Morgan Lucas and the GEICO/Lucas Oil Top Fuel dragster team leave the NHRA Kansas Nationals with a renewed focus on a crucial part of the weekend game plan: qualifying. Lucas lost in the first round on Sunday at Heartland Park Topeka despite having the third-quickest elapsed time of the session. Only Shawn Langdon and Lucas’ opponent Doug Kalitta had better times.

Brandon Bernstein and the ProtectTheHarvest.com/MAVTV Top Fuel dragster made an early exit from the NHRA Kansas Nationals at Heartland Park Topeka. “It just wasn’t our weekend, bottom line,” Bernstein said. “We didn’t perform where we thought we would perform, considering what we did in Atlanta last weekend. We had high hopes of going some more rounds here, but it didn’t work out for us here.”

Lucas Oil will be the primary sponsor for rising star Tristan Vautier, driving the No. 55 Honda-powered Dallara, in the 97th Indianapolis 500 on May 26. It will be Lucas Oil's second Indy 500 in partnership with Sam Schmidt, who co-owns Vautier's car with Ric Peterson. Lucas Oil backed Schmidt's entry in 2004 with driver Richie Hearn and in all subsequent seasons has been a primary sponsor of one entry from Schmidt's six-time champion Firestone Indy Lights team.

When the sun goes down, the stars com out for Route 66 Raceway's most EXPLOSIVE night of drag racing! All day NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event with nearly 500 race cars throughout the day starting at 9am.
