The Lucas Oil/Lucas Slick Mist Top Fuel dragster was on a roll at this weekend’s Sooner Nationals. Bruce Litton and team took home number one qualifier, Last Man Standing honors, top speed of the meet, and a runner up finish. This makes Litton’s third final in the four races completed so far on the IHRA tour. This weekend it was nearly the ‘Litton Show’ from start to finish as the Lucas Oil/Lucas Slick Mist dragster won the Last Man Standing by taking over the top qualifying position with a 4.737 at 310.13 mph, the fastest mph of the weekend. Litton then battled through two rounds of competition, taking out Todd Simpson and Del Cox Jr. before facing Tim Boychuk in the final round. Litton posted the quicker elapsed time, a 4.919 to Boychuk’s 4.929, but Boychuk got to the stripe first with a slightly better reaction time. This stellar weekend puts Litton first in the IHRA Top Fuel points standings.

“This was a great weekend for the Lucas Oil team,” said Litton. “The car was running great, even in this heat. The team worked hard and made all the right moves. Three finals in only four races is quite an accomplishment; I’m very thankful for our success so far. I have wonderful sponsors in Lucas Oil and Lucas Slick Mist. Not only do they have awesome products, the people behind the products are awesome as well. And I have a wonderful team that works hard and makes things happen. We’re out here enjoying what we do and seeing some success while we’re at it. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

The Lucas Oil machine also displays a decal commemorating the life of Karsyn Bell, a young girl who succumbed to cancer earlier this year. Litton is running the decal to honor Karsyn and promote the work of Riley Hospital for Children where Karsyn underwent several treatments during her illness.

“We’ve been running this decal for Karsyn and Riley Hospital for three races now and people are noticing it. It is my hope that we can raise awareness for what the hospital is doing for children like Karsyn. Hopefully we can take a few steps closer to ending childhood cancer.”
