~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contact: Rob Geiger (832) 971-9345 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Richie Crampton, Lucas Oil Top Fuel team working overtime to get results ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (June 11) -- Although positive results have been hard to find this year for Richie Crampton, the spirit and determination of the Lucas Oil Top Fuel race team is as strong as ever, says the most prolific Australian driver in NHRA history. "Having been a crewman for some 10 years before taking the seat in this race car, I know how frustrating it can be to work as hard as humanly possible but not get the results you were expecting," Crampton said. "It can really demoralize you if you let it, but this group, I'll tell you, there is no give-up in these guys at all. They want to get this thing straightened out more than anyone. "The thing that keeps us going is our past successes. We didn't win five races last year and finish third in the world by mistake. We earned everything we got, and although we haven't had the same success to date this year, we know it's coming. We just need to keep the mood up and carry on." Crampton qualified ninth for this weekend's 47th annual NHRA Summernationals with a best pass of 3.821 seconds at 307.02 mph down Old Bridge Township Raceway Park. He'll try to add to his season total of six elimination round-wins Sunday against Round 1 foe J.R. Todd, who qualified eighth overall with a 3.818 at 278.29 mph. "At some point we'll find a tune-up the car likes and we'll get the consistency we need," Crampton said. "Bit by bit, we're closing in on it. I'm proud of the guys and the work they're putting in day after day. I suffer right there with them, and I know Aaron (Brooks, crew chief) is doing everything he can to get us going again. "Drag racing is a sport full of peaks and valleys and right now we're in a valley, but we will get ourselves out of this." FOX Sports 1 will carry Friday and Saturday's qualifying action from 9 to 11 a.m., Sunday. Eliminations will air from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., Sunday.
