JASON McCULLOCH

Top Fuel Crew Chief: (Khalid alBalooshi)

The 2012 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing season is Jason McCulloch's fourth at the helm of an Al-Anabi Top Fuel team. He earned his first NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel Championship as a crew chief as he led the Al-Anabi Racing team to its first championship in 2010.  During that season, the Al-Anabi team was undefeated in final rounds with a 12-0 mark, an NHRA first. In addition, the team advanced to at least the semifinals in 17 of the 23 races and qualified in the top three at 19 of the 23 races.  Last season, McCulloch's Al-Anabi team raced to a fourth-place finish in the final NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel point standings. In 2009, McCulloch guided the team to a second-place finish in the battle for the NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel championship and was just two points away from winning the title. McCulloch came to the Al-Anabi Racing team in 2009 after six highly-successful seasons with Don Schumacher Racing. There, he served as the assistant crew chief for current team manager Alan Johnson, who was then the crew chief on the U.S. Army Top Fuel dragster driven by Tony Schumacher. He gained experience in the sport in the 1980s when he served as crew member for his father Ed McCulloch’s team, owned by Larry Minor.
