Lucas Oil/GEICO Top Fuel dragster driver Morgan Lucas sees the positive in having to face the man who replaced him in the first round of the NHRA Gatornationals this weekend at Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville.
Ed. note: Over my many years in the automotive high-performance industry, the hardest performance parts to verify have always been engine additives for oil, water and fuel. My old boss, Jim Oddy, was a freak about oil and whether it could increase performance or parts life.
Lucas Oil co-founder Forrest Lucas joined a long list of drag racing greats with his induction into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame on Thursday night at the Paramount Plaza Hotel & Conference Center. Lucas was part of the 2014 class of Hall of Fame members that also included John Abbott, Al Bergler, Frank Hawley, Tom Hoover, and Warren Johnson. A banquet was held in their honor Thursday night.
Morgan Lucas will carry a different mind-set into this weekend's NHRA Gatornationals at Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville when he returns to drag racing behind the wheel of the Lucas Oil/GEICO Top Fuel dragster. The nine-time national event winner stepped away from full-time racing in 2014 to tend to his growing family and the family business, but Lucas, 30, is first and foremost a drag racing fan, and he'll race six or seven times this season to fulfill his passion.
