The number one racing news website "goDragRacing.com" awarded Newsham the Overall Driver Of The Year as quoted "The twin turbo Mustang from J & E Performance was a number one pick as the car to beat in 2006. Joe Newsham handled the driving and Injection Connection tuned this machine to some of the northeast's quickest and fastest times throughout the year while seamlessly swapping over from a small block twin to a big block twin. Newsham has played in the northeast on all levels.

About Chris Cline:
Chris Cline / Crew Chief giving some last minute advice to Joe Newsham Before A Major Win at E TownThis year started out with a new larger cubic inch engine combination for Team J&E Performance with bigger cubes and a much more advanced reality of how it will handle the course of its passes down the track. Chris Cline and the team pulled out so much power out of the last combination of one of the smallest engines in its class to be consistent and fast at the same time to be a part of all these championships that J&E Performance has acquired.

Cline will surely use his skills developing more over his coming years to advance Team && E Performance through more rounds and wins from his advanced knowledge gained by being part of this team and his Injection Connection background.
