If you have been around for any amount of time; then you have seen or heard of Philip Palmer, Team Green, and/or Stuckey Racing. These guys are one of the long standing racing teams in the diesel motorsports arena. They have been racing and winning championships, dating all the way back to the DHRA, (Do you remember them? Diesel Hot Rod Association). Over the years they have been a major contributor to taking not only their class but diesel racing in general to new levels.
Palmer and the entire Team Green have not only won a TON of races in the Pro Stock class, but they constantly break records and set milestones for others to strive towards…Consistently, leading the entire Pro Stock class into uncharted territory time and time again with their achievements.
Some of their achievements are listed below:
- 3 Time NHRDA World Champions on Pro Street
- First to win consecutive back-to-back champions in NHRDA history (2011-2012)
- First Pro-Street to run in the 9’s
- First Pro Street to run in the five’s in the 1/8th mile
- First Pro Street to run in the eight second zone
- Former National Record Holder
- Championships in NHRDA DHRA and NADM
- Personal Best – 8.91 ET at 153 mph
Recently, before a NHRDA (National Hot Rod Diesel Association) race, the guys at NHRDA were able to sit down with Palmer. Here is a link to the full interview. They talk about Team Green’s accomplishments up to this point and then Palmer discusses the current state of the Pro Street class and the future of diesel motorsports in general. If you have a few minutes, it is an interesting article and we thought we would pass it along.
