Chris McGaha will return from a self-imposed break this weekend during the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio. 

McGaha sat out four races but didn't let his  Harlow Sammons Chevrolet Camaro collect dust. He remained busy devoting his time to breaking in the new D 2433Goodyear slicks (mandatory in Chicago), as well as working on the team's in-house engine program.

McGaha also went racing with his two children Mason and Berkley.

“My son Mason is almost old enough to race Pro Stock,” McGaha said. “It’s important that he gets seat time in any kind of racecar before that. Berkley [McGaha’s daughter] and Mason race Jr. Dragsters right now but Mason will move up to a big car soon. I’m out on the road at least 24 weekends a year racing Pro Stock and it doesn’t allow a lot of time to go racing with my kids. I made the decision to run a limited schedule this season to prepare for years to come racing with my family.”
 
The plan is to move Mason, 15, into Pro Stock once he turns 18. When the time comes, he will race the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro formerly campaigned by Mike Edwards. He turns 16 in December. 

The break did little to hurt McGaha as he remained in the top ten. 
 
“I’m really excited to be back racing in Norwalk,” he added. “I watched NHRA All Access every weekend, and I’m really motivated to come back out here and win again like we did a few months ago in Charlotte. Our team hopes we’ll be right back where we left off in our Harlow Sammons Chevrolet Camaro.”
