The first day following the completion of the 2022 NHRA Finals at Pomona and the 2023 announcements are starting!

Tony Schumacher will have a new Crew Chief in Mike 'Zippy' Neff on the Maynard Family Racing Scag Power Equipment Top Fuel car in 2023.
Mike Neff joins Tony Schumacher for 2023 NHRA Top Fuel championship bid

No mention of where Todd Okuhara may be headed, and no mention (yet) of who will be taking over as Crew Chief for Bob Tasca III on his Funny Car.

Numerous long serving drag racing icons made their farewells yesterday. I know I saw Austin Coil hangin' out with the Force gang :D
 
So sad to see Ken and Judy Black retiring (but happy for them). Hopefully Greg will still have a seat somewhere.
 
At the PRI show, Alex Laughlin was announced as the new driver for Jim Dunn's funny car. They will be running the full 21-race NHRA schedule in 2023.

There was some talk about a ford (an actual ford engine) making an appearance in a pro stocker. I sure hope that happens.
 
An announcement posted today on nhra.com that KB Racing and Titan Racing Engines have merged to become KB Titan Racing. They will field a total of four Pro Stock cars during the 2023 NHRA season with the following drivers:
* Greg Anderson
* Kyle Koretsky
* Dallas Glenn (2021 NHRA Rookie of the Year)
* Camrie Caruso (2022 NHRA Rookie of the Year)

There should be some momentous Pro Stock battles between Elite Motorsports and KB Titan Racing!
