Paul Lee returns to the Lucas Oil Nationals in Brainerd with Lucas Oil as a major partner. The Nitro Funny Car will have a special scheme to showcase the Lucas Oil Slick Mist Car Care line. Lee and the McLeod Racing team hope to continue their phenomenal performance on track for 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

As growing partners both on and off the track, Lucas Oil and Paul Lee are both anxious to showcase a new look for the Lucas Oil Nationals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to return working with and representing the Lucas Oil family this year with the NHRA Funny Car team as well as our McLeod Racing business,\u201d says Lee, owner of McLeod Racing. \u201cThis new partnership will promote increased sales of Lucas Oil products and allows crew chief Jim Oberhofer and our team to continue a near perfect start in my return to NHRA drag racing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Without a doubt, both McLeod Racing and Lucas Oil are industry giants in the performance aftermarket arena. McLeod is now a distributor of Lucas Oil products and will provide their products in conjunction with sales of transmissions and other driveline components.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to a long working relationship as well as on track performance with Paul Lee and the entire team at McLeod,\u201d says Tom Bogner, Lucas Oil Director of Motorsports. \u201cLucas Oil Products and McLeod Racing have many of the same goals including selling products. This year marks our 30th<\/sup>\u00a0celebration of business and our Lucas Oil brand is stronger than ever. As two great American companies, we will continue to grow in the American Muscle aftermarket.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both partners are equally energized for this collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us at Lucas Oil are eager to get to Brainerd for the launch of this partnership,\u201d says Duane LaFleur, Lucas Oil Business Development for High Performance. \u201cIn the meetings with Paul, each party is optimistic about the future development for both NHRA drag racing and the aftermarket industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jim Oberhofer-lead team is looking to build on their accomplishments thus far in 2019. With a 3rd<\/sup> qualifying position and a second-round appearance in Norwalk, Lee looks to continue improving his racing program to become a competitive force in NHRA Funny Car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the umbrella of the Straightline Strategy Group (SSG), this partnership represents the future of the SSG organization. \u201cWe are thrilled to represent Paul and now establish the program with Lucas Oil,\u201d says SSG\u2019s Scott Gardner. \u201cThis is exactly how we planned our team concept to work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDriving this funny car has been one of the best experiences in my racing career thus far,\u201d says Lee. \u201cI have complete trust in my team and I am confident that we will continue to rack up the round wins on Sunday. This year continues to impress with the performance of the car as well as B2B opportunities with McLeod.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lucas Oil\/McLeod Racing Funny Car will be on track at Brainerd International Raceway August 16-18. Be sure to follow along: @paul_lee116, @mcleod_racing, @lucasoilproducts.<\/span><\/p>\n
