As Funny Car points leader Ron Capps aims to solidify a place in the top eight for the Countdown to the Championship playoff beginning at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals Labor Day weekend, his familiar Brut Dodge Charger will sport Valvoline colors at this weekend's O'Reilly NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals presented by Q in Bristol, Tenn.
This is the second of four venues this season at which a Don Schumacher Racing Funny Car will carry the Valvoline red, white, and blue.
"At Valvoline, we are psyched for Bristol!" said Rob Stravitz, vice president for global brands at Valvoline. "We have NHRA Funny Car points leader Ron Capps running the Valvoline red, white, and blue paint scheme, and we have all the DSR drivers running with Valvoline.
"We also have a stellar lineup of Sportsman racers in Valvoline colors, and we have thousands of Valvoline consumers watching the race in the stands and on ESPN2," added Stravitz. "If that were not enough, Valvoline is the official motor oil at Bristol."
