Press Release Body = BROKEN ARROW, OKLA - March 20, 2007 The Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division-4 event at Memphis Motorsports Park will be the second event Brandon "The Kid" Lewis competes in this year. As far as he's concerned, though, Beale Street is where the 2007 NHRA season begins.
"We made so many changes during the offseason, we were doing too many different things in Houston," Lewis said of his last race when he suffered a first-round defeat. "We made a lot of progress that weekend and did some really positive things, but it a lot of ways we had to look back and treat it as a test session. The real season starts now."
As Lewis begins a stretch that finds him racing in Memphis, Houston and Dallas in a four-week period, he said Lewis Racing Team is ready and serious about winning.
"We have three races before our back-to-back events in Tulsa," he said. "When those races come up at our home track I want to have enough momentum built up to carry us trhough. We want that to start this weekend with a big win in Memphis."
The driver of the Aluminum Tank and Truck Accessories funny car needs a strong finish this weekend to improve his position in the SouthCentral Division standings. The primary goal for Lewis Racing Team this season is to win the division.
