Ford Racing Clinches NHRA Win in Topeka

Bob Tasca III, alongside the Ford Racing team, demonstrated remarkable prowess at the 2023 NHRA season, securing another victory at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas. Known as Motorcraft/Quick Lane Racing, the team has been on a winning streak since the previous year, with notable triumphs at the Sonoma Nationals and NHRA Brainerd Nationals. Tasca III’s Ford Mustang Funny Car claimed victory in the Nitro Funny Car class, showcasing outstanding performance and precision on the track.

Facing stiff competition from the likes of Matt Hagan, Tasca III showcased exceptional skill and determination as he clinched the win at Heartland Motorsports Park. Despite Hagan’s strong start, Tasca III managed to outmaneuver him by a mere eight-hundredths of a second, clocking in at 3.885 seconds with a speed of 332.26 miles-per-hour. This win marked a significant achievement for Tasca III, especially after his notable qualifications in Denver, Seattle, and Sonoma earlier in the season.

In a post-race statement, Tasca III expressed his emotional response to the victory, emphasizing the hard work put in by the team throughout the year. He acknowledged the support from Todd Okuhara, Aaron Brooks, and the entire Ford community, highlighting his upcoming appearance at a Ford dealer meeting in Vegas to share the triumph with enthusiasts and dealers alike. This win not only solidifies Tasca III’s position as a formidable contender in the NHRA circuit but also underscores the exceptional performance of Ford Motor Company in the world of drag racing.
