Rick Ware Racing's Addition of Tony Schumacher in Works for Many Months
Moreover, he said Wednesday's announcement of Schumacher's intention of a partial season schedule with RWR was short on details for several reasons and assured that 'we want to make sure when it happens that it's done correctly.'
Millican, talking Friday before qualifying began at the season-opening Amalie Oil Gatornationals at Florida's Gainesville Raceway, said, 'It's been in the works for a longtime, actually—several, several months. It's not an easy thing to put together. It's a lot of moving pieces.
'We don't have a deadline for when that car will come out, because we literally are starting from scratch,' he said. 'We have no truck, no trailer, no race car. We have Tony. But when we do it, it'll be done right. That's why we did not put a timeline that 'We will be out at X race.''Both Millican and Schumacher are legends in the sport. Schumacher is the NHRA's winningest Top Fuel driver with eight championships and 88 victories. Millican is the No. 1 Top Fuel racer in IHRA history with six championships and 52 event titles.
Millican said, 'For Tony, this will be kind of normal, having a teammate. I've never had a teammate. So I'm looking forward to that. I think it will be a big benefit for everybody on [his own Parts Plus Dragster] team, because you can just double everything that you're learning. Between Tony and I, we've both made a lot of runs. We will have the winningest all-time NHRA and IHRA Top Fuel drivers.'

In Top Fuel, Doug Kalitta set the fastest time in qualifying to go to the top of the charts and take the No. 1 spot in Sunday's bracket. He'll begin his day against No. 14 qualifier Terry Totten. A win there would send Kalitta straight to the semifinals. In Funny Car, Jack Beckman had the fastest qualifying run while his teammate Austin Prock qualified second. The duo were the only drivers to make a run in under 3.9 seconds. Those two look like huge favorites this weekend. Over in Pro Stock, Greg Anderson was the fast qualifier, followed by Dallas Glenn. Glenn won this race a year ago.
