Coming off a semifinal finish at the recent Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com in Pomona, the Jim Dunn Racing team is feeling confident as they head to the Menards NHRA Nationals presented by PetArmor in Topeka.

Jim Dunn Racing is looking forward to this weekend’s race in Topeka as Menards has done promotions with their team for close to a decade reaching back to the Grime Boss Funny Car and many promotions since then. Team manager Jon Dunn pointed out that the team’s relationship with Menards is as strong as ever. 

“We just ran the Sqwincher Funny Car in Norwalk in a promotion with Menards and have their associate logos on the car this weekend in Topeka,” he said. “And ‘Big Jim’ Dunn always enjoys signing autographs for Menards guests at the Topeka race.”

The team made consistent qualifying runs throughout NHRA’s Western Swing and turned that into multiple round-wins in Southern California. They will look to keep their momentum rolling when they arrive at Heartland Motorsports Park.

We’ve all heard the saying, “Racing is more fun when your winning,” and Dunn couldn’t agree more.  

“Pomona was a great weekend for our entire crew, but especially for my dad and our driver Jim Campbell, two Southern California natives who got to experience some round-wins at their home race.”

The team has DiPinto Logistics as its primary sponsor, along with increased presence from Lucas Oil.  The team has been expanding its relationship with Lucas Oil throughout the season, recently hosting pit-area hospitality at multiple events, and planning on a strong presence at the NHRA national event in Brainerd just one week after Topeka.
