Chuck Worsham has informed Torco’s CompetitionPlus.com that his team will field a second entry during two NHRA POWERade Series national events in 2008, although as of this date exactly which races is yet to be determined. 

The car will carry Shell Oil signage and colors for those outings, and will undoubtedly be the car that Jeff Arend drove regularly during the 2007 season.  Arend may remain with the team, and if he does will certainly be the driver for those two races.

Co-crew chief Chris Cunningham (pictured), who was rumored to be headed to Don Prudhomme’s still-alive Funny Car operation for next season, is apparently headed elsewhere, where he’s rumored to be partnered with a former championship-winning crew chief who enjoyed tremendous success in Top Fuel. 

Also experienced as a Funny Car tuner, our unnamed racing engineer is said to be heading up a brand new team that will result in its driver’s being a serious contender for the AAA Road to the Future award.
