SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS, NO. 11 TEAM HYDROXYCUT CHEVROLET, KVSH RACING (qualified 19th):

IT’S BEEN SAID THAT CARS WITH DOME SKIDS ARE A LITTLE HARDER TO HANDLE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT AND HAVE YOU HAD THOSE ISSUES? “It’s not designed to make the cars easier or worse to drive. They are there to keep the cars from flying so I am not sure why we are talking about it. But to be quite honest it pisses me off because that has been the lead-up to the event and the greatest race that we have had in 100 years. It’s a shame. It’s sad. To me it’s who gives a damn about the dome skids. They don’t even need to know about it. The car is the way it is, we are going to put on a great show, and that is all people need to know about it. Honestly I am pissed at the media in general for making a mess of it and for some drivers to make such a big deal about it.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Sebastien Bourdais →

BUDDY LAZIER, NO. 4 LAZIER/BURNS RACING CHEVROLET, LAZIER/BURNS RACING (qualified 32nd; 1996 Indy 500 winner):

TALK ABOUT YOUR HISTORY HERE. “Two times we’ve had the race won and we had a little issue. In 2000 with Juan (Montoya) we were fast and we were quicker than he was. We had our car a little better on raceday, and we were getting killed every time we went in for fuel. We took fuel twice as many times as he did. We just missed that year – strategy and otherwise. We very easily could have won it. A couple of years later, we had the race won and our last set of tires we had no stagger. So these second-place finishes haunt you. When you win a race, you put it on a shelf. And this is such a special race to win. There have been probably four or five other times where we were a hair away from winning.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Media Day →

home to Bowling Green
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (May 25) — A golden era of NHRA drag racing has been revived with the JEGS NHRA SPORTSnationals presented by Quick Fuel Technology making a long-awaited return to scenic Beech Bend Raceway Park this weekend.

From 1975 through 1981 and again in 1985-86, the JEGS SPORTSnationals was held at Beech Bend Raceway Park in the rolling hills of central Kentucky, and it was a must-attend event for Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Sportsman drivers, many of whom came from as far away as California and western Canada. That same sense of eagerness is already being felt by the expected field of more than 500 drivers who will be on hand this weekend.
