Never Rest

Comp racer Joe Arrowsmith was presented with the Holley EFI Never Rest Award at the NHRA Brainerd Nationals.

The team’s semi-truck tractor was totaled in an accident after the Testo NHRA Chesapeake SPORTSnationals, so the team bought a used truck that ended up in and out of the shop the two weeks leading up to Brainerd with transmission issues.

The team still managed to get it to Brainerd International Raceway the Wednesday night before the double divisional with just enough wiring for turn signals and running lights.
