Madness has taken over NHRA
Ok, so now I've heard three strange stories about changes for next season in terms of teams and drivers. The first, and probably strangest was that Mike Neff, Scelzi's old crew chief from Team DSR, will be driving Eric Medlen's funny car next year for Team Force. Now I read that David Powers fired Whit Bazemore and David Baca will be taking over his rail for the rest of the year. And now I read that Powers' is trying to get Antron Brown, the Pro Stock Motorcycle rider to take over the Top Fuel rail next season. That on top of the Army dropping it's bike sponsorships, and Torco dropping both it's Top Fuel rails.

Another change for next season is that Melanie Troxel will be racing against her husband, Tommy Johnson Jr., in Funny Car.

Yup, and JR Todd will be without a ride after this year and there's talk of him joining Team Bernstein, but no word if it will be as Brandon's teammate in Top Fuel, or Kenny's teammate in Funny Car, if it goes through.
And Shirley Muldowney will be coming back to Top Fuel, as a team owner. She'll be fielding one car to start with starting next year.
