Bartone Bros. Racing enters the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals as the defending Top Alcohol Funny Car champions. The Killer B’s are riding high after a commanding victory in Brainerd just two weeks ago.
Across the Atlantic, Bartone Bros. Racing with Getspeed will compete in the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup at the famed Nürburgring F1 Circuit with the No. 3 Mercedes-AMG GT3. Drivers Anthony Bartone, Karol Basz, and Yannick Mettler will share driving duties.
At Indy, Sean Bellemeur keeps his competitive edge sharp between events by racing the family’s Bellemeur Motorsports “Easy Rider” altered hot rod.
“The Bellemeur Motorsports ‘Easy Rider’ altered is similar in a lot of ways to the ‘Pirate Ship’… just without the downforce,” Bellemeur said. “I have it set up as close to the TAFC car as possible. It really keeps me on my toes!”
The entire team is ready for The Big Go.
“As Clay Millican would say, I’m excited to ‘stomp on that loud pedal,’” Bellemeur said. “I feel like the car is really fast. The team is ready, and I’m ready. Indy is a statement race on top of being the biggest, toughest drag race in the world. The goal is clear: WIN.”
The Brainerd win also serves as a major motivator heading into Indy.
“Our performance there got us ready for this weekend. We will see many of the same cars, and we’ll have to be damn near perfect knowing what’s at stake and who is coming for us. That’s why I love this team. We’ve been here before. We know how to handle this race. We stick together and keep our eyes set on the task at hand. It all starts Friday with Q1.”
