I’ve never worked for a better guy as far as letting you go and do what you need to do, but Don plays hardball. “For 52 years Don treated me good, and I have nothing bad to say about him. “I understand pay cuts, but not to the level he proposed, so it was just best that we let it end. He wanted to pay me for that position, and I wasn’t interested,” McCulloch told National Dragster. “The title – assistant crew chief – doesn’t mean anything to me. McCulloch, whose legacy has been carried on by son Jason (who crewed Larry Dixon’s Top Fuel championship run last season), stepped away from the sport rather than take a sizeable pay cut to stay with the Schumacher camp. Team owner Don Schumacher removed McCulloch from that position in 2010. 19 among the best in NHRA history during its golden anniversary in 2001, recorded 22 national-events wins in his driving career (18 in Funny Car and four in Top Fuel dragster) and 27 as a crew chief, 16 with Ron Capps.

McCulloch, perhaps the greatest driver in NHRA history not to win a championship, cited a need to take care of his family, notably wife Linda, in leaving Indianapolis to settle in Oakhurst, in the central part of the state. Until then, there always will be that disconnect.ģ Ed ‘The Ace’ McCulloch, one of the most widely respected people in drag racing, has called it a career after 23 years behind the wheel and another 16 as a crew chief. The sanctioning body needs to come up with a way in which fans can interact with drivers, much like NHRA.

NASCAR has deemed itself fan-friendly, but that’s not quite true with a fence between the drivers and the ones paying the billsand the drivers. Kansas will endure the same problem all tracks with two dates face in trying to move added inventory. Attendance wasn’t the issue in granting Kansas a second date at Auto Club Speedway’s expense, it was a casino. It’s all about brand identity, and really is a good rule.Ī sellout at the second Kansas race. Brad Keselowski won the title in 2010, but under the new rules will compete only for the Cup title in 2011.

It’s new in the Cup and Nationwide series this year and has crew chiefs scrambling to continue 12- and 13-second pit stops a man down. It probably won’t hit home until late in the season, when the Chase starts at Chicagoland, which was awarded Fontana’s Chase race.Ī catch-can man.
Here’s what you will not see this NASCAR season:Ī second race at Auto Club Speedway. The twin qualifying races are in a week, and the season-opening race is 10 days away. “My son’s favorite truck is Brutus,” Paukin said, “but he does tell me I’m second.”Ģ Wasn’t it just three months ago when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season ended in Homestead, Fla.? Isn’t it just two days from the first event of the 2011 season at Daytona?īelieve it or not, the Bud Shootout is set for Saturday, followed Sunday by qualifying for the Daytona 500.

Two years ago after winning in San Antonio, Paukin used a phrase that was mild in comparison to what other pro athletes sometimes mutter after a game, but still not family friendly. I had a Facebook message from a fan who said his young son had a great time, and that meant a lot to me, since I have a five-year-old son.”
“I feel as though I’m performing for that five-year-old fan,” said Charlie Paukin, who’ll drive Grave Digger in Anaheim and next Saturday at Dodger Stadium. More often than not, there are at least two generations of fans in attendance. Unlike the Supercross events at the stadium – which can, and do, get rowdy – Monster Trucks promote an atmosphere wherein which all members of the family can enjoy the action. The ticket for the small fan is $10, but promoter Feld Motorsports more than makes up for it by moving loads of merchandise, even in this economy įamily fun. Of the 45,000 expected to attend, nearly half will be children under 12. Unlike NASCAR and other motorsports disciplines searching for future generations of fans, Monster Trucks seem to have a built-in future.
