Nitro crew chiefs Aaron Brooks and Jason Bunker join Brian
Lohnes on this week’s episode of the NHRA Insider podcast. The two
men have wildly different histories in NHRA drag racing with Brooks
being the more experienced of the two.
Aaron Brooks began his career in drag racing in 1997 and worked
his way to the lofty position of crew chief over his time working
for some of the best minds in the sport. In this interview, Brooks
talks about his modern role as a crew chief who has guided many
smaller teams to successful starts in the highest level of drag
racing exists how the sport has evolved, how his experience racing
with so many teams and across the world have helped his career, and
how he sees 2022 unfolding.
Jason Bunker is the crew chief for Ton Jurado and the Capitol
Punishment funny car team. He has been successful working on pro
mods, nostalgia nitro funny cars, and has overseen the privateer
California funny car team’s impressive launch into NHRA Camping
World Drag Racing. A 3rd generation racer, Bunker talks of his
history in the sport, his philosophy as a leader and crew chief,
and how his combined life experience took him down a path he didn’t
even realize he wanted until he set foot on it.
Two good chats, two good guys, and two of the smartest
mechanical minds in drag racing!
