Maurice DuPont? Kevin McKenna on Twitter is reporting that he will be returning to Top Fuel after a 30 year absence. For anyone who doesn’t remember him, he drove the M.C. Hammer sponsored Hammertime dragster during the 92 season.

Wow, that would be cool. The hook never comes out.....

I believe I saw a post on FB that Maurice just went to Hawley's, so looks like he's on a path.

It’s official. He is returning this weekend driving Palmers Dragster sponsored by Floyd Mayweather.

Frank Hawley's FB page posted this yesterday.

Looking forward to seeing Maurice Racing Top Fuel soon!

Sounds like he had big plans long term. Hopefully the sponsor money can be found and we can get another full time car on tour.

Yes he did!

Not just Floyd Mayweather. A Kevin Hart company as an associate sponsor.

Well Kevin and Floyd certainly could fund a full pull effort without hurting themselves, that would be pretty cool.

I saw Maurice's interview during qualifying, and he said he's coming out for a full pull next year with 2 cars, the 2nd to be driven by his son. This is pretty huge news!

Second event of the season, and no two car team. Not even a hint of a single car team...

So far nothing,not on any entry lists

 

[Jer]

Guess he is a no show this year,no money team??

 

[Jack]

Maybe Floyd assumed that the check he had to write had one less zero than he thought?

 

[Jer]

Will the money team be out in 2024? I havent heard a peep.
