ELKHART, Ind. – In most sporting events it’s known as the home field advantage. When Terry McMillen brings his Amalie Oil / Wolverine Boots and Apparel Top Fuel Dragster to the U.S. 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan it will be the closest thing to home field advantage that a drag racer can hop for.
“We’ve been busy preparing for the IHRA North American Nationals,” McMillen said. “It’s not every day that we get to race this close to home. We’ll have so many friends and family here visiting and supporting our team. It’s just awesome to have that much hometown support. Jason and Stephanie Peterson (track owners) do such a great job making this place feel like home for all the teams. It’s just great to race here.”
McMillen will be looking for a little redemption to his final round loss at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park to Spencer Massey. “The key to our success this weekend will be to stay focused,” McMillen added. “With all of our friends here it can be easy to get distracted.”
