PAYING TRIBUTE

Texas native Chris McGaha launches hard in his Harlow Sammons-powered Pro Stock Camaro on a qualifying pass at the AAA Texas FallNationals , where McGaha paid tribute to the late
Pro Stock legend Lee Shepherd with the special Reher-Morrison wrap . McGaha saw the
Dallas race during the 50th anniversary season of NHRA Pro Stock as the perfect opportunity to honor one of his heroes and a Texas racing icon . Shepherd raced out of the Dallas area and won four world championships before he tragically passed away while testing in 1985 .
