Snyder Looking for Victory at “The Big Go”

Mick Snyder will be in Indianapolis, Indiana this weekend at Indianapolis Raceway Park to participate in the longest, most prestigious event on the NHRA circuit. Snyder, the 24 year-old second-generation driver, made it to the semi-finals last year and lost to the eventual winner by literally inches at the finish line. This year, Snyder and the Snyder Motorsports Race Team are looking to put their TORCO Racing Fuels Top Alcohol Funny Car in the Winner’s Circle.

“There is no mistaking “The Big Go” is the most prestigious race of the year. There are 23 National events currently on the NHRA circuit. Each time a team unloads their car to prepare it for race day they are looking to win the race. The difference is everyone remembers who wins here,” Snyder commented.

The TORCO Racing Fuels sponsored car has been on a tremendous streak over the past couple of months. They have accumulated 5 number one qualifying positions and four straight final round appearances including 2 wins heading into this weekend. The Team is looking for continued success against a very tight field.

“As a driver and team, we try to come into this race with the same mindset as any other we have been to this year. We, as a team, treat every race with high importance. To say that we would treat this one differently would mean that we haven’t been giving 100% all year. With this great team that just isn’t the case. Everyone works together to make sure we will be ready to go each qualifying shot and on race day. Hopefully, this will all pay off and we will be in the Winner’s Circle on Monday afternoon. Then we will be able to look back and think, ‘We just won the biggest race of the season’,” Snyder remarked.

Snyder will begin qualifying on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 PM. He will have two more shots on Friday at 12:00 and 4:30 PM with the final attempt coming on Saturday at 4:00 PM. First round of eliminations will be held on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM and continued on Labor Day around noon.
