Lucas Oil
Brings Top Dragster Action to PDRA Again in 2017
Hickory Enclosed Trailer Sales Sponsors Low Qualifier
Award for Both TD and TS
PITTSBORO, N.C. (March 4, 2017): As the stand-alone
full-size dragster category in the PDRA, Top Dragster
holds a great deal of weight with fans and racers, alike.
The class has garnered great support at tracks across the
country, leading to sub-four second qualifying bumps and a
national ET record of 3.696 In 2017, Lucas Oil Products
will once again bring Top Dragster action to the PDRA 660.
“Top Dragster is a very good fit for Lucas oil Products,”
expressed Lucas Oil’s Tom Bogner. “Not only is the class
very fast and exciting to watch, it is also a class that
utilizes multiple forms of power adders for these engines-
turbo, super chargers, nitrous oxide, as well as large
displacement engines. Lucas Oil makes a wide variety of
racing motor oils, suited for all these platforms. I
believe our involvement helps building our brand with many
more engine builders, as well as teams who all have
different types of racing oil needs.”
“Lucas Oil does so much for motorsports, across a variety
of genres,” added Will Smith, PDRA Director of Marketing.
“We are grateful that they also choose to be involved with
us and support our racers, not only in Top Dragster, but
in all categories. It’s a great partnership that we are
proud to welcome back for 2017.”
Bogner will be at select PDRA events throughout the
season, representing Lucas Oil and supporting the PDRA
customer base. “I am looking forward to attending events
again this year with you all. We know how hard these teams
work to build these amazing cars and are very proud to
have our Lucas Oil decals on each one of these in the
class. We hope to see even more teams using our oils in
them, as well.”
