After a slow start to the season, NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster driver Brandon Lewis and his family's
TigerFlow Systems backed team are looking to stay on a roll at this weekend's Division 3 Lucas Oil
Drag Racing Series event at Route 66 Raceway just south of Chicago. Lewis made his first final
round appearance of the season during last weekend's United Association Nationals held there.
Lewis, 24, of Broken Arrow, Okla., cites a decision by Crew Chief Joe Monden to make changes to
engine combination for the team's turnaround. Lewis carded a best elapsed time of 5.33 seconds and
a best speed of over 273 mph.
"We're definitely pleased with the way the car responded last weekend," said Lewis. "The car was
just on the ragged edge of smoking the tires anywhere we went all year. So if we didn't have it
way down, it wouldn't go down the track. We made a pretty big change, and it paid off. We got six
good passes to get data from. I just wish we would have made these changes six races ago, but
hindsight is always 20/20.
"It was a great weekend for the team and our sponsor TigerFlow Systems," Lewis continued. "We had
over 40 TigerFlow guests on hand this weekend, so it was nice to have them be a part of us going to
the finals. It was great to reward their commitment to our team. We're also happy to take our
associate sponsors Morrison Construction, Lucas Oil, Unifirst, Ringers Gloves and A-1 Auto Body to
the final. It was a big morale booster for the team and we're all pumped about racing in Chicago
again this weekend."
Qualifying begins on Friday for the alcohol cars with one session, followed by two on Saturday.
Final eliminations will conclude the event on Sunday.
