DENSO NHRA Sonoma Nationals
Pre-Race Report
Quotes for the upcoming Sonoma race –
Cruz Pedregon, two-time Funny Car World Champion
“Our team feels really good about taking the Snap-on Dodge Hellcat to Sonoma and letting it rip. We had some good runs in Seattle, four in a row, back-to-back, which is really exciting for us. The team has worked hard this summer to get the car where it is now.”
“The momentum from Seattle is something we want to carry into Sonoma and through the rest of the year. We’re about halfway through the season, so it’s a good time for us to start hitting on all eight, both literally and figuratively.”
“I love going to Sonoma every year; it’s like a second home for me. Northern California is a special place, and as we’re from the West Coast, it feels great to be here. We’re especially excited to welcome our fans, the Snap-on franchisees, and their customers.”
“Plus, being a big Raiders fan, it’s great to be in Raiders country and have fans who share that enthusiasm cheering us on.”
