TASCA AND MOTORCRAFT/QUICK LANE RACING QUALIFIES FIFTH IN LAS VEGAS
LAS VEGAS, NV – October 31, 2009 – Bob Tasca III and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing were looking forward to getting to Las Vegas this weekend in hopes of moving up the Funny Car points ladder.
In what he called his ‘Game 7,’ Tasca posted solid runs during four rounds of qualifying in Las Vegas. During the opening session, Tasca ran a 4.136 second pass at 307.02 miles per hour. Later on Friday afternoon during the second session, Tasca improved his ET with to 4.107 seconds at a speed of 307.02 miles per hour run.
At the conclusion of Friday, Tasca and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang team sat comfortably in the fifth qualifying position.
“I said coming into this race it was our ‘Game 7’ and a must win. But winning starts with qualifying and running well and we’re certainly on our way to that win with our qualifying efforts this weekend. Friday was a great day; we posted two 307-mile per hour runs, two of the fastest runs that I’ve ever been on in my career.”
During the third qualifying session, Tasca posted a time of 4.932 seconds at 160.82 miles per hour, after smoking the tires at the 500-foot marker.
“We were trying something on Saturday during the early session and smoked the tires,” said Tasca. “Even though the run was less than what we wanted, it is still good data, because we know how far we can push our Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang.”
In Tasca’s final pass of the weekend, he posted a 4.130 second pass at 303.98 miles per hour.
“In the night session, I was really surprised that the whole field didn’t run better,” said Tasca. “We’ve rated ourselves against the competition and there were only two cars on the property than ran quicker than us in the night session.”
Tasca is seeded fifth and will face Del Worsham in the opening round on Sunday.
“We’ve put ourselves in a great position to win this weekend, and that was something we wanted to do coming into this race,” said Tasca. “We’ve qualified well and we’ll have lane choice tomorrow. We’ve got a tough competitor in Del Worsham because he’s coming off a win last race. We’re ready to a great day on Sunday,” said Tasca.

TASCA AND MOTORCRAFT/QUICK LANE RACING TEAM LOOKING TO RUN THE TABLES IN LAS VEGAS
DEARBORN, MI – October 27, 2009 – A return trip to Las Vegas could only mean the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series is approaching the end of the season.
But with two races still remaining, Bob Tasca III and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team seek to build on its momentum from earlier in the season, perhaps with an assist from “Lady Luck.”
“I’m calling Las Vegas my ‘Game 7’,” said Tasca. “In order for our championship hopes to stay alive, we need to win or go to the final rounds at these next two races. It’s as simple as that. As far as my team is concerned, our focus has always been that you go into every race hoping to leave with the trophy. Vegas is one of the biggest races of the year and we’re going in with our championship hopes still alive.”
Not only is the points race close, but the overall level of competition will be closer since Las Vegas will have one of the largest Funny Car classes of the season, with 20 drivers entered. Tasca looks to log solid times during the qualifying sessions and secure a spot in the top-half of the ladder. In 23 races this season, Tasca has qualified in the top half of the field in 16 races.
“Since we’ll see one of the largest fields of Funny Cars of all season in Vegas, solid runs on Friday and Saturday are key to a successful weekend,” said Tasca. “If you make a mistake in qualifying, you just might miss the show and you’ll be sitting on the sidelines. We’re looking to maintain focus this weekend and run strong.”
In addition to the excitement on the race track, Tasca is looking forward to Ford being the Official Vehicle of NHRA. This weekend in Las Vegas marks the first official weekend of Ford’s new involvement with NHRA.
“I’m thrilled that Ford is the Official Vehicle of NHRA,” said Tasca. “To be in a competitive class like Funny Car, and have six Ford Mustangs that are capable of winning the championship, and now to compete in a series Ford supports, it really puts all the Ford teams, in a position to win,” said Tasca. “I’ve said it time and time again, I’m an all-Ford kid, in an-all Ford car, and now I can say I’m in an all-Ford series. It’s great to be a part of a company like Ford with brands like Motorcraft and Quick Lane. They’ve put me in the position to win, and now to be the series official sponsor, it puts all of us in a position to compete in one of the greatest racing platforms in the world.”

TASCA AND MOTORCRAFT/QUICK LANE RACING HAVE FAST AND SHORT WEEKEND IN RICHMOND
PETERSBURG, VA – October 11, 2009 – Bob Tasca III and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team posted some of their fastest times this weekend in Richmond, but fell just two-hundredths of a second short in the second round.
In each qualifying session, Tasca raced his Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang down the track and consistently improved on the elapsed time. Tasca went from an opening pass of 4.191 seconds at 296.9 miles per hour to a personal best of 4.079-second pass at 306.4 miles per hour.
“It was big weekend for us because we knew we had to go rounds,” said Tasca. “Our Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang kept getting faster during the qualifying rounds. I had the fastest run of my career on Saturday night with that 4.079-second run. We made great progress on our cool weather tune-up and we really had high hopes for Sunday.”
Tasca’s quickest pass on Saturday afternoon would seed him in the seventh position for Sunday’s elimination rounds. Tasca defeated Jim Head in the first pair on Sunday morning.
“We had a big match-up against Head in the first round,” said Tasca. It was great first round win and we were the third quickest of the session. Every round is big round at this point of the season.”
Tasca would face Ron Capps in the second round. Capps crossed the finish line 0.0296 seconds ahead of Tasca, approximately 13 feet.
“We were trying to run a 4.10 against Capps because we knew we had to go a 10 to win,” said Tasca. “Unfortunately, we came up a little short with a 4.14. It is tough to lose by two-hundredths and we’re you’re that close, it’s even tougher.”
During the two-week break, Tasca and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team will stay focused on the final two races of the season. Tasca and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team are still in the championship hunt sitting seventh in series standings.
“We’re just about 100 points out of first place with eight rounds to go in the season,” said Tasca. “We’re going into Las Vegas with a positive attitude, confidence and maybe a little bit of luck.”
Del Worsham defeated Tim Wilkerson in the final round to win Sunday’s NHRA Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park.

