SPORTSnationals are designed to highlight NHRA’s sportsman racers and give them a national event all their own. They will be run in Belle Rose, La., Fontana, Calif., and Columbus, Ohio. The JEGS Allstars event is the culmination of a year-long points battle where the top points-earning drivers in each class represent his or her division and square off against each other at the NHRA national event at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill. The JEGS Allstars purse is worth $100,000.
In addition to giving local racers an opportunity to race for championships close to home, the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series has been a training ground for many drivers in NHRA’s POWERade Drag Racing Series. Funny Car racers Jack Beckman and Tony Bartone are among today’s pros who have earned national championships in the Lucas Oil Series. Other former Lucas Oil national champions include Pro Stock drivers Jeg Coughlin Jr. and Jason Line, as well as Top Fuel pilot Steve Torrence. Many other current POWERade racers claim divisional titles on their resumes.
Headquartered in Glendora, Calif., NHRA is the primary sanctioning body for the sport of drag racing in the United States. It presents 24 events through its NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series. NHRA has 80,000 members and 140 member tracks. NHRA-sanctioned sportsman and bracket racing series provide competition opportunities for drivers of all levels. NHRA develops the stars of tomorrow by offering the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, NHRA Summit Racing Series and NHRA Street Legal Drags presented by AAA. NHRA also offers the O’Reilly Auto Parts Jr. Drag Racing League for youth ages 8 to 17.
