With the theme of the season being to take it one step at a time for Bob Tasca
III and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane/Custom Accessories Shelby Mustang team, the
rookie heads into this weekend’s NHRA race
at Bristol Dragway eager to capture his team's
first win.
“This weekend
is a real important race for us,” said Tasca. “If you look back at the last few
races; in Vegas we qualified our season
best in the No. 3 position, Atlanta was our best showing with making it to the
semi-finals, and St. Louis was hands down our most consistent performance of the
season with getting the quickest ET of my career. So you can just see that at
each race, we establish a new high point
for the program.”
The one step
at a time approach has allowed the team to put together a solid collection of
data through the first seven races of the season, and to successfully make more
and more consistent runs down the
track.
“Going into
Bristol, you kind of want to pull it all together,” said the Rookie-of-the-Year
contender. “We want to qualify in the top half of the field, we want to have an
extremely consistent car throughout qualifying and we want to go to the finals
and ultimately win the race.”
