NHRA rookie Wayne Newby will lead Rapisarda Autosport International at the 61st annual Chevrolet Performance U.S Nationals at Indianapolis from September 2-7.
“When I made my debut with Rapisarda Autosport International in Sydney last year I had no idea that nine months later I would be racing at the biggest drag event on the NHRA calendar – Indy,” said Newby.
“I can’t thank Santo and the family, Santino, Santo Jnr. and Gianna enough for giving me the chance to fulfill a lifetime ambition.”
“After racing at Brainerd two weeks ago we got back to the workshop and have been busy prepping the car, stocking up on spare parts and getting organized for Indy. We did go testing last week and ran a 3.82/309 mph – which was a solid effort. The next couple of days we will be setting up the trailer at the track and getting organized for our first of five qualifiers late on Friday afternoon.”
