BAYTOWN, Texas (April 14, 2019) – Raceday at the 32nd annual Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals presented by Pennzoil did not go as planned for Tim Wilkerson and the Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang nitro Funny Car. Wilk and his hard-hitting team, however, leave Houston Raceway Park with bolstered spirits and confidence in the knowledge that they have a very capable, very fast Ford.

In qualifying, the Springfield, Illinois-based team raked in a handful of bonus points as one of the top cars in the field. Wilkerson took the LRS Mustang to darn near the top, dealing his competitors a slick 3.895-second pass at 321.12 mph in the second session that would go down as low elapsed time of the round.

Starting from the No. 3 position, Wilkerson drew Blake Alexander, whose Pronto Auto Parts Ford Mustang is tuned by Daniel Wilkerson. The matching surnames are no coincidence; Daniel is Wilk’s son.

“It doesn’t make a difference who’s in the other lane, though,” said Wilkerson before their match. “I’m just going to race the track.”

Their first-round meeting marked the first time this year they’d raced in any round on Sunday. For Wilkerson, there was trouble from the get-go. His burnout was oddly off-pace, and he launched from the starting line with a reaction time far from normal (.221 to his opponent’s .088). Soon after, his car shook the tires and the parachutes came out. He could only watch Alexander truck ahead for the win on a 3.959-second pass at 298.34 mph.

“I don’t know what happened the whole run there, but there is something wrong because nothing worked right,” said Wilkerson. “I lost focus up there, then it shook and the parachute fell out of it. It didn’t make a difference what I did after that, we weren’t going to win.

“But there is no doubt about it, this Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang is a good car, and it’s really fast. I’m happy with how it runs, I just have to concentrate on keeping it fast.”

The next race on the 2019 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series tour is the NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte, April 26-28.

BAYTOWN, Texas (April 13, 2019) – Tim Wilkerson and his Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang have been on a tear as-of-late, and in qualifying at Houston Raceway Park’s 32nd annual Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals presented by Pennzoil, he remained true to form. The Springfield, Illinois-based nitro Funny Car campaigner powered to a best time of 3.895-second at 321.12 mph to claim the No. 3 position and a total of four bonus points. He will race Blake Alexander in round one on Sunday.

Wilkerson’s lofty qualifying berth certainly comes as no surprise. He entered the Houston event on the heels of back-to-back final rounds in both Gainesville and Las Vegas, and he and his dedicated team have been sharpening the saw at each race in qualifying. In Phoenix he was No. 3, in Gainesville No. 2, and in Las Vegas he nabbed the pole. It all comes down to raceday, though, and that is where Wilkerson is aching to see the team’s collective effort come to fruition.

“The problem you’re going to have tomorrow is that it’s going to be 180 degrees different out there than it’s been all weekend,” said Wilkerson, eyeing the fluctuating Houston-area weather. “We have crazy power now, but the weather system that’s going to come through is going to make it anybody’s race.”

Sunday’s forecast is calling for temperatures in the high 50s to mid-60s. Weather in Houston qualifying, though, was hot and sticky.

Wilkerson took the heat in stride. The driver who also wears the hats of team owner and tuner was out of the gate with a good hand for the conditions and laid his cards on the table in the first qualifying round with a solid 3.941, 320.81. It was good for the No. 3 spot and a bonus point as third-quickest of the session.

Round two of qualifying was where Wilk put his best foot forward, picking up the pace and clocking a 3.895-second pass at 321.12 mph that was low of the round and brought in another three bonus marks.

Saturday’s mixed bag of results included a 4.858 as the team tested in preparation for Sunday, and in the final session his ‘chutes popped early and was slowed to a 5.264. Wilk remains confident heading into eliminations, despite predicted conditions which don’t leave much room to rely on previously accumulated data.

“Tomorrow will be a different day, and we’ll see how it all works,” said Wilkerson. “I’m just going to concentrate on going down the track. We should be alright, but it’s going to come down to making the right decisions, plain and simple. We’re on a pretty good roll, and we’d sure like to keep that going.”

Quotes:
“I think it’s good we get to go again so quick. We learned what we wanted to with our blowers last weekend in Vegas, and Richard [Hartman, Team LRS] and I have a plan to get them more similar that we’re real excited about. We have a good car with our Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang, and I think you’ll see us climbing the ladder in points. I believe we can keep this up, and that’s good because there are a lot of good cars. It’s going to be a dogfight out there. You better have your stuff together, or you’re going to be on the outside looking in when it comes down to the Countdown to the Championship.”

LAS VEGAS (April 7, 2019) – In Gainesville two weeks ago, Tim Wilkerson and the Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang nitro Funny Car team were hot. They qualified well there on the east coast, and they scored a final-round finish. In Las Vegas this weekend, they showed no signs of cooling as they blasted down the racetrack to score their first No. 1 qualifier award of the season and a trip to the final round on Sunday.

The DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway set the stage for Wilk and his fiercely determined team to show their stuff, and they were flaunting what they’ve got as soon as the tree dropped in round one.

The only guy to react quicker than Wilkerson was Shawn Langdon, known to be one of the best leavers in the sport. At the top end, the LRS Mustang laid down the law with a 3.891-second pass at a brutal 325.69 mph that would hold as low elapsed time of raceday.

Wilkerson advanced to round two along with Jeff Deihl as both Langdon and points leader Robert Hight were up in smoke on the hot racing surface.

In round two, Wilk was again efficient at the hit and made the second-best pass of the round, a 3.996 at 312.21, to move ahead with J.R. Todd to the final. Matt Hagan and Diehl both had trouble in their respective lanes.

Fired up for the final, Wilk was set to hoist a trophy but got a bit out of the groove and encountered tire smoke, which slowed his pace considerably. J.R. Todd moved ahead for the win, and Tommy Johnson Jr. logged a runner-up. Jack Beckman and Wilkerson finished third and fourth, respectively, to officially record semifinals finishes.

