Vandergriff and crew aim for top spot in Michigan NHRA Nationals

Jordan Vandergriff and his crew are targeting the No. 1 spot at the Dodge NHRA Great Lakes Nationals presented by MOPAR, held at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park. The team, led by crew chiefs Chris Cunningham and Jason Bunker, is optimistic about the final qualifying session after a moist Michigan afternoon.

Cunningham and Bunker have been working through the challenging track conditions by revisiting data from the season’s start at Pomona and making adjustments to the shake zone. They aim to deliver a powerful run that will keep the Funny Car competitive in the final quarter.

The crew’s confidence is backed by a strong driver‑crew relationship, with Vandergriff eager to learn from each run and the team’s collective effort. Fans, who have returned after a 66‑year absence, are expected to support the crew’s push for a top finish.
