James Day, the 32-year old diverse nitro pilot from Orange, Calif. will return to the NHRA Nitro Funny Car ranks behind the wheel of John Lindsay’s “Impulse” Funny Car with the support of CleanBoost® PERFORMANCE MOTOR OILS at this year’s Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals.

Day, a second-generation driver, has worked his way from being a crew member for veteran Funny Car drivers Jack Wyatt, Jerry Toliver, Del Worsham, and Gary Densham to becoming one of the more diverse nitro-pilots in drag racing today. Recently Day has piloted the "LA HOOKER" and  “Holy Toledo” Nostalgia Nitro Funny Cars and “The Foothill Flyer” Nostalgia Top Fuel Dragster. Day’s last NHRA National Event appearance was behind the wheel of the DLS Motorsports Top Fuel Records sponsored flopper at the 2008 NHRA Winternationals and he is anxiously awaiting returning to the NHRA.

Diverse Nitro Pilot to Drive for John Lindsay in Denver

“I can’t begin to describe how excited I am to race at a quality facility like Bandimere Speedway with a great group of guys at John Lindsay Racing,” noted Day, who works as an electrician during the work week. “We also would not be able to head out to “Thunder Mountain” without the support of Combustion Technologies USA and their CleanBoost® PERFORMANCE MOTOR OILS product line. We’ll be using their fuel treatment in our truck, the METTLE ARMOR Racing Oil in the Funny Car, and clean everything with their new NANO-SHEEN™ all weekend. It’s going to be a great weekend of racing in Denver and I am very appreciative to all those who have supported me over the years.”
