Legendary drag racer "Big Daddy" Don Garlits purchased the first production Dodge Challenger Drag Pak vehicle with plans to race it in NHRA Division 2 competition in 2009. Garlit who has had a lengthy career in top fuel drag racing will be taking it easy by some standards while competing in his Challenger Drag Pak vehicle. He will mark his 60th year in drag racing when he competes at the 2009 Mac Tools U.S. Nationals.

Garlits will receive a special certificate from Mopar recognizing his purchase of the first production Challenger Drag Pak at the 21st annual Performance Racing Industry trade show going on this weekend at Florida's Orlando Convention Center.
