Maddern Racing earns the hardware in Bakersfield
Maddern Racing driver Chris Demke drove the Peen Rite/Clean Boost Performance Oil Top Alcohol Dragster to the win at the recently-completed Division 7 event in Bakersfield, Calif.
In doing so, Demke secured his position to compete in the prestigious 2011 Jegs Allstars event in July at Route 66 Raceway near Chicago.
"This weekend was really big for us," Demke said. "First, it was the week of Jerry Maddern’s birthday. He really wanted to run a 5.20 something which we missed by only .004 seconds. However, he’s pretty happy with the Wally and that we ran our quickest ET ever at Bakersfield by more than a tenth of a second.
"We also had veteran clutch man Jim Young handling all of our clutch duties along with fellow racer Mike Austin helping us with miscellaneous jobs around the pit.
"The field was uncharacteristically short due to several teams competing in Topeka as well, but a win is a win, and we’ll take it."
The Peen Rite Team secured the No. 1 qualifying position for the second time this year and set low ET and mph of the event by running a 5.303 at 272.27 mph. The win has moved the team into the No. 2 position in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series national points.
