Jim Dunn Racing will debut another eye-catching MOON Equipped Nitro Funny Car at the Auto Club NHRA Finals in Pomona November 13th \u2013 15th. The iconic MOONEYES logo has become synonymous with Jim Dunn Racing since the 60\u2019s. This will be the 10th different MOONEYES design for the team going back to the early 90\u2019s. One of the most famous MOONEYES cars was driven by Kenji Okazaki and currently on display in the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum at the Pomona fair grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans love seeing MOONEYES on the Jim Dunn Racing car and it has become a tradition for us in Pomona,\u201d said Team Manager, Jon Dunn. \u201cThe response to our black and white car at the beginning of the season was overwhelming, so we decided to build off of that design.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe NHRA Finals also marks the end of the first season with driver, John Hale. Going into the Auto Club NHRA Finals the team is 13th in points and Hale is nominated for the \u201cAuto Club Road to the Future Award.\u201d This prestigious award is given to the top NHRA rookie competitor and voted on by the racing media. The winner will be announced at the NHRA Mello Yello banquet next Monday night.<\/p>\n

The popular MOONEYES merchandise trailer will also be back at the track, offering fans a wide array of products including a 2015 World Finals MOON Equipped commemorative t-shirt and the original MOON Equipped shirt that Jim Dunn Racing team will be wearing in the pits.<\/p>\n

Nitro racing gets underway Friday with the first round of qualifying for the Auto Club NHRA Finals at 12:45 p.m. PST. Race fans can also stop by the Official Mopar display on the Midway Saturday morning at 10:15 a.m. to meet John Hale and get his autograph.<\/p>\n
