Cameron Ferred

Auto Collision Professor Cameron Ferre featured by NHRA

Our very own Auto Collision Professor and top fuel racer Cameron Ferre was featured by the National Hot Rod Association. Despite balancing a full-time career as a professor and family life, Cameron maintains a sharp competitive drive while partnering with hands-on team owner Jerry Freeman. Together, the duo has turned an intended one-weekend setup into a multi-year effort, steadily building a disciplined, cost-effective program to consistently compete with drag racing's top teams.
