In most sporting events it's known as the home field advantage. When Terry McMillen brings his
Amalie Oil / Wolverine Boots and Apparel Top Fuel Dragster to the U.S. 131 Motorsports Park in
Martin, Michigan it will be the closest thing to home field advantage that a drag racer can hop
for.
"We've been busy preparing for the IHRA North American Nationals," McMillen said. "It's not every
day that we get to race this close to home. We'll have so many friends and family here visiting and
supporting our team. It's just awesome to have that much hometown support. Jason and Stephanie
Peterson (track owners) do such a great job making this place feel like home for all the teams.
It's just great to race here."
McMillen will be looking for a little redemption to his final round loss at U.S. 131 Motorsports
Park to Spencer Massey. "The key to our success this weekend will be to stay focused," McMillen
added. "With all of our friends here it can be easy to get distracted."
The Hoosier Thunder team will also bring the world-famous Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car to
Martin. This race was not scheduled for the Instigator but once the opportunity became available
McMillen made sure the 'original InstiGator' was there. "It just a great chance for us to over
deliver for our marketing partners," McMillen said.
Austin "Coil" Lambright, Top Fuel crew member, who earned his Funny Car license earlier this year,
will make his National Event debut. "Austin has been working hard towards this event," McMillen
said. "It's always exciting to see the young blood get into this sport. They bring a lot of
excitement and a continue to expand our fan base at Hoosier Thunder."
"We've got the best marketing partners in the world," McMillen added. "Most have been with us at
least 5 years, some exceed 10 seasons. It's always our privilege to represent them and the
InstiGator team helps continue that mission."
