Russ Parker Medford preview

Back To Basics for Parker in Medford

Sunland, CA- Russ Parker, from Salem, Oregon and the Sam’s Transmissions, Bellemeur Motorsports TA/FC will head to Medford, Oregon this weekend for the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series (LODRS) event at Champion Raceway. The event will be a welcome homecoming for Parker and the team as they look to repeat their strong semi final finish from a year ago and bounce back from a disappointing outing at the LODRS race in Bakersfield, CA just two weeks ago.

The LODRS Bakersfield race didn’t go without its high points for the team; however, as the crew led by crew chief Gregg Bellemeur had a new engine combination that showed lots of promise. “Quite simply, we had too much wheel speed early,” said Gregg as they used testing and qualifying to track down the right combination for the new engine and tricky Bakersfield conditions. “The car got real aggressive and spun the tires, now we will go back to basics and hopefully cruise down the Medford track the way we know how.” Driver Russ Parker added, “Our car does really well on these divisional level tracks. Gregg has the car set up well and I am excited to go out and repeat our performance from last year, or better yet, win it all together.”

Parker sits 7th in the Northwest division points standings right now and is within close striking distance of a top 5 finish. The Bellemeur Motorsports team would like to thank its sponsors Sam’s Transmissions, Lucas Oil, Lenco Racing Transmissions, Baxter Auto Parts, Good Day Fishing, and Mastercam. Race fans are invited to come to the event, cheer on the team, and meet Russ Parker and crew. Fans can also follow the action online at www.dragracecentral.com.
