Alan Bradshaw has big plans for 2009 and should they come to pass, he’ll be back behind the wheel of a Top Fuel dragster with some innovative marketing scenarios.

“At this point we are looking to bring in sponsorship to two or three teams,” Bradshaw explained. “If we get the right synergy between the companies we might put those together and compete for a 24-race schedule. If we have to we might look at a three-quarter schedule.” Alan Bradshaw has big plans for 2009 and should they come to pass, he’ll be back behind the wheel of a Top Fuel dragster with some innovative marketing scenarios.

Bradshaw has been on the sidelines since June when he resigned as the driver for Dexter Tuttle’s Top Fuel dragster. He’s missed the time driving but the off-time enabled him to catch up on other avenues.

“I’ve just been cracking some backs and trying to make others feel better,” said Bradshaw, a chiropractor from Odessa, Texas. “I’ve had a little time to do some bracket racing with my dragster and half of the fun is seeing how fast you can make it go.”

Bradshaw said he’s run some 5.30 eighth-mile laps at a little over 120 miles per hour.

“Compared to running Top Fuel, it’s nothing,” Bradshaw said. “It keeps me in a car and keeps me in my element. It keeps me sharp and I’m having fun with it.”
