Crew Chief Confidential: NHRA Heartland Nationals
Dave Connolly joined NHRA reporter Lewis Bloom via Skype in the Wally Parks NHRA Studio delivered by Papa John’s to talk about Tanner Gray’s recent Pro Stock win at the Menards NHRA Heartland Nationals presented by Minties in Topeka.
Connolly is an accomplished racer but has turned his talents to the crew chief role for Gray Motorsports. So far in 2017 the Gray Pro Stock teams account for three wins in eight events. Connolly talked about the natural skill of Tanner and the successful debut of a new Jerry Haas-built 2017 Camaro this past weekend.
Bloom once again caught up with the winning crew chief in Funny Car, Rahn Tobler, and in Top Fuel, Brian Corradi. Tobler won his 58th race as a nitro tuner this past weekend, while Corradi scored win No. 49.
