Madison, Prerace: Hailing from nearby Springfield, Ill. makes Funny Car pro, Tim Wilkerson the local favorite. Having extra family and friends around for support always makes Wilkerson feel good. With sponsor, Levi, Ray & Shoup, Inc. (LRS) being headquartered in Springfield also, the support for Wilkerson at this weekend’s O’Reilly NHRA Midwest Nationals will be inspiring.
Dick Levi and his staff will host one of the biggest three day parties held at Gateway International Raceway in order to cheer on Wilkerson in his beautiful LRS Funny Car. Over the course of the weekend, there will be over 800 LRS guests coming to the races to root for Wilkerson and his team. On Saturday, there will be a company outing with about 400 employees and their families, all cheering for Wilkerson. Besides that group, Levi has invited around 125 of his closest friends, including Springfield mayor, Tim Davlin.
