Snyder Looking to Wrap-up Division Championship

Mick Snyder, driver of the Snyder Motorsports Top Alcohol Funny Car, will be in Columbus, Ohio this weekend to participate in the final Division 3 Lucas Oil Divisional Racing Series event. Snyder will also be racing his TORCO Racing Fuels sponsored entry in the rain delayed Bowling Green Divisional event that will pick up in the semi-final round.

“This could be a huge weekend for us,” said the current points leader and defending Division 3 champion. “If everything falls into place we have the possibility to wrap-up the championship here. Hopefully we will be able to make that happen.”

Snyder, who is currently #5 in the POWERade National points standings, has been to 3 straight final round appearances on the divisional level and is hoping to bring that number to 5 with a strong showing this weekend.

“This is the first time we have had to race 2 races at the same event since we began racing this class. It is going to be a little more hectic during Saturday qualifying because we will be using those runs to finish the Bowling Green race. I know this Team is up for it though. Each of them has given up so much of their time for this operation, they will do anything it takes to get this car in the winner’s circle again.”

As the last Division 3 event contested this year, it is also the last chance to earn points for the Spitzer Low Qualifier Series. Snyder, who has qualified number one in 4 out of the 5 Divisional contests this year, is at the top of the leader board going into the Columbus event.

“It is no secret that Mike and Karen and all the guys at the shop have been very instrumental in my career so far. We all cannot begin to thank them enough for their support throughout the years. Our division is so lucky to have them put up the money for the Low Qualifier Award. We would really love to be able to leave this event with the Spitzer Low Qualifier Series Championship in hand. To win this award would truly be a reflection of the Team and my crew chief. Dad has done a tremendous job this year and deserves the credit for the qualifying success that we have had.”

Qualifying for the Columbus event will begin on Friday evening at 5 PM. Saturday the semi-final and final round eliminations for Bowling Green will coincide with the 2nd and 3rd qualifying runs held at 1 and 5 PM, respectively. Eliminations for Columbus will be on Sunday with first round beginning at 1 PM.

As always, the Team would like to thank our major sponsor TORCO Racing Fuels and our associate sponsors Coan Converters, Design 500, Flatout Gaskets, Lencodrive Racing Transmissions, Long Printing, R & R Racing Products, Snyder Auto and Spitzer Race Cars for their continued support.
