Mike Lewis made a decision many years ago which put him on the executive side of drag racing’s corporate ladder.
The current Senior Vice President for Don Schumacher Racing doesn’t
regret his decision to forgo a career as a driver, but many years ago
when he undertook the responsibility of running a drag strip, he did so
with the vision of one day returning to a position behind the wheel.
Staying true to his desires, Lewis recently completed a Top Alcohol
Dragster course at the Frank Hawley Drag Racing School where he ran a
5.99 elapsed time at 231 miles per hour.
The experience was exactly that – an experience.
“I was just marking off an item on my bucket list,” Lewis explained,
talking about the things he wanted to do before “kicking the bucket.”
