War Eagle Racing Team Wins Nitro Jam Trophy in Utah

Tag:

Salt Lake City, UT – James Day welcomed Dale Pulde back to the racetrack with a win at Rocky Mountain Raceway’s IHRA Nitro Jam event this past weekend. Winning the Iron Man was not an easy task, or forgotten any time soon by those who were there.

Confronted with a tricky race surface, Day had some driving to do. Right out of the box, the War Eagle Nostalgia Funny Car, piloted by James Day, put down a sub five second run to propel them in to the feature event of the night. In the final, the CleanBoost Oil sponsored team defeated a tough opponent in Tim Boychuk with a 5.922 @237.59 to take the win.

“It was sliding around out there, and when I shifted into high gear it headed to the wall.” said Day. “I wrenched it back and took the win light. It was a great weekend.”

When James Day saw the smile on the face of Dale Pulde at the end of the track it made a huge impact. As a child he told his Dad he wanted to be a Funny Car driver. His father said, “Look to the best - Dale Pulde.”

Now, not only has Day met his hero, he has had the chance to drive and help him win. Dreams of a child, a father, and a Drag Racing Legend all came together at a simple racetrack in the mountains of Utah.
