that's excellent. He's a driver that always deserves to be out there. maybe Lance Larson and Mike Klober reunite? Other than that I can't think of a possible tuner.

They will most likely be running with co-crew chiefs Mike Domalaga and Justin Crosslin calling the shots like last year.

never heard of them actually. I wonder if they got 3.80's in them. 3.90's are only good for a top ten not top 5
If they can run 90s,they will be in the show and have something to work with.

They're both young guns that were previously understudies of high profile crew chiefs, but they're now getting their chance to call the shots while teaming up with one another. In the two races that they attended last year, they got Clay's car to run 3.86 in eliminations in their first race and they got Clay to qualify #6 (3.87) in their second race.
Just give them some time to get more acclimated with the car and working with one another and they could be a very formidable duo in the coming years.

much agreed, but competition is so tough that it's hard to say if a 90 will get you into round 2 if you qualify mid pack. I don't see a 90's top fuel team winning a race without being able to at least run around an 87. Vandergriff sure must have felt the way i do when he hired hogan as low 90's were not cuttin it. Morgan Lucas felt the same way and instead of mid to high 80's they got a low to mid 80's car same with Brandon Bernstein. Morgan and Brandon's slight boost in performance will open alot more doors.
If your a top fuel team running for the championship I feel if you can't break into the 3.7 barrier you dont have a shot at the championship. In FC: I feel you need to at least be able to crack a .07 to be able to win the championship. To win a race you have to run at least a 12 when comp's in the single digits to have a shot

For those on Twitter, it appears Clay will announce it in 30 minutes.

While the wait wasn't nearly is long as last year, it's great to see Clay back out on the NHRA tour again. Although this was a promo video for a race last year, in the spirit of the announcement, I think this is still worth posting again:

More details on CompPlus...
MILLICAN, MPE INK DEAL WITH PARTS PLUS
This was an interesting line in the above article...
"“For 12 events this season, Parts Plus will team with MPE Motorsports as the primary sponsor of Clay Millican, the winningest Top Fuel driver in the country,” said Mike Lambert, president of Automotive Distribution Network."
Wonder how they came up with that statement? They must have looked at specific years?
Regardless, I'm a Clay fan and hope they do well! Nice to see him back out there!
