Popeyes and Lucas Oil-Peppers Offshore Race Teams Win At Thunder On The Beach!
Lucas Oil-Peppers and Popeyes Offshore Race Teams made a winning combination as they took the checkered flag in the Supercat class at the Super Boat International's first annual Cocoa Beach race, Sunday August 22.
Driver Stan Ware of Popeyes Offshore Racing and throttleman Micheal Stancombe of Lucas Oil-Peppers Offshore Racing wowed the thousands of spectators on the beach and on the water with an average lap speed of 94.80 MPH. Ware took the turns in tight fashion with Stancombe throttling hard down the straightaways. The 36' Skater with twin 525 Mercury motors was a hit with fans in Race Village and at the Hot Pit craning in area.
Stancombe said " We had a winning combination and testing on Saturday was a dream, so we knew we were dialed in together to win the race, It was great to see our area Lucas Oil representative supporting us at the event; my father George and I appreciate everything that Lucas Oil does for the team". He went on to say "
Popeyes/ Lucas Oil tried to take the first overall position and chase down the Instigator boat lap after lap. We tried inside and outside lines. Stan drove a great race. And I look forward to future races with him. We could become unstoppable! ".
Ware was excited to showcase the crew's skills to the Popeyes team title sponsor, Secret of the Islands that distributed their newly launched beauty and industrial use product to the public.
