  ATLANTA (May 3) – Lucas Oil Buell rider Hector Arana Sr. has been plenty fast in the two NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle races of 2012, but he doesn’t have much to show for it – yet.

ATLANTA (May 2) – Lucas Oil Buell rider Hector Arana Jr. carries a lot of confidence into this weekend’s Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway.

  HOUSTON (April 23) – Hector Arana Sr. is heading to this weekend’s O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Spring Nationals presented by Super Start Batteries in as close to a state of Zen as a Pro Stock Motorcycle rider gets.

  HOUSTON (April 23) – If there is one thing Lucas Oil Buell rider Hector Arana Jr. learned during the seven weeks since the last NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle races is that he doesn’t make a very good drag racing spectator. “It seems like last year since we’ve raced,” Arana said. “I went out to watch the national event in Las Vegas (which didn’t feature bikes) but being there just made me want to race that...
