Bobby Martin Richmond preview

CAP CHARGER SET TO DEBUT IN RICHMOND

Alcohol funny car fans will get their first look at the new CAP Charger this weekend (May 4-6) at the Virginia Motorsports Park near Richmond, Virginia in the first Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event of 2007. The team is excited about the initial outing of the new Charger body with its retro paint scheme in blazing orange and white. Driver Bobby Martin also hopes to be blazing the strip in Richmond as the Daimler-Chrysler Automotive Program backed entry prepares to take on the competition in the fiercely competitive alcohol funny car class.

This event will also take on the flavor of a social outing as the Martin team will have a hospitality area for students from Tidewater Community College and area dealer personnel in the adjoining pit area. Tidewater Community College is a CAP school sponsor of the team and we are pleased to have them join us for a weekend of hot racing action.

This first race with the new Charger body should prove to be an interesting experience for the team as the past several years; they have used the Dodge Avenger body on the car. The aerodynamic differences in the two body styles hopefully will result in the team putting up some very competitive numbers this year.

Qualifying will be held on Friday, May 4 with sessions schedule for 3 and 6:30 pm with first round eliminations taking place on Saturday at 5.
