Austin "Coil" Lambright will make his second start this weekend behind the wheel of the Hoosier
Thunder Motorsports Alcohol Funny Car know as the Amalie Oil InstiGator. It will be Lambright's
first professional appearance at a national event. The IHRA Northern Nationals begin this weekend
at the U.S. 131 Motorsports Park in Martin Michigan.
"Austin has worked extremely hard to earn this opportunity," team owner Terry McMillen said from
his Indiana race shop. "He came up through the junior ranks and was very competitive at the
sportsman level. He's been with our team for three years now, I'm excited to see how he does."
Lambright will pull double duty this weekend. He'll drive the team Funny Car and continue his
duties on McMillen's Amalie Oil / Wolverine Boots and Apparel Top Fuel Dragster. While Lambright is
just 22-years-old, he already has 12 years of drag racing experience. "I'm really thankful for
Rhonda and Terry McMillen's support," Lambright said. "This is a great opportunity and I want to
make the most of it." Woodland Park has been a proud sponsor of Lambright's racing career and will
continue with him at this weekend's national event.
"Woodland Park has been on every car I've driven down the track," Lambright said. "They've always
answered the call, I can't thank them enough."
Woodland Park manufactures high quality recreational park trailers or Park Models. The Middlebury
Indiana company, owned by Ernie Yoder, has always concentrated on quality - not quantity. Woodland
Park can be found on the web at http://www.woodland-park.com.
While Lambright pulled double-duty last season at Martin, wrenching on the Alcohol Funny Car and
the Top Fuel Dragster, he doesn't see it as an obstacle. "There was a lot on my shoulders last
year," he said. "The only difference this season is that I'll be in the driver's seat. I just need
to stay consistent and hit my marks. We had some very successful test sessions. We're eager to see
what we can run in the Amalie Oil InstiGator. Terry has provided me with a competitive car and
crew, so it's all on my shoulders."
