Three-time NHRA Funny Car champion: 'We did something pretty cool.'
Probably the best advice, if I was giving myself advice a year ago when I was getting ready to become an NHRA team owner/driver, would be to make sure not to forget that you're only as good as the race car and the people around you.
You can take a Mario Andretti and put him in a 10th-place car and there were times in his career that he would take that 10th-place car and finish top five, if not a win. Same thing with Dale Earnhardt Sr. I mean just looking back, there are only a few people who could do that. In drag racing, though, the car is set up to be what it is.And we as drivers in nitro cars, we can't make that car go any better than what it's set up.
I was lucky to have crew chiefs Guido Antonelli and John Medlen because they do so much more besides just tune a race car. And having great people around, obviously to help run the business part, has been awesome. But absolutely, as far as NHRA drag racing, you've got to have a great crew and a great crew chief. That is first and foremost.
