Jack Harris Retires From Driving
Kaysville, Utah - After winning the 2004 Goodguys-VRA Top Fuel Championship and following his historic 262 pass at the 40th NHRA POWERade World Finals, Jack "The Sheriff" Harris has announced that he is hanging up his guns (but not his badge) and give his son, Brett the drivers seat. Harris, 61, had asked Brett to get him a World Championship. It took six years and happened this season. So, adding the championship to the first over 260mph run in a Nostalgia Top Fuel dragster (icing on the cake), Harris retires with reservations. He "may" drive at some match races next season but the Goodguys and NHRA events will have Brett behind the wheel. Jack, along with Billy Robins, will maintain his position as team owner and manager and remain totally active in the racing program.
