NHRA® Team Report
NHRA SpringNationals – Houston, Texas
Pre-Race Report
Cruz Pedregon and the Snap-on® "Makers and Fixers" Dodge® SRT® Hellcat® are sitting in fourth place in Funny Car standings as the team heads to Houston Raceway Park for the track's final race as part of the NHRA circuit. It will be a memorable one for Cruz who had his first nitro Funny Car win in Houston as a rookie in 1992, when he set a national record for the fastest elapsed time in Funny Car history. He claimed another Funny Car victory in Houston in 2013.
"Houston fans and the track hold lots of great memories for me and we'll miss the fast runs and great crowds here," says Cruz. "We've got the Snap-on Dodge prepped and ready to deliver some memory-making drag racing and show our appreciation and respect for all the good times racers have had here over the track's 35 years."
Cruz says the team has been rebuilding and restocking inventory since the last race and is planning on a "win" as a fitting farewell to Houston. For the race, the Snap-on Dodge will once again sport the car body that highlights primary sponsor Snap-on's call to the Makers and Fixers to share their stories at makersandfixers.com.
