Introduced to drag racing as a child, Chad Stephens always immediately had an interest, but gravitated heavily toward aspects of it that challenged him both intellectually and creatively.

With car counts regularly in the 20s, the NMRA’s G-Force Racing Transmissions Coyote Stock category offers plenty of competition in a relatively inexpensive, heads-up class, and now Holley EFI Factory Super Cars driver Jason Dietsch has decided to join the ranks after purchasing a 2004 Mustang from Coyote Stock racer Jimmy Vogel.
