    Daniel Wilkerson’s fast start to his NHRA FUNNY CAR “Rookie” season has SCAG Wilkerson Racing Fans, and Dad Tim, Taking Notice

    Following the announcement of a SCAG Power Equipment multicar factory team, SCAG Wilkerson Racing, Dan Wilkerson has recently taken over the driving duties for the NHRA Ford Mustang Funny Car from his father, veteran driver and tuner, Tim Wilkerson.
    After spending the past two years as crew chief for the Bond-coat team of Chad Green, he is now firmly planted in the driver’s seat where he just days ago put on one heck of a show at the Charlotte 4 wide nationals.

Megan Meyer Racing ,

A great conversation!

I had a pleasure having a natural conversation with JP - before I knew it we were already talking for over an hour. I was very impressed with the caliber of guests he’s previously had on the show, so when he reached out to me I was very honored to be his next guest! His show is real and I love that it focuses on life outside of the highlight reels.

Definitely 5 Stars Show!

Wow awesome! I’m very glad and honored to make it happen! Thank you J.P.Emerson for my opportunely to share my story about me as a custom die-cast builder and muscle car photographer. Had great conversation with you and Mark as an ASL interpreter is a champ. Cheers to J.P. for doing an outstanding show! 🙌🙌

Dragzine ,
