Del Worsham is adamant that he can wait until next year.
The veteran driver of the CSK Auto Parts Funny Car was named driver of Alan Johnson’s Al-Anabi Funny Car last month beginning in 2009. He contends that wait isn’t overwhelming and while he works towards next year’s program, he’s firmly entrenched in fulfilling his obligations for 2008.
“We’re building cars and getting ready for next season,” Worsham said, admitting the reality of the opportunity hasn’t fully sunk in yet. Del Worsham is adamant that he can wait until next year.

“We’re building cars and getting ready for next season,” Worsham said, admitting the reality of the opportunity hasn’t fully sunk in yet.
“I don’t think I’ve hit that point yet. I don’t think until the last run at Pomona will I realize that I need to start thinking about next season.”
Next season will mark the first time in fifteen years that Worsham has been a hired driver. In 1993 and 1994, Worsham drove Roger Primm’s Top Fuel dragster.
He’s changed a lot since then.
“I was young then, I was just full of energy and craziness,” Worsham said. “This time around it will be different, but I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Worsham is adamant that being a team owner wasn’t a bad experience but he’s cautious to discover what being a hired driver will bring in this modern era.
“Being a team owner wasn’t that bad, especially when you’re doing well and having success,” Worsham said. “This was a good group of guys that I worked with. But who knows what kind of pressures and headaches this will bring up. It’s going to be fine and it will be a new challenge with a new outlook.”
