"We're very proud to be involved with NHRA. We've tried to work in conjunction with them rather than going and doing our own thing," Charlotte Lucas said.
Lucas said she and husband Forrest Lucas, who own sponsor Lucas Oil, said. "We enjoy the divisional races. That's where we're going to get the next generation of pros."
