WORSHAM IS IMPROVING AS WESTERN SWING COMES TO END

SONOMA, CA – Del Worsham continued on in the second race of the Western Swing with his Lucas Oil Toyota Camry Funny Car. The 30th annual Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals at Sonoma Raceway saw the 39-time Funny Car winner race to the second round of eliminations.

“We’re excited to have pulled ourselves out of that first round losing streak and are looking forward to what the last race in the Western Swing has to bring us. We’re continuing to try to qualify for the best spot possible to hopefully make it easier for us to make it past the first round,” said Worsham.

The 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Funny Car champion qualified 11th before defeating Matt Hagan in the first round.


“We knew facing off against the guy who is second in points wouldn’t be easy. I’m really proud of my team and the work we were able to do to pull together and make it to a second round,” expressed Worsham. “I’m working with some of the best guys out there and getting to work with my dad again throughout this whole season has been a blast.”

In the second round Worsham lost to Jack Beckman after losing traction. Worsham was able to come 20 points closer to being in the Top 10, and is now only 29 points away from the final position for the NHRA play-offs.

“Coming that much closer to a spot in the Countdown is what we’re trying to focus on at the moment. We are so close to being in that Top 10, and I really believe our team can do it,” stated Worsham.

Worsham is looking forward to the 30th annual NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle, where he was the number one qualifier last season and had his career best time of 3.832 seconds.

“I have a good recent history at this race. The past two seasons I’ve been runner-up, and last year I set a personal best for myself. I can’t wait to get out there and improve upon all of that,” said Worsham.

The NHRA Northwest Nationals is set for August 4-6.
