by Clay Millican said that Rick Ware Racing’s decision to add Tony Schumacher to his NHRA Top Fuel team is already developing a handful of months.
Moreover, he said that the announcement of Schumacher’s intention of a partial seasonal schedule with RWR is inadequate for various reasons and ensured that “we want to make sure it happens when it happens correctly.”
Clay Millican is looking forward to racing somewhere in 2025 with a new teammate.
Millican, who spoke on Friday before the qualification began with the seasonal Amalie Oil Gatornations on the GaineSville Raceway in Florida, said: “It has long been in the making-actual-other, a few months. It is not easy to assemble. These are many moving pieces.
“We don’t have a deadline for when that car comes out, because we literally start all over again,” he said. “We don’t have a truck, no trailer, no racing car. We have Tony. But if we do it, it will be done well. That is why we have not set a timeline that “we will end up with X Race.” ‘
Both Millican and Schumacher are legends in the sport. Schumacher is the winning best fuel driver of the NHRA with eight championships and 88 victories. Millican is the number 1 top fuel racer in the history of Ihra with six championships and 52 event titles.
Millican said: “This will be a bit normal for Tony, having a teammate. I have never had a teammate. So I am looking forward to that. I think it will be a big advantage for everyone [his own Parts Plus Dragster] Team, because you can just double everything you learn. Between Tony and I both made many runs. We will have the winning all-time Nhra and Ihra Top Fuel Drivers. “
