Brian Husen

Crew Chief: The Al-Anabi Racing dragster (Shawn Langdon)

Brian Husen was promoted to crew chief of Del Worsham’s Top Fuel team prior to the 2011 season and didn't disappoint leading the team to the NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel championship with driver Del Worsham. Husen led the team to eight wins in 11 final-round appearances en route to the 2011 title, the second consecutive for the Al-Anabi team. Prior to being promoted to crew chief, Husen was Jason McCulloch's assistant crew chief on the team's other top fuel team. Husen came to the Al-Anabi Racing team in 2009 after eight highly-successful seasons with Don Schumacher Racing. There, he worked for current team manager Alan Johnson, who was then the crew chief on the U.S. Army Top Fuel dragster driven by Tony Schumacher that won five consecutive NHRA Top Fuel championships. At Schumacher Racing, Husen worked alongside then assistant crew chief Jason McCulloch in coordinating team management and logistics. Husen worked at Alan Johnson Racing on Bruce Sarver’s E-Moola Funny Car in 2000 but joined Schumacher Racing later that same season to work on Melanie Troxel’s Exide Dragster. From 1997 through 1999, he worked on Cory McClenathan’s Top Fuel dragster at Joe Gibbs Racing focusing on short blocks and the bottom end; it was his first job in NHRA Drag Racing.
