Aspiring 27 year old NHRA Fuel Funny Car driver and 2005
graduate of Kettering University in Mechanical Engineering, Brian Olatunji driver of the
Pepsi racing team for Leadfoot Media are proud to announce the addition of the biggest
single day drag race in the world to their already action packed schedule. The additional
race will be the Night Under Fire at Norwalk Raceway Park on Saturday August 1st. The
night before the team will compete in their regularly scheduled NHRA All Motor headsup
event at Milan Dragway in front of the sold out crowd of more than 10,000
spectators. Olatunji and team are firmly entrenched in a battle sure to go down to the
final event of the season. The team is excited to partner with Harold Martin and Martin
Motorsports with their engine combination and this alliance will provide the horsepower
to garner a final round finish and ultimately a win.
Olatunji and team are preparing for no rest as they look to make the trip from
Milan Dragway in Milan, MI late Friday night to Norwalk Raceway Park in Norwalk, OH
for qualifying set to begin bright and early at 9 am. "My team and I are no strangers to
this situation and we are looking forward to representing our marketing partners with
professionalism and style. We are accustom to lack of rest as our marketing arm has
been working intensely on our current program as well as programs centered on future
activities in the alcohol and nitro ranks," said Olatunji. The team is proud of their alliance
with Pepsi and is currently in negotiations with several other world class corporations in
anticipation for the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle and Lucas Oil seasons. "We thank Mr.
William Langford at Pepsi for our partnership and look to provide and increase our value
and relationship into the future," expressed a focused Olatunji.
Brian Olatunji, a 2004 graduate of Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School with a
license in Top Alcohol Funny Car, has aligned with a championship team owner in the
NHRA Nitro Funny Car division with the goal of competing during the 2010 NHRA
season. "We made the decision to attend the night under fire event to expose ourselves
to the drag racing marketplace and continue our quest to get one of our autograph
cards in the hands of every fan in attendance at one of our events. This is why we are
excited about our collector's edition autograph card available at these events only."
Given Olatunji's popularity in and around his hometown of Detroit, the Night Under Fire
will be the ideal venue to continue to expand that reach.
