Six-time NHRA Champion tells Speedfreaks.tv why he stepped away from driving again …
Kenny Bernstein said it was a personal thought process that inspired
him to step away from driving his Monster Energy drink Funny Car and
subsequently hiring veteran Funny Car driver Tommy Johnson, Jr.
That’s what the six-time NHRA POWERade World Champion told the
Speedfreaks in a recent interview. The full interview can be heard on

Even though Bernstein adamantly states in the interview that his
decision is not a retirement, he does add that the facts are the facts.
“We eliminated the word from our press release - retirement,” Bernstein
said. “We knew no one would believe it any way. I do feel that way this
minute and I don’t think that will change. There’s a big difference in
that feeling this time and that it has never been there before. There’s
that feeling and I’m going to be real frank about it, it’s kind of hard
to say it, but it’s the facts of life.
