Mike Delahanty-Ford Performance Drag Racing Program Manager

Ken Miele · 02-20-2017, 08:54 AM

Mike Delahanty, one of our live reporters is now the Ford Performance Drag Racing Program Manager. Many of you know that Jesse Kershaw has moved on from this position. Jesse was a great advocate for Ford racers and did much for getting many competitive combinations approved.

Mike will also make a great liaison for Ford racers in all the sanctioning bodies. Mike’s has a vast knowledge in many forms of racing, but from talking to Mike, he has a great passion for Drag Racing. I know some Ford racers were worried about who would replace Jesse Kershaw. Be rest assured that the Ford racing community is in good hands. Evan Smith had a chance to talk with Mike about his new position. Check out Class Racer Magazine to find what Mike had to say.

Great for Mike and all racers when any manufacturer promotes grounded people who relate to the Sportsman racers. One thing Mike didn't address in his interview though....does he have to park the Mopar now?
