Only Shawn Langdon and Lucas’ opponent Doug Kalitta had better times. 2013-05-20 http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5235/Lucasshiftsfocustoimprovingqualifyingtohelpracedaysuccess http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5236/AilingBernsteinbowsoutearlyfromKansasNationals 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.” 2013-05-20 http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5236/AilingBernsteinbowsoutearlyfromKansasNationals http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5234/LucasOilentersIndy500withTristanVautierandSchmidtPetersonMotorsports 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.

The Track in Lake Elsinore, California is dominated by a very steep take off ramp that leads to a huge table-top jump that dominates the center of the track. When the wind blows across the lake, it can get downright scary. Get it right and you become a fan favorite. Misjudge the take-off and you have a long time to think about it before you come down. 2013-05-15 http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5232/LoanMartRacingWillBeFlyingHighinLakeElsinore http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5230/LucasOilReleasesNewSyntheticGreaseforValvetrainProtection A new synthetic grease from Lucas Oil originally targeted high-pressure points in valvetrains but has since found additional applications throughout the race vehicle.

Stanfield, the No. 12 qualifier, took out No. 4 qualifier and defending Pro Stock champion Allen Johnson in the first round with a quicker reaction time. That marked the second race in a row Stanfield advanced on a holeshot after beating No. 3 qualifier Mike Edwards in Houston two weeks ago. 2013-05-13 http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5226/MAVTVsStanfieldshowsoffdrivingprowessinAtlanta http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5225/BernsteinfightsthroughbackpaintoputProtectTheHarvestcomteaminAtlantafinal ProtectTheHarvest.com driver Brandon Bernstein gutted out an impressive performance through draining back pain to reach the Top Fuel final round of the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals on Saturday at Atlanta Dragway.

Rain forced NHRA to postpone the race from last weekend and also to reduce the number of qualifying sessions from the usual four to two. Lucas didn't make full passes in either of the two sessions Friday but was good enough to make the show. 2013-05-10 http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5224/LucasslipsGEICOLucasOildragsterintoAtlantafield http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5221/Oneand20arethenumbersthatmattertoModifieddriversatTheBullringthisweekend Saturday night, when the green flag waves for round three of the Lucas Oil Modifieds Series presented by LoanMart, the 24 drivers starting the race will have two objectives in mind.

That's a pretty serious stat. It's all business when he straps the helmet on and pulls the belts tight, but there's a lighter side to Renezeder that friends, family, crew and fans also find endearing. 2013-05-02 http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5213/RENEZEDERUNDEFEATEDINPRO4IN2013 http://www.lucasoil.com/articles1-5212/PROANGLERSPRENGELANDCOANGLERBOSCHWININAUGURALCABELASNATIONALWALLEYETOUREVENTATREDWINGMINN Pro-angler Korey Sprengel, of Beaver Dam, Wis., brought 26.81 pounds of walleye to the scales to win the inaugural event of the Cabela's National Walleye Tour (NWT) at Red Wing, Minn., on April 27.

"It feels great," Arana Jr. said. "This was the most nervous I've been. I guess it was wanting to keep up the reputation amid all the pressure.
