CALLAWAY TO FINISH YEAR IN CONWAY'S A/FUEL DRAGSTER
Callaway, from Baytown, Texas, is excited about the opportunity to drive for Team Owner/Tuner Tom Conway, who not only won last year's National and Division 4 Championship as a car owner, but two National Championships and eight Division 4 Championships as a driver.
Former NHRA Division 4 Top Alcohol
Dragster Champion Lee Callaway will be able to take the 'interim' off his title
as the newly announced driver of the Torco Race Fuels/Conway Automotive A/Fuel
Dragster. With two final round appearances in as many outings as the 'interim'
driver for the team, the team will continue their pursuit of both the Divisional
and National Championship during this weekend's Division 3 Lucas Oil Drag Racing
Series event at Gateway International Raceway just outside of St.
Louis.
Callaway, from Baytown, Texas, is excited about the opportunity to
drive for Team Owner/Tuner Tom Conway, who not only won last year's National and
Division 4 Championship as a car owner, but two National Championships and eight
Division 4 Championships as a driver.
"It's really an honor and privilege
to get to drive this car," said Callaway. "We kind of tested the water at the
past two races, and everything has clicked so far. Tom really has a great team
assembled; the car runs good and we have a good time racing. We're also have a
good sponsor in Evan Knoll's Torco Race Fuels companies. It really helps when
you have a sponsor that's behind you like they are."
The team is also
looking forward to competing with 'fresh pipe' at this weekend's event. The car
was recently back halved at Joe Monden Racecars following some rough outings
earlier in the year.
"We're excited about getting back on track with the
new backhalf," stated Team Manager Shane Conway. "The car had been driven
through some pretty serious tireshake during the first part of the year.
Hopefully the fresh pipe will help us improve our performance this weekend. One
of our sponsors Casino Queen is just a few miles from the track, so we'd like to
do well for them as well."
