Just like in stick and ball sports, racing teams are not just hibernating during the off-season. New ideas are being talked about and worked on in the shop. Some groups have new chassis or new clutch combinations; others may be adding a whole new team that will work and Crew Chief on the car.
Similar to the on-field sports, these drivers, along with their crews, get an opportunity to shake the rust off and get to test the whole package at the Pro Winter Warm-up at Palm Beach International Raceway.
March 5th – 7th.
NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car Teams will get an opportunity to work out the inactivity and get their teams into a rhythm. Doing so will enable them to hit the ground running at the 2021 season-opening Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida.
The NHRA Camping World Teams that are scheduled to participate in this session are as follows:
-Don Schumacher Racing (Ron Capps, Antron Brown, Leah Pruett, and Matt Hagan)
– Torrence Racing (Steve Torrence, Billy Torrence)
– Kalitta Motorsports (Doug Kalitta, J.R. Todd, and Shawn Langdon)
