VIRGINIA NEXT FOR PERMATEX/FOLLOW A DREAM TEAM

Marstons Mills, MA-April 22, 2015-Jay Blake’s Permatex/Follow A Dream team heads to Virginia Motorsports Park just outside Richmond, Va., this weekend for the second race of the East Regional season with an excellent shot at the win. The team won the Top Alcohol Funny Car title and set low e.t. and top speed at Richmond in 2012 and ran numerous 5.50s at last year’s race and at two of three events so far this season.

“It’s a fast track, and the weather’s going to be in the mid-60s, so hopefully we can be right back in the .50s there again this year,” said driver Todd Veney.

The team will make a half-track checkout run on a brand-new engine on Thursday, followed by two qualifying shots on Friday. Eliminations are set for Saturday, with Sunday as the rain date.

“It’s the longest drive the crew makes all year, but everybody’s up for it,” Blake said. “We’ve got a couple final-round appearances at Virginia and won it a few years ago, so our sights are set high.”
