Throughout his 30-plus year NHRA career as a crew chief and team manager, Lee Beard has been tackling and meeting challenges.
Beard, however, says his latest task was one of his most daunting of all.
Beard recently was in charge of putting together two complete Top Fuel dragster teams for the Yas Marina Curcuit, after it partnered with Don Schumacher Racing. Yas Marina is a spectacular motor racing circuit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The new Top Fuel teams with drivers Tommy Johnson Jr. and Hot Rod Fuller will be based in Abu Dhabi.
