Bio

Bob Tasca III began racing at age 16 and is carrying on his family’s racing tradition as the driver of the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang Nitro Funny Car in the National Hot Rod Association. Bob’s grandfather (Bob Sr.) helped launch Ford’s successful return to professional drag racing in the 1960s when he created the first Cobra Jet. Tasca made his NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car debut in 2008, winning a pair of national events. Upon his rise to the Nitro Funny Car circuit in 2009, he racked up his first two “Wallys” in Gainesville and Reading. Tasca collected wins in 2010 (Englishtown) and 2012 (Dallas). His next triumphs occurred in 2019, when he won back-to-back races in Bristol and Norwalk.
