 LRS became a sponsor of NHRA drag racer Tim Wilkerson’s funny car in 2000, when Wilkerson was entering 15 or 16 of the NHRA’s 23 races each year.Near the end of the 2002 season, LRS announced that it would increase its support and enable Wilkerson to compete in the tour’s full schedule.Since then, Wilkerson has won the US Nationals in Indianapolis in 2003 and finished second overall in 2008.
