"James Day will be hitting the throttle in my new Funny Car", says Johnny. "James is a son in law of the legendary Don Schumacher. He is a very good driver and was also in the big show with his own Funny Car in 2006. It will be nice to work with these guys - James will bring some of his own crew to the race to assist us. My son Dennis and I will fly over two weeks before the race to organise everything.
"It is twenty four years ago that I raced over there at with my alcohol Funny Car with Kent Persson in the seat. To all Nostalgia Nitro fans, don't miss Bakersfield - Johnny Nilsson Racing from Sweden will be there."
