Mark Mariani will return to the Top Fuel fray this Saturday in the Lefand Group/Mariani Motorsports dragster. Mariani said he could not be more excited.
“We are going through the process of dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s to make sure we’re in the best position we can be for this race, much like we did for our last event in May 2016 at the Nitro Champs,” he said.
2016 was a rollercoaster ride that Mark would like to remember and forget.
“I experienced the highest-of-highs and the lowest-of-lows, from both personal and racing perspectives. Because of this, I’m so looking forward to kicking off 2017 with (another) big win for our returning marketing partner Lefand Group and our new charity that we’re raising awareness for, Camp Quality.
“We have most of the crew from our last event confirmed and will also have Premium Motorsports Products’ Mike Domagala back over from the US to take on his role of crew chief. Mike’s wife and business partner Michelle is also flying across to help us out in and around the pit with our PR team, so things will pretty much have the same feel as when we won the Nitro Champs.
“We are all looking forward to continuing to improve on our performance from that event, as we are sure the car has still got more left in her.”
