TEAM WILKERSON RACING
LEVI, RAY & SHOUP NHRA Nitro Funny Car

"Notes & Quotes" from Tim Wilkerson, driver of the Levi, Ray & Shoup Shelby Mustang Funny Car, after Friday's qualifying sessions at the 4-Wide Nationals in Charlotte.
Tim Wilkerson spun the tires just past half-track during the first qualifying session, running in Lane 4 at this special 4-wide event on Friday. With Saturday's weather looking threatening, most teams approached Q2 as potentially the final shot, and Wilk delivered with a strong 4.111 to land in the No. 6 spot overnight. The run was not without drama, as Melanie Troxel (who was running next to Wilk in Q2) had problems at half-track and made a hard move into Wilkerson's lane, luckily passing just behind him. Troxel was able to corral her mount before impacting the wall, but much breath was held for the split second when it appeared the two cars might come together.
