Arizona race fans have been cheering on the Maroney name since the 1970s when Jack Maroney fielded Funny Car at local dragstrips, but their new nitro hero is his son, Jim Maroney, who is trying to make a big impression with Phoenix friends, family, and fans with his Gilbert, Ariz.-based American Flow Tech Top Fueler.

Chad Green’s transformation from full-time Pro Mod racer to full-time Funny Car racer is now complete as the Midland, Texas-based racer has committed to a full season on the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series tour.

When Chris McGaha made his Pro Stock debut at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in 2011, he could not have fully envisioned how the years ahead would unfold. He did, however, have an inkling that he needed a second car, and he always knew that it would be his son, Mason, at the wheel.
