Brandon Bernstein is anxious to get the 2008 season underway.
Bolstered by solid performances in pre-event testing, the second
generation driver is invigorated and ready to renew his pursuit of an
NHRA Top Fuel championship.
The popular driver of the Budweiser/Lucas Oil Top Fuel dragster came
ever so close to winning the championship last year, finally losing the
battle for the coveted “Wally” trophy in the semifinals of the
season-ending event at Auto Club Raceway. Building off the team’s
consistent success in ’07, team owner Kenny Bernstein feels the
Bud/Lucas Oil Team has all the markings of another strong run for the
Series title in 2008.
When Bernstein competes at the CARQUEST Auto Parts Winternationals Feb.
7-10, he’ll be looking to equal or better his runner-up finish at last
year’s season-opener. Bernstein will be sporting a new red Budweiser
paint scheme, inspired by Bud’s new tagline, “The Great American Lager.”
Six-time champion Kenny spent five days in Phoenix monitoring the team’s progress in pre-season testing.
