No one can say Johnny Gray doesn’t like taking chances.
The NHRA veteran driver is not only coming back to compete in Pro Stock for a third-consecutive season in 2010, but he’s doing it with a two-car team and his own engine program.
Gra,y and his 37-year-old son Shane, will each be campaigning Pontiac GXP cars for a full national event schedule.
“My thoughts are we will be very competitive with a two-car team,” the 56-year-old Johnny Gray said. “We’re naturally, at the present time, struggling because we’re trying to build an engine shop, build horsepower and build two new cars all at the same time. With the economy in the shape that it is in, the parts vendors are not stocking anything extra on the shelves and it’s a little harder to get parts and get up and running fast. We still have a real bright outlook and we feel like we will be very competitive in a short period of time.”
