NHRA NEWS: STATEMENT FROM NHRA PRESIDENT TOM COMPTON ON THE PASSING OF CARROLL SHELBY

“The automotive industry has lost a pioneer and the motorsports world a legend with the passing of Carroll Shelby. He and our founder Wally Parks were very good friends and Carroll frequently attended events at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California.  On behalf of everyone at NHRA, our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”
