The Fast Lane: Ready for a trifecta

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Bristol was a good weekend, but we’re sttill looking for that great weekend.

It was our second final round appearance of the year and the highlight of the weekend was teaming up with Jimmie Johnson and the Jimmie Johnson Foundation. What a great response we received from the audience at the track and the emails that poured in through our website.

Bristol Dragway seemed to be the ideal venue to reach an audience that would be attending a drag race but, at the same time, would be familiar with arguably one of the most famous NASCAR drivers. I’ve always believed that there is a bigger crossover audience between NASCAR and the NHRA than most would think. With a little luck, some diecast collectible cars will follow and the proceeds will go to Jimmie’s foundation. It’s a great cause anytime you can help families with children in need.

The Fast Lane: Action starting to pick up

Looking Back at St. Louis

Another solid semifinal finish at the O’Reilly NHRA Midwest Nationals in St. Louis, and we’re closing in on that Winner’s Circle.

We have to balance patience and aggression at the same time. We’re getting close to that first win! We did move up to third in the NHRA Full Throttle Countdown with our last run, so we are making steady progress.
