PDRA’s
Lucas Oil Top Dragster Expands to 32/48 Car Field for 2018
PITTSBORO, N.C. (October 10, 2017): Looking for innovative
and greater ways to support their sportsman racers, the
PDRA introduced a new program for MagnaFuel Top Sportsman
this year. It featured the chance for up to 48 cars to
qualify. The top 16 qualifiers automatically entered their
own class, Elite 16, while the bottom qualifiers formed a
separate 32 or 48 car field, based on the number of total
cars entered.
The PDRA is now proud to announce the same program will be
in place for Lucas Oil Top Dragster in 2018.
“This year was a huge success for MagnaFuel Top Sportsman
in having the Elite 16 and the regular 32 car Top
Sportsman field,” explained PDRA’s Bob Harris. “We’ve had
16 of the fastest Top Sportsman cars in the country
running consistently low numbers. Since it was such a
success, we’re going to continue that program for Top
Sportsman in 2018 and also offer it for Lucas Oil Top
Dragster. We’re very excited about the ways this will
support our Top Dragster racers and enhance the PDRA.”
Lucas Oil will remain the title sponsor of Top Dragster in
2018. “We thoroughly enjoy working with Lucas Oil,” stated
PDRA Director of Marketing, Will Smith. “They are
expanding their presence in the PDRA, including offering
more product at the events. Their involvement has
increased and allows us to do this new Top Dragster deal,
which is something that I think will be a great addition
to our PDRA family.”
For this program, qualifying will continue to operate in
the same way, all cars qualifying together. Once
qualifying is complete the top 16 cars automatically enter
the Elite 16. The remaining field will consist of either
16 or 32 cars, depending on the number of entries.

All four classes of Top
Sportsman and Top Dragster will run for a world championship and each
class will run for its own 660 Man at every event.
“We’re grateful to our racers for the support they show us,” added Harris.
“We aim to give them the best racing environment possible and do all we
can to make each class the best it can be.”
