Marinis, Serena will take over tuning responsibilities for Chad Green Funny Car
Chad Green Motorsports has announced that veteran crewmembers Dean Marinis and Joe Serena will be operating as crew chiefs on the Bond Coat Funny Car for the 2024 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing season.
Daniel Wilkerson, who tuned Green to a breakout season in 2023, will drive for his father, Tim, this season, creating the opportunity for Marinis and Serena.
Serena has more than a decade of experience working with Funny Cars under Tim Wilkerson and for CGM. Marrinis is a well-experienced drag racing competitor and Pro Modified crew chief who has been involved with CGM since the beginning of its nitro Funny Car journey.
Both played an essential role in the success that the team had last season, which included Green’s first Funny Car win and an impressive fifth-place championship finish, and they expect will continue to carry that momentum into 2024!
