Del Worsham, owner/driver/tuner of the Checker, Schuck's, Kragen Funny Car, and Dexter Tuttle,
owner/tuner of the Top Fuel Dragster that will be driven by Alan
Bradshaw during the 2008 NHRA POWERade season, have announced they will
work together in '08, forming a racing alliance. The combined effort
will feature a mutual pit area, shared resources, and combined tuning
approaches, all of which are designed to provide each team
significantly more information and assets as they compete in two
different classes.
Worsham has owned and operated a two-car organization since 2000, with
Jeff Arend most recently driving the blue version of the Checker,
Schuck's, Kragen Funny Car. Although CSK Auto is moving forward into
its 12th consecutive season sponsoring Worsham, the "Official Auto
Parts Retailer" of the NHRA has announced it will focus its sponsor
resources and backing on just Worsham's red car in '08. Tuttle, who
led driver J.R. Todd to five race victories over the past two years,
has named Bradshaw to drive his Top Fuel machine next season, and the
team expects to attend at least 15 races, though they will continue to
pursue additional sponsor funding.
