DIXON ON TONIGHT'S RACE REPORTERS SHOW
Two-time NHRA Top Fuel champion and winner of last Sunday’s 50th Winternationals in Pomona, Larry Dixon, will be Newsmaker of the Week on The Race Reporters radio show, Wednesday, February 17, 7 p.m. ET, on www.PowerUpChannel.com.
After spending the first 14 years of his career driving for drag racing legend Don Prudhomme, Dixon moved to record-setting tuner Alan Johnson’s new Al-Anabi team last season. He won five times but lost the Top Fuel title by two points to Tony Schumacher. Including Pomona, he has 49 career national wins, with his championships coming in 2002 and 2003.
