Leaving Texas with mixed emotions. We put career-best numbers on the board with a 4.038 at 311.22 mph in our Howards Cams/Competition Products Funny Car, but came up just short of a spot in Sunday’s field.
Bummed we won’t be racing tomorrow, but proud of this crew for all the work they’ve put into this car. The support from everyone this weekend has been incredible, and we appreciate every bit of it!
We’ll spend the offseason building on what we’ve learned and working toward a more consistent race car. See you back in Gainesville in 2027!

Even when I’m on vacation I end up fixing things for friends or family. NGK @ArtofFast is the only choice for me!! Fix it right the first time!!
More than racing. This one is personal.
I’m fortunate to live in two worlds that mean a lot to me—as a firefighter and as the driver of an NHRA Funny Car. No matter which uniform I’m wearing, I’ll always have a tremendous amount of respect for the men and women who answer the call every single day.
It was an honor to welcome members of Madison Fire-Rescue into our pit and give them a look inside my other world.
Recognizing first responders isn’t just something we do at the racetrack. It’s a big part of why I race and what I want this program to represent.
To my fellow firefighters, first responders and their families: this racing campaign is for you. Thank you for answering the call.

To say we’re disappointed would be an understatement. We struggled all weekend here in St. Louis. With some big changes to the car, we came in with a lot of unknowns. We were making progress, but ultimately ran out of qualifying sessions-and luck. Now we’ll service the car, get it ready for Dallas and focus on correcting our mistakes so we can come back stronger.