“I do feel good, even though I’m a little disappointed,” said Wilkerson, who moved to No. 7 in the Funny Car points with his Las Vegas performance. “We haven’t raced in those kind of conditions this year until today, and I wish I would have been in that lane that we liked because maybe we would have won the race. But ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda’ is just part of racing.

“We’re happy with the way our Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang is running, and we have a lot of neat things coming in the near future – including a new Ford Mustang body and a special 40th anniversary LRS design. We’re real excited about that new [Funny Car] body, because if it’s as good as the one we have now, we’re going to be really happy. We’re hearing it’s better, so that’s pretty cool.”

The next event on the 2019 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series tour is the NHRA Spring Nationals in Houston, April 12-14.

LAS VEGAS (April 6, 2019) – Tim Wilkerson’s most recent low qualifier award was in Bristol in 2017, but on Saturday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, he reset the dial by securing the pole at the DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals. His best time of 3.895-second at 323.50 mph recorded in the second session on Friday did the trick.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve been No. 1 qualifier, but I kind of pull that out of my hat sometimes. It might take me a year or two, but I can get it done,” said Wilkerson with a wink. “In all seriousness, I’m really proud of how our LRS Ford Mustang runs. We qualified second in Gainesville and third the race before that in Phoenix. We’ve been knocking on the door.

“This is an exciting year for us, because it’s our 20th year with Levi, Ray and Shoup as our main sponsor. You always want to do well, but it’s really neat to be able to perform like this in such a special year.”

Wilkerson, who now has 20 No. 1 qualifier awards as a nitro Funny Car driver, gives much of the credit for his most recent coup to some off-season revamping that he and chassis builder Murf McKinney collaborated on.

“We front-halved the car last year; Murf and I changed it a little bit, and it’s really responding,” he explained. “We made some real subtle changes, and now it’s got good 60-foot times and is picking up well between the 330 and 660 clocks. I’m pretty proud of it.

“We need to figure out how to keep the monster calmed down a little bit, but I’m excited. But I think tomorrow the key is going to be who is consistent. The sun will be the great equalizer, and it’ll be interesting all day.”

Wilkerson will race Jeff Diehl, Shawn Langdon, and Robert Hight in the first quad on Sunday. Eliminations for the DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals will begin at noon Pacific Time at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

LAS VEGAS (April 5, 2019) – The first day of Las Vegas qualifying was a win for Tim Wilkerson and the Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang team. Wilkerson wheeled his way to the top spot at the DENSO Auto Parts NHRA Four-Wide Nationals with a bold 3.895-second pass at 323.50 mph that came along with three bonus qualifying points and a good boost of spirits for the surging group.

“I’ve been really critical of the track prep this year, and I just want to tell these guys how great of a job they did,” said Wilkerson, referring to NHRA and the Safety Safari, as well as The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway director of drag racing operations Jeff Foster and his crew.

“On that first run, I decided I was just going to try to go down through there, and the car was just a duck. It was so slow, it was unbelievable,” continued Wilkerson, who clocked a meager 4.065, 289.51 in the first round of qualifying that set him 12th in the lineup.

“We came back and looked at what we did wrong, and we tuned it up. Richard [Hartman, co-crew chief] said, how fast do you think it will go? I said, it’ll go 3.90. He said, you think there’s a 3.90 out there? I said, well, we’re about to find out. Anyway, we’re pretty proud of the thing.”

Wilkerson’s most recent No. 1 was in 2017 in Bristol, and he is in pursuit of the 20th pole of his nitro Funny Career. Two weeks ago in Gainesville, Wilkerson was the No. 2 qualifier and had the horsepower to reach the final round.

“I’m pretty comfortable based on last race,” said Wilkerson. “Our LRS Ford Mustang is a good car that’s been going down the track consistently, and it’s pretty fast. Hopefully, with any luck, I can keep from messing that up.”

Qualifying for the DENSO Auto Parts NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will continue on Saturday beginning at 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

Storylines and notes:
• Tim Wilkerson says that his 2008 victory over Ashley Force Hood at the spring race in Las Vegas is one of his favorites out of 20 nitro Funny Car wins
• The DENSO NHRA Four-Wide Nationals will be the 497th race of Wilkerson’s career as a nitro Funny Car driver. Race 500 will be the event in Atlanta next month.
• In regard to previous four-wide competition, Wilkerson won the 2016 four-wide race at zMAX Dragway in Charlotte
• Wilkerson, the driver, tuner, and team owner of the LRS Ford Funny Car, is an independent driver and the only single-car team in the category to finish in the top 10 in 2018
• The early portion of Wilkerson’s career included a successful run as a Top Alcohol Funny Car driver.

Quotes:
“Depending on how the lanes are, whether or not all four of them are equally as good, we could make a good show for the fans. We had a lot of people there at the four-wide race last year, and it’s a blast getting to entertain a crowd like that.

“We had a good race in Gainesville a couple of weeks ago, the guys on our crew are getting used to going rounds, and I was pretty happy with my driving and all that. I repositioned myself in the car before that race, and I feel a little bit better sitting in it, so I’m optimistic. You don’t really know how it’s going to go, but like I said, if all four lanes are good, I think we’ll have a good time.

“We won the four-wide race in Charlotte a few years back, and we were the fastest car every run. I think lane choice is what won that race for us, so there’s a good chance it’ll be the same deal this weekend in Vegas. We have the ability to be the fastest car every run with this Levi, Ray and Shoup Ford Mustang, so I’ll shallow up every run and see if I can stay away from running Robert Hight this time around. He was a thorn in our side in Gainesville, and we don’t want any more of that.”
