V. Gaines, Summit Southern Nationals Atlanta Dragway

After a two week break the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello series is back in full swing at Atlanta Dragway for the Summit Southern Nationals.

The break worked out well for V Gaines and his Kendall Motor Oil race team. “We debuted and brand new Lazarus built Dodge Dart in Houston” V tells us “The car and chassis is awesome, we just needed some time to look things over and make a few more runs on the car” The mini break in the NHRA schedule gave Clyde, Gary, and Rick the perfect opportunity to do just that.

V and the team started 2014 with a bang with a runner up finish at the first two events. “We didn’t lose anything after the second race it just seems like something in the car started to fight us a little bit” V Gaines. “Then we switched to a new chassis and in this game it’s all about timing. We have a great group of guys and Atlanta will be a fun race for the Kendall Motor Oil team”

The folks at Fineline Graphics in Denver took the opportunity over the break to give the Kendall Motor Oil team trailer a new look. It is an amazing looking rig complete with a big Chrome stripe. Look for more stories and images on the rig in the near future. On that note: Congrats to team drivers Gary and Rick. Gary won the first Truck Drivers Challenge in 2014 and Rick placed in the top half. Great guys all the way around.
