Jim Dunn is ready to get back to drag racing. The Jim Dunn Racing team and the Grime Boss Nitro Funny Car return to action at the 2014 Lucas Oil Nationals in Brainerd, MN this weekend. Jim Dunn underwent surgery for colon cancer last month. Early detection of the cancer and a successful operation has allowed him to return to NHRA racing.

“We want to thank all the fans and fellow racers for their support over the past few weeks. The flowers, cards and the banners everyone signed during the Western Swing meant so much to my Dad and our family,” said Jim Dunn Racing Business Manager, Jon Dunn. “The team is excited to get back to the track and compete again. We’ve spent the last month preparing the car for our return to the NHRA Mello-Yello series. We are looking forward to a successful outing in Brainerd and welcoming new associate sponsor BZ Twisted Blend Custom Coffee.”

Race fans can meet Big Jim and get up close to the Grime Boss Funny Car at the Menards in Baxter this Thursday, August 14th from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Jeff Arend, driver of the Grime Boss Dodge Funny Car, will also be at the 2nd half of the appearance to meet fans and sign autographs.
