After the tragic death of their teammate and family member, NHRA Funny Car
driver Scott Kalitta, last Saturday, the remaining Kalitta Motorsports drivers,
Doug Kalitta, Dave Grubnic, and Hillary Will, and their teams will compete this
weekend, June 26-29, at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit
Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
"We're a race team, and that's what we do," Jim Oberhofer, Kalitta
Motorsports general manager, said. "Scott was a drag racer to the core, and he
would want us to compete in Norwalk, so we’re going to go racing this weekend.
Our thoughts will of course be with his wife Kathy and his sons Corey and Colin
and Connie, but we feel it’s the right thing to do.”
