Morgan Lucas GEICO/Lucas Oil dragster

Indianapolis, Monday:  It didn’t quite turn out to be the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals that Morgan Lucas had hoped for as he was defeated by Cory McClenathan, on a slight hole-shot.  Both cars left with nearly identical reaction times (.069 - .075), but at the end of the quarter-mile sprint, Lucas was in arrears by the slim margin of only five-thousandths of a second (.005). 

Lucas ran an elapsed time of 4.620 seconds, 326.71 mph to Cory Mac’s matching run of 4.621 seconds, 321.58 mph. 

The Brownsburg, Ind. resident recorded a time of 4.537 seconds, 325.45 mph from his Saturday night run to qualify in the No. 8 position.

He remains in the No. 15 slot in the NHRA POWERade Top Fuel points standings with 549 after the completion of 18 of 23 events.
