A quick turnaround for the “Purple Haze” and “Wild One” teams brought the cars back to the line for the final, final of the season. Broussard’s car struggled to keep fire and shut-off after the burnout, meanwhile McSwain sat at idle waiting patiently while his opponent’s crew franticly got the car re-fired successfully and sent Broussard into the stage position. The ambers dropped and silence again from Broussard, while McSwain blasted right down the groove to a 4.09 at 177 mph to notch a big win for the team in this final event of the season. Congratulations to McSwain and crew chief Kenny Trumble and the team who ended the season on a high note and will hope to carry that momentum into 2020.

                It was a busy season in the Outlaw Fuel Altered Association’s twenty third consecutive year of racing. Moving into 2020, some changes will go into effect starting with the resignation of series President Bobby Marriott who formed the series in 1996 and with his wife Nancy by his side single handedly ‘made it happen’ for all of those twenty three years. In his place, Chris & Tera Graves will step into the management role. Chris Graves has been the series photographer and media director since before he had a driver’s license and after seventeen years with the series will take over the reins moving into the 2020 season. Marriott will still be a full time series competitor moving forward and the OFAA rules committee has voted in some exciting changes to the format. Congratulations to Mary Reep and the entire “Grim Reeper” racing team from Austin, Texas on a stellar 2019 effort and well deserved Championship. Thank you to OFAA sponsors Good Vibrations Motorsports, Lone Star Forklift and Wizard’s Warehouse. Thank you to all the tracks, racers and fans for your support of the longest running fuel altered series in the history of the world. We’ll see you again in 2020!
