Snyder Reaches Final Round in Joliet

The Snyder Motorsports Top Alcohol Funny Car sponsored by TORCO Race Fuels was in Joliet, Illinois this past weekend to participate in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Divisional event at Route 66 Raceway.

The defending Division 3 Champion qualified #1 and claimed the Spitzer Enterprises qualifying money for the second event in a row with a 5.74 at 249.90 mph.

In first round, Snyder defeated his opponent running a 5.81 at 250.32 mph. With lane choice against their opponent in the second round, the Team again earned a victory running 5.82 at 245.67 mph, low E.T. of the round. Final round Snyder came up just short in a tight race running 5.78 at 250.60 mph.

“We have put a lot of time and effort into making this car run consistently faster. Right now we think we have it figured out. Hopefully, this was a turning point for us and things will continue to go our way in Bristol,” Snyder commented.

“Anytime you pull up to the line you want to win the race. We were up against arguably the best car and driver combination in the nation and it was a very good race. We just came up just a little short this time. The important thing is that we qualified great and made it to the final. This puts us in a much better position in the points standings.”

This weekend (July 22nd and 23rd) the TORCO Racing Fuels Top Alcohol Funny Car will head to Bristol, Tennessee to compete at Bristol Dragway in their fourth divisional event of the season.

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.
