Reigning NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel champion Del Worsham has been nominated in the Best Driver category for the prestigious ESPY Awards. In 2011, Worsham raced to eight victories as a Top Fuel driver for the Al-Anabi Racing team en route to his first NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel championship. Having accomplished his career goal, Worsham announced his retirement as a Top Fuel driver a week later and was named crew chief of the Kalitta Motorsports Tequila Patron Toyota Camry Funny Car team with driver Alexis DeJoria.
