NHRA® Team Report
NHRA Summernationals - Indianapolis
Pre-Race Report
Cruz Pedregon and team are looking forward to getting back together in Indianapolis this weekend with the NHRA family for the second official racing event since the pandemic shutdown. The team tested on Friday and was pleased Saturday with the back-to-back 4.09 passes in qualifying.
"It felt good to get those solid runs in qualifying but we knew the early Sunday start conditions on race day were going to be different. It was cooler, so we made changes to try to grab some additional power out of the Snap-on Dodge®," Cruz says. "The car didn't adapt well to those adjustments, so we ended up hurting about halfway down the track. That's what we've been working on this week and you'll see improvement when we hit the track this Saturday."
The team took the time to disassemble the pit and move back to the shop in nearby Brownsburg where it has been going through components to better understand what caused issues with the car and how to push through it at the upcoming Summernationals.
"It is so great to be back out on the track, and we are grateful to all the fans who came out to support us," says Cruz. "Everyone is following the social distancing and protective rules. And, for those who can't make it out to the track, we're excited for them for them to be able to enjoy NHRA racing again on FOX Sports and online."
Cruz's Dodge® will again pay tribute to the Snap-on 100th with its paint scheme and logo. Fans are encouraged throughout the season to post pictures of the car with the hashtag #Snapon100.
