GLENDORA, Calif. -- NHRA announced today that Charlie Neilson, formerly the NHRA Division 7 Director, has accepted a position as manager of the NHRA contingency program, effective immediately.

In his new position, Neilson will manage all aspects of the NHRA contingency program and report directly to Glen Cromwell, vice president of national event marketing services. Prior to becoming NHRA Division 7 Director, Neilson served as a marketing services manager. Prior to joining NHRA in 1997, Neilson worked as a crew member for Kenny Bernstein's Budweiser King Top Fuel dragster.

"Neilson's experience, both as a division director and marketing services manager, make him well suited to handle the needs of NHRA's contingency program," Cromwell said.

NHRA is currently searching to fill the Division 7 Director position.
