Famed nitro tuner Richard Hogan has been hired to be the co-crew chief on the
8,000-horspower “Big Red” Mac Tools Top Fuel dragster, driven by Doug Kalitta in
the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series. Hogan will join co-crew chief Jon
Oberhofer to equally share the tuning responsibilities on 335-mph race car that
runs out of the Kalitta Motorsports stable, owned by drag racing icon Connie
“the Bounty Hunter” Kalitta.
“It’s an honor to be given this opportunity at Kalitta Motorsports,” Hogan, a
resident of Ennis, Mont., said. “This organization is one of the best in the
history of drag racing. I’m very excited to see what the future holds for both
of us.”
