Bruce Litton knows every move he makes from this point in the 2008
season can be crucial to his IHRA Top Fuel championship defense. The
Lucas Oil-sponsored driver leads
rookie driver Spencer Massey by only two points with four races left on
the tour.
Massey is not the only driver Litton should be concerned with and he’s aware of that.

“Spencer and I are neck and neck, but look right behind us. Bobby Lagana is right there, Mike Strasburg is in the hunt and Terry McMillen, coming off a win in Grand Bend, has some momentum,” Litton said. “Heck, even Kevin Jones, who is in sixth place right now, has every opportunity to make some noise before all is said and done. I can’t worry about Spencer … can’t worry about Bobby … can’t worry about anybody else. I have to worry about my race car, my race team and concentrate on qualifying and going rounds. If I do my job the points race will take care of itself.”
Litton has been to three final rounds in six events this season. His only win came when he knocked off Scott Palmer in the final round of the Motor City Nationals in Milan, Michigan.
