Quotable:
“Seattle here we come. We’re the winningest Top Fuel team at that track. We won there in 2022, and although I don’t feel like we’re the old freight train (former NHRA announcer) Bob Frey used to call us, I definitely feel like we’re steadily adding coal. Our team tested over the break between Seattle and Norwalk and it went well. Looking forward to getting to Seattle and adding to the momentum.”
