World-renowned custom hot rod builder and TV personality Chip Foose, Mac Tools and Kalitta Motorsports will once again bring their high-horsepower partnership to the NHRA POWERade Drag racing Series. The partnership will come together April 12-15, during the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals, at one of the NHRA’s premier quarter-mile facilities, The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

For the third time in the past two NHRA seasons, Foose and Foose Designs will team up with Mac Tools and Team Kalitta to renovate the body design of the 8,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragster. Driven by Doug Kalitta, the exclusively-designed Foose paint scheme will cover the 330-mph, nitro-fueled rocket on wheels that normally displays the Mac Tools branded “Big Red” design. In the automotive industry, the name Chip Foose is well known for his legendary one off automobiles like the Foose Coup and the Grandmaster. Chip is well on his way to being a legend on and off the track. “Chip is a great friend and partner” proclaims Tony Merritt, Sports Marketing Manager of Mac Tools, “and we are proud to have him as a part of our team.”

“Having Chip return to the race track with us is great for us and for our fans,” Doug Kalitta, Driver of the Foose custom designed dragster says. “Chip’s hot rods and designs are admired by people all over the world, so to have him join our team for these special paint schemes is truly an honor for me and our race team.”

Foose, Mac Tools and Kalitta initially teamed up in 2006 for special edition paint schemes at the spring Las Vegas NHRA event and again at the world’s most prestigious drag racing event; the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, Indiana. Mac Tools has introduced several Chip Foose themed products since the development of their partnership. Continuing the tradition on this first anniversary of the Chip Foose, Mac Tools and Kalitta Motorsports dragster partnership, Mac Tools is proud to introduce, simultaneously with this new Foose dragster, the coordinating new Chip Foose MB1350 1969 Chevy Camaro Toolbox. The triple palms, signature of Foose designs, are represented on both the dragster and the Tool Box while both sustain the classic Foose color scheme of orange, black and champagne.
