Ron Capps will run a special Valvoline paint scheme on the Dodge Charger Funny Car he will race at this weekend’s Torco Racing Fuels NHRA Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park.
For the second time this season, the Brut Dodge Charger will sport the red, white and blue theme of the team’s sponsor, representing Valvoline’s longtime association with the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.
“We are once again proud to feature Valvoline on one of the Don Schumacher Racing Funny Cars, ” said team owner Don Schumacher. “Valvoline is such an icon of the sport, and their products are unsurpassed. Our crew chiefs swear by their quality and attribute longer parts wear to these products. “
“Race mechanics and drivers trust Valvoline to provide superior performance, ” said John Stotz, director of brand marketing for Valvoline. “What we learn at the track also helps us develop even better motor oil for consumers. The Funny Car paint scheme signifies that not only is Valvoline ON Ron Capps’ car, Valvoline is IN the car protecting engine life and increasing performance, ” Stotz said.
Capps is currently fifth in the Countdown to Four point standings. This weekend’s final event of this phase of the new playoff system will determine the final four who will compete in the Countdown to One in the last two events of the season.
