Another Week, Another Race for Lee and NHRA Full Throttle Series

In the midst of its longest continuous stretch of racing this season, the NHRA Full Throttle Series sets its sights on the hills of Tennessee for this weekend’s 10th annual NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway, the third of four consecutive race weekends for the straight-line series. Funny Car driver Paul Lee doesn’t seem to mind getting behind the wheel of the CANIDAE/Lucas Oil/WileyX for a race every weekend in June, especially when one of them was the just-completed NHRA SuperNationals at his home track in Englishtown, N.J. Now the New Jersey-born Lee and his Jim Dunn Racing teammates are geared up for the Bruton Smith-owned quarter-mile in “Thunder Valley.”

“It’s kind of hard on the crews, but I don’t mind having these races back to back to back,” Lee said. “In fact, it kind of keeps you sharp in the car. If we’re off a couple of three weeks I wouldn’t say you get rusty, but it can take a pass or two to shake the cobwebs off. It’s nice to know you’re going to be back in the car in five days after a race when we... (read more)

“I’m a New Jersey native so not only is Englishtown my home track, it’s my favorite track,” Lee said. “I pretty much grew up racing there. I got my first racing license there, I got my Alcohol Funny Car license there, and I have more laps at Englishtown than at any other drag strip. That is truly my home track and definitely my favorite place in the whole world. I’m looking forward to getting back there... (read more)
