Dan Mercier's NHRA Top Fuel Dragster Team Is Tale of Two Countries

The team's two principals don’t speak the same primary language, their respective shops are across an international border.

The veteran tuner will be managing five experienced team members, four of whom are based in Saint-Remi, Quebec, where Mercier just moved into his state-of-the-art 13,000-square-foot shop. So when Wendland continues to train and direct Benoit Duquette, Alex Lanctot, Brent Lagace, and San Antonio native Josh Scott and share strategy with Mercier midweek, he’ll do it via teleconferences.

“For me, Rob is the best teacher for the team,” Mercier said. “He knows the equipment, because he built it himself. He is positive and never gives up. Rob has had many notable successes in the past, including working with some of the best crew chiefs in the industry, such as Austin Coil, Brian Corradi, Mark Oswald, to name a few. Having the ability to sign him on board is an exciting opportunity. Now it is time to win some rounds.
