driver of the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang, are two of the five
nominees for Rookie-of-the-Year honors in the NHRA Funny Car class.

talk about the challenges they’ve faced this season and what each of
them has learned.
MIKE NEFF – Old Spice Ford Mustang –
ON BEING UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.
“I
would be very honored and proud to accomplish that. That’s a great
award. Robert [Hight] has won it and Ashley [Force] has won it. I just
think it’s a neat accomplishment if that would be something that we
could do. I look at it that it’s a team effort, so it’s not just about
me but it’s about the team. I feel like the team has as much to do with
it as I do, really. A lot of it is based off of performance, and that’s
what makes you look good and get good results. So, I would be really
honored and happy for all of us if we were able to accomplish that.”
