There probably are few bigger success stories in NHRA Drag Racing than that of Forrest Lucas and his Corona, Calif.-based Lucas Oil Products Company. In this issue, Lucas talks about his company's growth, its successes with NHRA, his dedication to the sport and its people, the driving careers of his wife Charlotte and son Morgan, and the future of Lucas Oil Products.
