CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racer Spotlight

Steve Lucas of Princeton, NC is this week's racer spotlight. He is 46 years old & has been racing for 25 years. His current racecar is a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro powered by a 350 CI engine built by Richard James & H&f performance. You can also find him behind the wheel of his other car, a black 1979 Chevrolet Malibu. Steve states that his most memorable win would be his Super Stock Win at Mopar Parts World Nationals in Norwalk, OH. Some of his accomplishments include: fromt page of Drag Review, divisional winner, runner up IHRA Division 9, CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Points Champion 2016, & KDS Motorsports track champion. Steve would like to give "Special Thanks" to his dad & mom as well as his brothers Jamie, Scott, & Corey. Also to his wife, Leigha, and step-daughter, Miss Olivia (who hopes to be in a junior dragster very soon)! Lastly he thanks his business/employees of A-1 Heating & Cooling, H&f performance, & Richard James. His primary sponsor is A-1 Heating & Cooling. He keeps it very short & sweet when it comes to one of his most epic fails & says "every round I lost". Steve took the 2nd place points position in 2021 finishing 35 points behind Raymond Roland.

Steve is an all-around good guy & one heck of a racer. He participates both in class racing & local bracket racing. This is normally a family affair for them. If Leigha & Olivia isn't with him at the track, his dad, & brothers normally accompany him. Be sure to stop by & tell Steve & his family hello next time you see them at the track. Our next race in June is at his home track, KDS Motorsports. See y'all at a track soon!
