Top Fuel racer Morgan Lucas established a set of goals for his team at the start of the 2009 season. He's won races and garnered a spot in the Countdown to 1. Now it is time to go after a new goal. One that was more a dream than a goal back in January.

Lucas wants a Full Throttle Drag Racing world championship.

"Our goals for this season were pretty simple: We wanted to win a few races, get both team cars in the Countdown to 1, and have as much fun as possible,” said Lucas. “We've managed to do all three things and we couldn't be happier. To me that makes us a little more dangerous right now because we're not putting any pressure on ourselves."

"The guys have given me a great race car and Jimmy's been aggressive," said Lucas, who also owns rookie Shawn Langdon's Lucas Oil/Dixie Chopper dragster. "If we can minimize our mistakes and keep the right mindset, we can really surprise some people down the stretch here."
