Blake Alexander Proud to Wheel Auto Service Plus Funny Car at Auto-Plus Nationals
MOHNTON, PA – Auto Service Plus Funny Car driver Blake Alexander will conclude his second full season at the event where his Pro 
career began, the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals. The race, contested October 4-6 at Maple Grove Raceway, is an important event for Alexander, who turned 25 last week.
“This race holds a lot of meaning for me. I’ve raced at this event several times, whether it was in my Exide Comp car or the Auto Service Plus Funny Car. The conditions always enable record-setting performances, so everyone gets excited for this race. It’s like the ultimate test before the end of the season,” Blake said.
“I’m proud to be driving the Auto Service Plus powered by Auto-Plus Funny Car for the third consecutive year going into the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals. Uni-Select and Auto-Plus have been a catalyst for my professional career.”
Alexander made his Funny Car debut at the 2011 Auto-Plus Nationals driving the Auto-Plus entry owned and tuned by nitro veteran Paul Smith. He qualified 14th and lost first round to eventual world champion Matt Hagan.
Despite the added pressure to perform in front of his sponsor’s employees and customers, Blake says he looks forward to the event every year because of the atmosphere and activities surrounding the event.
“I think there is a little more pressure to perform at this race. At the same time, it’s a relaxing atmosphere because there is so much going on, spending time with the Auto-Plus employees and customers. I enjoy spending time with the people. Hopefully at the end of it all we’ll have done well,” Blake added.
Funny Car qualifying at the 29th Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway begins at 2 PM on Friday, October 4. Eliminations are scheduled for 11 AM on Sunday.
