Lucas Oil Available at all NHRA Division 1 Races
Courtney Enders - August 1, 2008
Sportsman racers competing in Division 1 will be able to purchase their
motor oil at the races directly from series' sponsor Lucas Oil beginning
with the next Division 1 event, Aug. 22-24, at Cecil County Dragway in
Rising Sun, Md.
Working in conjunction with Northeast sportsman racer and Lucas Oil
distributor Billy Caprara of Fx Caprara in Watertown, N.Y., a fully-stocked
and staffed Lucas Oil trailer will be on hand at the final three Division 1
races on the 2008 schedule. After Cecil County, there will be races held
Sept. 5-7 at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J., and Oct.
3-5 at Atco Dragway in Atco, N.J.
"We all need oil to race so it makes sense to use the best oil on the market
and support a sponsor that has given so much to our sport," Caprara said.
"Plus it will help a lot of racers out to know they can get some great oil
right there at the track. We won't run out and they won’t need to weigh down
their trailers with extra supplies."
If participating racers respond well to this pilot program, Lucas Oil plans
to expand the service to all seven NHRA divisions.
"Many racers already use our products," said Don Corsette, Lucas Oil Sales
Development division. "Hopefully, many more will switch to our brand and
take advantage of this new program. We have tentative plans to do this at
all the divisional races across the country but before we dispatch crews
everywhere we're going to analyze how the Division 1 racers react."
