A Special Moment in the Pits
Earlier this year, NHRA Chief Starter Mark Lyle lost his life while on vacation in Mexico as he was attempting to save another swimmers life that he saw struggling in the water. We were fortunate enough to be near Antron Brown's pit as part of his family and friends were walking through the pits, Brown was kind enough to take Jasper, Lyle's grandson around the pits and showed him his Matco Tools Top Fuel Dragster.
Brown would go on to sign autographs after giving Jasper his tour.
