TROXEL LIKELY IN-N-OUT OF THE TOUR

Melanie Troxel and the In-N-Out Burger Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car team have made a lot of progress during the first six races of the NHRA Full Throttle Series season.

After winning another elimination round Sunday and generally running well throughout this weekend's 11th annual SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals, Troxel just hopes the team is able to land more funding so they don't have to break their momentum.

After winning another elimination round Sunday and generally running well throughout this weekend's 11th annual SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals, Troxel just hopes the team is able to land more funding so they don't have to break their momentum.

"Potentailly this could be our last race in the Funny Car for three months," Troxel said. "There's no races scheduled for In-N-Out Burger until mid-July when we go to Sonoma. It's a little disappointing to be making progress like this and not be able to continue on."

Troxel isn't giving up hope that her R2B2 Racing team will find funding to continue their season and try to secure a place in the Countdown to the Championship.

"Our situation can always change if we find a company that wants to come on board and sponsor the car," Troxel said. "You never know; you may see us back out there."

Troxel won't totally be on the sidelines as the In-N-Out Burger Pro Mod Corvette is scheduled to run April 30-May 2 in the AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals at Gateway International Raceway outside of St. Louis.
