Pro Stock driver Gene Wilson, in a one-time effort driving under the Don Schumacher Racing umbrella, missed qualifying the Scott Geoffrion Tribute Mopar Dodge Stratus R/T car this weekend at the Mopar Mile-High Nationals His 7.153-second elapsed time pass at 192.33 mph placed him in the No. 17 spot, just one position from making the ultra-competitive 16-car NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series field.
"This was quite an occasion running the Geoffrion tribute car. I feel like we made pretty good runs this weekend, and we were out here to have a really fun time. I believe we performed fairly well, but this is a tough track to figure out. You really have to have your combination together," said Wilson, the NHRA Pro Stock Rookie of the Year in 2002.
Wilson will make a silent pass during tomorrow's opening ceremonies at Bandimere Speedway in honor of the late Mopar driver.
