Foster enters the event hot off the heels of a win at last weekend’s NHRA Division 3 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event in Norwalk, Ohio.

Foster, who lives just a few hours down the road in Davenport, Ia., is excited to debut the Goodridge sponsorship at what he considers his home national event.

“We are really excited to get the Goodridge colors back on the car,” said Foster. “Goodridge makes the best hoses and fittings out there, and we hope to use the sponsorship to build brand awareness in the drag racing market. They make a great product and they have a great team to support it. Hopefully we can deliver for them over the next few races.”

Jack Hastings, Director of Motorsports for Goodridge is looking forward to the expanded relationship with Foster Racing in 2011.

“Goodridge is proud to extend our relationship with Chris and the entire Foster Race Team for 2011,” stated Hastings. “Goodridge fluid transfer products have been associated with race Champions for over 40 years and Chris Foster exemplifies those who continue to ‘Push the Limits.’ We look forward to sharing in his success for 2011.”

Foster and his team posted career-best numbers at the divisional event held at Route 66 last month en route to a runner-up finish. The team hopes to build on those numbers this weekend.

“We finally got into the 5.50’s here last month,” cited Foster. “[Crew Chief] Will Hanna and the team really have the car running great right now. It’s going to be a tough race as all the hitters from around the country will be here. We’re looking forward to slugging it out with them. Hopefully we can make a good showing for Goodridge and our associate sponsors DragRaceHose.com, Motorsports Unlimited, Red Line Oil, Ace Clutch Discs, Victory Valves, Morel Lifters, RBS Superchargers, Manton Rockerarms, NRE Heads and Forbes Construction.”

Qualifying begins on Friday with two sessions followed by one final session Saturday morning. Final eliminations will conclude the event on Sunday.
