26-year old racer Luke Bogacki has had some phenomenal moments in his
racing career that spans back to 1993. In 1998, at just seventeen,
Bogacki collected three wins at his home track, Texas Raceway, during
the annual Labor Day Landslide weekend; culminated by a “Race for a
Dragster” victory that landed him his first dragster. In 2001, he owned
the Friday portion of the annual “Million Dollar Race Weekend,”
claiming the day’s “Twin 20” $20,000 victory as well as the Mullis
All-Star Shootout; amassing some 14 consecutive round wins against the
toughest competition in the country. He left the IHRA AC Delco
Nationals in 2003 with his first national event victory (in Hot Rod),
and a runner-up finish in the prestigious Moser Axle Mania Shootout--he
made both final rounds at the wheel of two machines he had never driven
prior to that weekend! In 2004, he became the only competitor in the
series’ long illustrious history to sweep the Tenn-Tuck Triple crown,
winning all three $10,000 main events in the first weekend of the
series. Last season, he appeared in four final rounds in one day at the
DragRaceResults.com Bracket Series event at Abilene Dragway, an event
that cemented his run to the series championships.
Though Bogacki, who now resides in Woodville, AL, is obviously no
stranger to the winners circle, he has never had a day quite like he
did at Gainesville Raceway last Saturday. There, he drove his familiar
CSR Performance Products Dragster and Mickey Thompson Tires Vega to
what is arguably the most impressive performance of his career to date.
