Funny Car team boss says he came into 2022 prepared for economic challenges.
Pedregon, a 38-time Funny Car event winner, has been a model of consistency this season, leaving each of the first eight events either fourth or fifth in the points standings. He's yet to make a final round, but he made it to the semifinals in the season-opener at Pomona.
"We're okay," Pedregon said."I'm in the business world, and I've had these struggles in previous years, especially early in my career as an owner. You really try not to cut it so thin. You have to plan for the worst and hope for the best, so to speak. So we've done that.
"I take it year by year," he said,"In drag racing, you try and project how many runs you make. Hopefully, you don't have too many catastrophic issues like blowing bodies. I like to ask people all the time, imagine a business where you might blow the roof off your building and not only replace your roof, but the machinery and everything. Drag racing is probably the toughest of auto racing in general—you never know when you're going to have that pileup on the track.
