2014CI1_JF_3099

Veteran racer David Rampy secured his 4th NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series World Championship, locking up the Comp Eliminator title with 591 points.  The Piedmont, Ala., racer did so when neither of his closest competitors elected to make the cross county trip to California, and did not enter the season ending Auto Club NHRA Finals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.

Rampy started the year with two final rounds in his first four outings consisting of a national event win in Belle Rose, La., at the JEGS Cajun SPORTSnationals and a runner up at the South Georgia Motorsports Park divisional.  He followed with divisional wins at Atlanta Dragway and Bristol Dragway, and a win at the Summit Racing Motorsports Park national event in July.

The Championship is Rampy’s second in Comp which he also won back in 1990, to go along with his Super Gas Championship in 1989 and one in Super Comp in 1995.  Combined with his seven Lucas Oil Series Divisional Championships, he has 11 NHRA series titles to his credit and 86 NHRA national event wins putting him third on the all-time list for national wins in the Lucas Oil Series.
