Las Vegas, NV –   Chris Demke, driver of the Maddern Racing Top Alcohol Dragster finished off their weekend in the Winner’s circle last weekend at the 11th Annual BIG O Tires NHRA National Event in Las Vegas.  This marks the teams 2nd National event win in 2012 and their 4th Event Win for the year.

“Since we are in the running for the Division 7 Lucas Oil Top Alcohol Dragster Championship“ noted Demke, “we really wanted to utilize the National Event for testing to make sure the dragster was ready for the this weekends upcoming event.

“We were consistent all weekend, no tire shake, no carnage, just good passes every lap.  We ran a softer tune up on Friday for the first two qualifiers just to make sure we had everything back in order after running Reynolds, Georgia a few weeks before.  Saturday, we tuned her up and began eliminations from the #4 qualifying position.

“Everything just came together in the time that we needed it to, good performance, good team work, and I was on my game driving.  It’s what we all strive for and it’s a great feeling to have earned another win at the end of the 2012 Season.”

The Peen Rite/Clean Boost Performance Oil Team remains in the fifth position within the Lucas Oil National Championship Points.
