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.
