Lucas Oil driver Richie Crampton hopes roller-coaster season heads to peak
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NORWALK, Ohio (June 20) -- With the break-in period of their new-to-them race car
behind them, Richie Crampton and the Lucas Oil Top Fuel dragster team look to expand
their results at this weekend's Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit
 Motorsports Park.
Crampton raced the car previously driven by Morgan Lucas Racing owner Morgan Lucas
-- MLR 001 -- at Bristol Dragway last weekend, and he had mixed results, qualifying
No. 10 but beating the higher-qualified Leah Pritchett in round one.
Crampton, though, knows the move to MLR 001 was the right one, and it's up to crew
chief Aaron Brooks and the Lucas Oil team to dial it in so he can go quicker and
 contend for race victories.
"We've got what we need to pick up where we left off here," Crampton said. "I think
the weather is going to be similar to what we saw in Bristol, Tenn., so I think 
we're looking good."
Crampton and his team aren't looking for redemption from the 2015 Norwalk race, 
where the Australian native had his first and only did-not-qualify of his career.
Instead, Crampton is simply looking to improve his race car's performance, which
 has been hit and miss in 2016.
"We've been struggling in general this year; it's no secret," Crampton said. "We
 had a decent weekend in Bristol before going to Norwalk, where unfortunately we
 DNQ'd last year, the only one in my short career."
Crampton doesn't have negative memories of Norwalk, either, simply because of the
2015 race. He has been coming to Norwalk for many years, first as a crewmember and
now as one of the elite drivers in Top Fuel.
"It's a great place to race, and it's always a good weekend there," Crampton said.
"It's close to home, and it's one I want to do well at. Hopefully, we'll get it 
turned around and carry some good momentum into that Norwalk race."
Crampton has two appearances before the race, one at a Walmart on 340 Westwind Drive
in Norwalk on Thursday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and another at Cedar Point amusement 
park in Sandusky, Ohio. NHRA Day at Cedar Point is slated from 10:30 a.m. to noon
on Thursday, and fans can meet some of their favorite NHRA drivers there.
"I'm really excited to get to Cedar Point with the other NHRA people and do some
 rides," Crampton said. "I'm into roller coasters, so it should be pretty fun."
Top Fuel qualifying sessions are scheduled for 5:45 and 8:30 p.m. ET, Friday, and
1:15 and 4 p.m., Saturday. Eliminations start at 11 a.m., Sunday. FOX Sports 1 will
air qualifying action from 8 to 9 p.m. ET, Friday, and 7 to 8 p.m., Saturday, and
eliminations from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., Sunday.
