The Lucas Oil/Lucas Slick Mist Top Fuel dragster was on a roll at this weekend's Sooner Nationals.
Bruce Litton and team took home number one qualifier, Last Man Standing honors, top speed of the
meet, and a runner up finish. This makes Litton's third final in the four races completed so far on
the IHRA tour. This weekend it was nearly the 'Litton Show' from start to finish as the Lucas
Oil/Lucas Slick Mist dragster won the Last Man Standing by taking over the top qualifying position
with a 4.737 at
310.13 mph, the fastest mph of the weekend. Litton then battled through two rounds of competition,
taking out Todd Simpson and Del Cox Jr. before facing Tim Boychuk in the final round. Litton posted
the quicker elapsed time, a 4.919 to Boychuk's 4.929, but Boychuk got to the stripe first with a
slightly better reaction time. This stellar weekend puts Litton first in the IHRA Top Fuel points
standings.
"This was a great weekend for the Lucas Oil team," said Litton. "The car was running great, even in
this heat. The team worked hard and made all the right moves. Three finals in only four races is
quite an accomplishment; I'm very thankful for our success so far. I have wonderful sponsors in
Lucas Oil and Lucas Slick Mist. Not only do they have awesome products, the people behind the
products are awesome as well. And I have a wonderful team that works hard and makes things happen.
We're out here enjoying what we do and seeing some success while we're at it. It doesn't get much
better than that."
The Lucas Oil machine also displays a decal commemorating the life of Karsyn Bell, a young girl who
succumbed to cancer earlier this year.
Litton is running the decal to honor Karsyn and promote the work of Riley Hospital for Children
where Karsyn underwent several treatments during her illness.
"We've been running this decal for Karsyn and Riley Hospital for three races now and people are
noticing it. It is my hope that we can raise awareness for what the hospital is doing for children
like Karsyn.
Hopefully we can take a few steps closer to ending childhood cancer."
Litton will continue his good work both on and off the track at the IHRA Mopar Canadian Nationals,
July 17-19, where Litton and team will unleash the Lucas Oil dragster to further his current points
lead and continue their winning ways.
