I'm fairly certain Powell & Burnett were the last non-Chrysler NHRA Divisonal Champions. They were a great team to watch and showed up just about anywhere fuel cars ran in the southeast.

Hardcore Rat racers in the day and that team loved to run and
did the BowTie fans proud.
RIP Don,with all that have passed lately I know you're in good company.
