Staging Lanes: Farmtruck vs. Funny Car

In a grudge match you can only find at a Nitro Chaos event, Sean “Farmtruck” Whitley and Dave Hill square off at Mo-Kan Dragway’s 62nd anniversary race.

[Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared in DI #191, the 30 Under 30 Issue, in November / December of 2024.]

Whitley in his Street Outlaws-famous ’70 Chevy Long Bed truck was given a bit of a head start against Hill and his nitro-burning “Mad Max” Mustang Funny Car. Even with the head start, Hill obviously made up the difference quickly and charged past Whitley to win the clocks-off grudge race. The race was a huge hit with the capacity crowd, and the Farmtruck and Azn duo are in talks for a rematch – or at the very least another “Chaos” appearance in 2025.
