Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 1953 Kenworth

Cruz started off in some rather "funny" cars. In his career he has been a go kart racer, and in 2005 he drove a midget car owned by NASCAR star Tony Stewart and World of Outlaws driver Danny Lasoski in the Chili Bowl. Somehow it seems almost natural that he would have chalked up his first drag racing win in a big rig.

2. Which Top Fuel driver's father won the 1970 Winternationals in a Top Fuel Dragster?

Answer: Larry Dixon

Larry Dixon, Sr. was also a Top Fuel driver, and in 1970 he was the Winternationals Top Fuel winner. Larry, Jr. started his career in the pits before becoming a Top Fuel driver for Don "The Snake" Prudhomme.

3. Which Pro Stock Bike rider previously spent 10 years as a professional AMA motocross rider?

Answer: Antron Brown

While a number of Pro Stock Bike pilots enjoy motocross racing as a hobby, only Antron had a lengthy professional career riding a dirt bike.

4. Who was the only Pro Stock driver to qualify for all 23 national events in 2002?

Answer: Ron Krisher

Warren Johnson may be "The Professor", but he and the other Pro Stock drivers were taken to school by Ron Krisher in 2002. Not only did he make the field at all 23 events, he led Pro Stock by taking the top qualifying spot 8 times that year.
