Chad Green will still have a Tim Wilkerson Racing connection; he will just have two crew chiefs instead of one in 2024. Dean Marinis and Joe Serena will serve as co-crew chiefs for Green with the announcement that Daniel Wilkerson will now drive the Funny car formerly piloted by his father, Tim. Green will continue to rent space in Wilkerson’s shop.
Green has always been considered an independent team, and his plans will remain the same in 2024.
Green said Marinis and Serena worked closely with Wilkerson, so they expect the move to be a seamless transition. Marinis worked on Green’s Pro Modified team, and Serena had worked with Wilkerson prior to Green’s arrival.
“I do expect it to be that way,” Green said. “I am very excited. I am looking forward to it. This is going to be a great year, and it’s going to be an incredible start to the season when we get to Bradenton and then Gainesville.”
Green is coming off a career-best season where he won a national event (NHRA Finals) in three finals, as well as a #2Fast2Tasty Challenge, and qualified No. 1 in one race. He amassed a 26-20 win-loss record, which included seven semi-final finishes.
