Jay Blake’s Permatex/Follow A Dream team heads to Lebanon Valley Dragway in upstate New York, where the team has had more success than at any other track on tour, for this weekend’s East Region Lucas Oil Series race. Last year, driver Todd Veney qualified No. 1 (5.639), ran low e.t. (5.637), set top speed (254.87 mph), and won the race.
“I don’t know what it is about Lebanon Valley, but [tuner] Tom Howell has really had a handle on that place the last few years,” said Veney, who also got the win at the 2010 race, his first with the Permatex/Follow A Dream team. “We have a new car this year, so I don’t know how much of his setup still applies, but he always seems to figure it out.”
Qualifying begins Friday at 2 p.m. and concludes that evening with a last-shot session at 6. Eliminations are set for Saturday at 11:30 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.
From Lebanon Valley, the team heads to Chicago for the prestigious Jegs Allstars race as the top seed for the East Region team.
