GEICO/Lucas Oil Top Fuel driver Morgan Lucas won the NHRA vs. NASCAR portion of the fourth annual Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge Sunday with the best time of the weekend down Mount Van Hoevenberg - a stunning 47.78 mph run in one of Team USA's competition Bo-Dyn bobsleds.

Indianapolis, Indiana December 2008 - Indianapolis may be known to race fans for the Brickyard 500, but it is also home to the Colts National Football League (NFL) team, which boasts a newly built and named Lucas Oil Stadium. Forrest Lucas, President and CEO of Lucas Oil is an Indianapolis native and started his company there; so regardless that the company moved to California, Lucas still considers himself "from" Indiana.

When physicist Albert Einstein derived his famous systematic Theory of Relatively of E = mc2 equation, little did NHRA Top Fuel drag racers, Morgan Lucas and J.R. Todd have any idea that such a scientific fact would enable them to start 2009 literally “Full Throttle” as they gravitate towards the fourth annual Whelen Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge in Lake Placid’s Olympic Sports complex on January 2 – 4.

For Ricky Logan, winning a championship is one thing, but defending it with a follow-up win is reaching a whole new level. The Little Rock, Arkansas driver made it back to back championships for the coveted North Island Sprintcar Championship at Western Springs Speedway in New Zealand. Logan started off the night by going out last in the Lucas Oil number 10 and setting quick time by almost a half a second over the field. “My ability to draw poorly has stayed in tack,” Logan commented, “We had a really good lap for time trials and that is important to us as we don’t time much down here. The car was awesome and it was a great boost for our team.”
