Lucas Oil Top Fuel pro Richie Crampton makes fast start to Countdown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHARLOTTE (Sept. 17) -- Richie Crampton and his Lucas Oil team need a good start
 to the Countdown to the Championship to increase their chances at making a run 
at the 2016 Top Fuel title.
So far, so good.
Crampton qualified No. 8 for the NHRA Carolina Nationals on Saturday in Charlotte,
and he made three solid passes during qualifying, setting up a promising race day.
"The car is running great," Crampton said. "It's the business end of the year, and
to put three good runs on the board is really what we wanted. We've got a pretty
 good outlook for race day with that kind of a car."
Crampton's top pass was 3.744 seconds at 320.51 mph to earn him a top-half starting
spot, but his Q1 run was the quickest of the session and his pass in Q3 was fifth-quickest.
"This Countdown gives (crew chief) Aaron Brooks and the Lucas Oil guys a second 
chance to shine," Crampton said. "We've got some work to do, but this is the right
time of the season to get hot, and we know we can do that."
The Countdown is NHRA's playoffs, a six-race stretch that concludes the season and
crowns champions in four professional classes. Charlotte is the first race of the
Countdown, and a good start could propel Crampton up from his current spot of ninth
in the Top Fuel standings.
"We've shown the last couple of years that we're capable of winning races," said
 Crampton, who won twice in his rookie season of 2014 and five times last year. 
"We haven't gone to the Winner's Circle in 2016 yet, but Charlotte would be a good
place to do that."
Crampton faces No. 9 qualifier Leah Pritchett in the first round Sunday. Her best
pass was 3.765 seconds at 323.74 mph.
Top Fuel eliminations start at noon, Sunday. FOX Sports 1 will broadcast all the
 elimination action from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., Sunday. (All times listed in ET).
