BATON ROUGE, La. – The Amalie Oil / Wolverine Top Fuel Dragster’s day ended early at the Inaugural IHRA Mardi Gras Nationals. McMillen started hazing the tires as Bobby Lagana, Jr. drove around for the win. Lagana would go on to lose to Bruce
Litton in the finals.
“It didn’t turn out like we planned,” McMillen said after the race. “It wasn’t from lack of effort. Just about everything on this car is new and we’ve still got a couple of issues to work on.”
The weekend started off promising as McMillen drove his dragster on two consistent qualifying runs on Friday night (4.89 @ 301mph) and Saturday afternoon (4.86 @ 305mph) kept the team qualified in the top half of the field at #4.
“The fans were great,” McMillen said. “They packed the place and hung around all day asking questions and cheering us on. Plus the track put on a big Crawfish Boil and my guys appreciated that a lot.”
