Todd Lesenko, driver of the Tap It Beer/Jim Dunn Racing nitro funny car, will be behind the wheel in Las Vegas this coming weekend. While Todd has blasted down The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway before, Todd has not yet participated in the SummitRacing.com Nationals.

Todd’s previous racing experience at Las Vegas included racing this Dodge Charger during the fall event in 2011.

Coming off of the Gatornationals with a DNQ, the stakes are high for Todd in Las Vegas if he wants to stay in the points, but what better place to win it big? Todd is currently sitting ninth in points just ahead of last year’s champion Matt Hagan. Todd’s performance earlier this year shows that he has what it takes, having already defeated the previous champions from the last two years in Pomona and again at Phoenix…….
