CARQUEST AUTO PARTS WINTERNATIONALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Bruce Dillashaw
"There should be more multi-car teams, if you can afford it, but a lot of people can't make a multi-car team work." – winner Scott Kalitta, who credited his success to dad Connie's three-car team format (page 18)

FUNNY CAR by Steve Waldron
"The satisfaction of this win is greater than any win I've ever had. It's great to show them all that we could do it. Once we got the breaks going our way, it happened." – Tommy Johnson Jr. (page 20)

PLUS:

  • Tech: Leakdown and Compression Testing – To avoid wasting even one run on engine diagnostics, you need a variety of tools beyond wrenches and screwdrivers. Racetrack mechanics need gauges or testers, like the leakdown and compression testers, to help diagnose engine problems quickly or monitor overall running condition. Evan J. Smith walks you through it. (page 53)
  • First Person: On The Run with Del Worsham – On the eve of his sponsor's race in Phoenix, Worsham says, "I've had a feeling since preseason testing that 2005 is going to be a year unlike any other." Find out why. (page 34)
  • Competition: Southeast Division Lucas Oil Series Opener – Longtime racer and former track operator Jerry Barker has had some memorable weekends at the races, but few can compare to the one he enjoyed at Florida's Bradenton Motorsports Park. By Kevin McKenna. (page 38)
