Wilkerson and JCM Racing team owners Joe and Cathi Maynard will serve as co-owners of Wilkerson’s Funny Car operation.
Tim Wilkerson is now a teammate to eight-time Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher.
Both the Maynard family and SCAG Power Equipment have burst on the Camping World Drag Racing Series scene in the past few months and made a huge impact. So Tuesday’s announcement that the Springfield, Ill., privateer has merged his operation with that of Joe and Cathi Maynard’s JCM/DSR Racing team and acquired SCAG Power Equipment as his primary sponsor sounded like the perfect fit.
"We know what to do with the parts. If we have an issue, we're going to be okay. And that’s going to keep me from racing scared. We got a darn good car. If you can make it 10-percent better, we'll be in the top five easily.”“I would love to see double-ups, which you can't count on. But I think as a goal for the team, both teams, we've set two to two-and-a-half a race, which is a good way to stay in the points,” Maynard said.
