Daniel Wilkerson and his SCAG Power Equipment Ford Mustang team are charged up and ready to roar at Pacific Raceways for this weekend’s Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals.
Despite coming off back-to-back Mission Foods #2Fast 2Tasty NHRA Challenge victories, Wilkerson is eager to rebound from a disappointing race day performance in Norwalk where he qualified No. 8 and had a first-round win against Rookie of the Year candidate Spencer Hyde only to red-light against veteran Cruz Pedregon in the quarterfinals.
“I got to do a little racing this weekend, so I could finally get over my crummy performance at Norwalk,” Wilkerson said. “Super excited to get back into our SCAG Power Equipment car under the lights and make some noise this weekend.”
Currently tied for sixth in points, Wilkerson has qualified in the top half of the field for three-consecutive races. He tallied two back-to-back semifinal appearances before his second-round exit in Norwalk. Last year at Pacific Raceways, Wilkerson qualified 8th but came up short to Pedregon in the first round.
“Our Mustang has been on kill the last three races,” Wilkerson added. “We’ve gotten the taste of victory a couple times now in the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty deal, and Tim has a dynamite tune-up for Seattle, so I smell a Wally coming this weekend!”
Competition at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Nationals at Pacific Raceways begins with four qualifying session Friday at 9:15 p.m. and Saturday at 12:30, 2:45 and 5:00 p.m. Eliminations are slated to begin Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Television coverage of the event will begin with qualifying shows Saturday at 10 p.m. ET and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1 (FS1) and conclude with an eliminations show Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX Broadcasting Network (FOX).
