New Tuner for Kalitta SealMaster Dragster

[MHayes]

So I was just watching this Richie Crampton video from Las Vegas on Facebook, and he mentioned Donnie Bender was making the tuning calls on the SealMaster dragster. I found that to be very interesting since I had heard nothing about a crew chief change on that car. He mentions it at the 2:00 mark in the video.

Hmm what happened to flynn

Rob Flynn is on Langdon's dragster. The SealMaster dragster was usually Connie's toy, so it's probably Bender just doing what Connie tells him to do

Connie- " Just don't F up!"

Donnie has been over there for a few races now.

For the fans that didn't realize just how big Connie Kalitta is in the Air Cargo business here is a link to a pretty good youtube video that you might enjoy.

I work for an aviation company and I can tell you it's truly inspiring to see someone like Connie that not only talks the talk but walks the walk. That man is a true American legend in so many ways.

Bender has worked for them before. He worked on the MGM Top Fueler when Doug moved into (Connie's car) from the Sprint Car. I can't remember now; but he may have even worked with LaHaie's bunch when Scott drove the American International Airways dragster too.
