Lee Not Trying to be Spoiler in Countdown

Contrary to his recent on-track exploits, Paul Lee isn’t trying to play the roll of spoiler and upset anybody’s quest for this year’s Full Throttle Series Funny Car championship as he prepares for this weekend’s 25th annual O’Reilly Super Start Batteries Fall Nationals at the Texas Motorplex located 40 miles south of downtown Dallas.

But the driver of the CANIDAE Pet Foods/Lucas Oil/WileyX/Kymco Chevy has enjoyed a late-season surge that has seen him advance to three consecutive quarterfinals (Brainerd, Indy, Charlotte), and through the first two of six races of the playoffs in the Countdown to the Championship the 52-year-old Lee has scored more points than five of the 10 qualifiers for the Countdown.

Lee Looks for Streak of Strong Runs to Continue at Charlotte

After a quarterfinals showing two weeks ago at the NHRA Full Throttle Series’ biggest race of the year, the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, Paul Lee is confident the Jim Dunn Racing team will continue its late-season surge at this weekend’s third annual O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Nationals at zMAX Dragway.  The New Jersey native has actually driven the CANIDAE Pet Foods/Lucas Oil/WileyX Chevy to back-to-back quarterfinals (Brainerd, Indy) and sees no reason that trend can’t continue in Charlotte.

“That was by far the best U.S. Nationals I’ve ever been a part of,” Lee said.  “I had a career-best run in qualifying on Saturday and then bettered that in our first-round win over Robert (Hight).  Not only did the CANIDAE car perform well on the track, but the weather was almost perfect and the crowds were great.  It was just an awesome weekend.” (read more)

Canidae Racing Looks to Take on Las Vegas Terrible's Primm 300

After a rough and tumble Vegas to Reno race only two short weeks ago, the Canidae Off Road Race Team has had their work cut out for them as the start of the Primm 300 draws near.

The truck needed major repairs after the last event and the Canidae crew, with expert assistance from Geiser Bros. Design and Development, has been working around the clock to make it to the start line of this prestigious event. Sitting 17th place in the 2010 SCORE Championship (out of 46) with two races left, the team needs all the points they can get to keep the battle close. Just making it to the race will be a major victory for the team, but waiting for them is 300 miles of relentless Nevada terrain that will surely separate the men from the boys. If any team is up to the task, it is the Canidae Racing Team.

Team Canidae Racing would like to acknowledge and thank Geiser Brothers for dropping everything they were doing and helping Team Canidae get the race truck well prepared for Primm in only four days.

The race starts at 1:00 PM on September 11, 2010 and fans can follow the team's progress in real time by visiting the Canidae Racing and Ion Earth websites. (read more)
