801 Racing Gatornationals Racing Report - Victory!

Orem, UT – After winning the 2012 NHRA Big O Tires Gatornationals, Chris Demke and 801 Racing Sponsored Team realized they were living the dream. Back to back Gatornationals wins, and back to back National Event wins. They also recorded the third fastest Blown Top Alcohol Dragster elapsed time. It’s quite the accomplishment. All this has not gone unnoticed. Facebook, Twitter, internet news sites, blogs, all abuzz with the accomplishments of Chris Demke and the Maddern Racing Team.

801 Racing’s John Hill found it hard to remain subtle. When contacted, he waxed poetic about his 801 Racing Team; “We're not surprised at all. It's a simple equation. You take one of the best racers known to man and the animal kingdom, add some of the best racing products literally in the world and you walk away with Wally's. Really though, there's much more to it than that. The Maddern racing team is an amazing bunch, full of ingenuity and good times and they're really the ones that make it all happen.”

All this hype and hoopla is not lost on Chris Demke’s brother, Mike Demke. Affectingly known in some circles as “Hamburger Mike, he too is living the dream. “It’s so humbling, but you can't order a win, you have to earn it,” said Demke. “The car has been fantastic for three races, and surprisingly we have not had to work that much on it. We are running monster numbers. I have never seen such clean parts and no bearing wear. The 801 Racing Oil 70Wt with CleanBoost Technology is doing wonders for us. In fact, I have to wear gloves because the parts are so slippery.”

Mike Demke went on to say; “you have to hand it to Adam Rhoades and Kevin Watson. They put the power to the track. No computer program can do what they do. It’s a stomach feeling. Touching the ground, and tasting the track. You can't ask for anything better.”

That confidence, along with the continued winning effort, has set the course for the remainder of the 2012 NHRA racing season. With 801 Racing in their corner, Chris Demke and the Maddern Racing Team are looking to challenge for the world title in Top Alcohol Dragster, and having the time of their lives doing it.
