LAS VEGAS – Brandon Bernstein, driver of the Budweiser/Lucas Oil dragster, is on a mission. At the last race in Richmond , crew chiefs Tim and Kim Richards announced their retirement effective at the end of the season.
The ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals Oct. 31-Nov. 2 marks the next to last race of the season and Bernstein would like to end the year with a victory or two.
“First of all, we are indebted to Tim and Kim for giving us a fabulous career start,” said Bernstein. “ We’ve been fortunate to celebrate 17 victories since my 2003 rookie year. I know how precious victories are and how deep you have to dig as a team to win a race.
“Because of them and their tuning talent, we won Rookie of the Year in 2003 and last year we were campaigning for the Top Fuel championship trophy right down to the semifinals of the last race.
“We would like to send them off with a win at Vegas and maybe another one at Pomona to end the season and their careers. It would be an admirable send-off for two people who have made their mark in the NHRA history books.
“Additionally we won in Vegas in the spring of ’07 and Tim and Kim sent dad to the winner’s circle three times at ‘The Strip’ so we know this team’s capable. Knowing that you have a history of victories at a track gives you a boost of confidence going into the event.
“Additionally we’re looking for some round wins to climb the Top Fuel point ladder.
“Not only do we enjoy racing in Vegas, we are looking forward to the annual poker tournament to benefit Speedway Children’s Charities, Wed., Oct. 29.
On Thursday Kasey Kahne and I will participate in a Budweiser 1 Night Stand, ‘Off the Track…Off the Record.”
“Kasey and I have become good friends since he started driving the Budweiser Dodge, and we look forward to spending time together.
“But the first thing our team is going to do when we get to town is check out the new ROK Vegas™ nightclub at NewYork-New York Hotel and Casino along with the remodeled contemporary casino. We go to Vegas twice a year and we enjoy our association with New York - New York , our team’s official hotel.”