TASCA AND MOTORCRAFT/QUICK LANE RACING TEAM SEEK REDEMPTION IN RICHMOND
DEARBORN, MI – October 7, 2009 – One year ago, Bob Tasca III and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team were doing their least favorite thing on Richmond race day – not racing. The team looks to redeem itself this weekend not only to qualify for the race, but also to bring home a win.
“We’re focused on winning Richmond,” said Tasca. “This isn’t just about qualifying; this is about winning the race. In order for us to compete for this championship, we need to come out of Richmond with some round wins under our belt and set us up for Las Vegas and Pomona. Our goal and focus is to win, there is a little more pressure on us at Richmond to do just that.”
Tasca has also experienced success in Richmond. While working his way through the divisional ranks, Tasca was a two-time winner at the Virginia track.
“Richmond is an amazing place,” said Tasca. ”Richmond is the track last year where I ran my quickest ET to 1000 feet and did not qualify. We missed the field by a few thousandths of a second. I’m going back to Richmond with an attitude to improve to kind of redeem myself from last year’s DNQ.”
Tasca hopes to bring back the success he experienced at Richmond when he was running divisional races in an Alcohol Funny Car.
“In 2006 and 2007, I won at Richmond in my Alcohol Funny Car,” said Tasca. “I’ve experienced both the highs and lows of the track, and this weekend, I expect to return to the success I had in my alcohol car.”
Tasca and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team are focused on the task at hand and the bigger picture. With three races remaining in the Countdown to 1, Tasca and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team are still in contention for the championship title.
“We are 102 points out of first place, which is basically a race,” said Tasca. “We’d like to be closer to the top than we are, but truthfully, we’re not in a bad position. Richmond will be a pivotal race to keep our championship hopes alive.”
Richmond Race Notes
- Tasca did not qualify for last year’s event at Richmond.
- Tasca is sixth in points heading into the 22nd race of the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series. Tasca is 102 points behind leader Ashley Force Hood.

TASCA AND MOTORCRAFT/QUICK LANE RACING POST SOLID FIRST ROUND RUN BUT FALL SHORT IN MEMPHIS
Millington, TN – October 5, 2009 – Bob Tasca III and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing team hoped Monday eliminations would bring them luck after rain washed out all of Sunday’s activities at Memphis Motorsports Park.
After four solid qualifying efforts, Tasca raced his way into the sixth qualifying position. He piloted his Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang to a 4.115-second pass at 302.62 miles per hour.
NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing took to the track on Monday morning. The opening pair of Daniel Wilkerson and Ron Capps would greet the day with unexpected results.
“I’m glad Daniel is okay after hitting the wall at more than 200 miles an hour and was uninjured,” said Tasca on young Wilkerson’s first round accident. “Since he walked away from his race car, that speaks volumes to the engineering and additional safety systems that have been added to these cars over the last couple of years.”
Tasca would face technical alliance teammate Tim Wilkerson in the first round. In their eight previous meetings, Tasca has three wins against Wilkerson. Tasca took the early advantage but Wilkerson was the first Mustang to cross the finish line. Tasca posted a solid 4.158-second run at 301.33 miles per hour.
“We had a big time match-up against Tim Wilkerson on conditions that were really unknown because of the rain delay,” said Tasca. “Our Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang went out and ran a 4.15, which wasn’t exactly what we were shooting for, but I’ve got to give it to Tim because he made a great run.”
Tasca’s time was one of the top five times of the first round, but was just short in comparison to Wilkerson’s winning pass.

Tasca’s time was one of the top five times of the first round, but was just short in comparison to Wilkerson’s winning pass.
“To lose like we did is frustrating because we know we could have won against at least 12 other cars,” said Tasca. “It’s tough to lose and it’s even tougher to know that you would have defeated the majority of the cars in the first round. Unfortunately we raced our teammate and he had a better run.”
The NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series has a few days to rest, then back to business this weekend in Richmond, Virginia. Tasca’s first round loss places him sixth in the standings with three races remaining in the season.
“We’re only 102 points out of first place, which is basically a race,” said Tasca. “Our championship hopes are still alive and we look to do well in Richmond.”
Jeff Arend won the 22nd Annual O’Reilly Mid-South Nationals at Memphis Motorsports Park.
