POMONA, Calif. -- The Lucas Oil / Joe Amato Racing team driven by Morgan Lucas will transform their paint scheme to the "In Loving Memory of Darrell Russell" Top Fuel Dragster for the remainder of the 40th annual Auto Club of Southern California NHRA Finals in tribute to their former driver who succumbed to injuries sustained in a racing accident earlier this year in St. Louis.

Wayne Dupuy, crew chief for the Amato team will re-skin the Lucas Oil dragster on Friday night in time to commemorate the Darrell Russell auction being held at the NHRA Hospitality area at 6:30 p.m. PST on Saturday.

The public is invited to attend the live auction as well as the silent auction that will go on all day.
