Bartone Bros. Racing Wins Top Alcohol Funny Car
Hebron, Ohio, (July 15, 2024) – Bartone Bros. Racing won Top Alcohol Funny Car at the JEGS SPEEDWeek NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series run at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio Sunday.
Sean Bellemeur drove the Bartone Bros. Racing Top Alcohol Funny Car, known as the Pirate Ship, to the win over Chris Foster in the final. Bellemeur had lane choice based upon a semifinal bye run of 5.54 and 262 MPH. Bellemeur cut a light of .012 in the final and drove to a duplicate time of 5.54 and 262 MPH to take the Wally. The Killer B’s made consistent passes all weekend going down the track every run to gather valuable data for elimination Saturday.
“National Trail Raceway was absolutely mission accomplished,” Bellemeur said. “After Q1 we kind of saw what the racetrack was capable of and knowing that hotter weather was on the way Steve (Boggs, tuner) made the adjustments and the car was flawless the whole rest of the weekend. We felt like we had a good car coming in, so we were just trying to gauge what was happening with the weather and how close our competition was and try to make the right adjustments and decisions.
“We’ve had a great summer of racing in the state of Ohio and would love to closeout our Ohio swing with another win in Norwalk. With our wins we know our competition is just working harder to knock us off our little roll here, so we have to stay focused and keep the Pirate Ship on course and do what we do.”
