Camrie Caruso Motorsports is proud to announce that Allen Johnson, one of the most accomplished and respected names in NHRA Pro Stock history, will take the wheel of the Green Genie Mountain Motor Pro Stock Car as Camrie Caruso steps away from driving duties for the 2026 season to focus on starting a family.
While Caruso will be away from the driver’s seat this season, she plans to remain involved with the team and is expected to return to competition next season.
Johnson, a celebrated NHRA Pro Stock veteran, is best known as the 2012 NHRA Pro Stock World Champion and a seven-time winner of the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals, earning him the title “King of the Mountain.” Following a decorated 22-year career with Mopar, Johnson retired from full-time Pro Stock competition in 2017, but his impact on the sport has continued. In 2023, he made headlines once again in Factory X, becoming the first member of the Jesel 200 MPH Club.
This special opportunity also marks a reunion of one of drag racing’s most respected championship combinations. Jim Yates, who worked alongside Johnson during his NHRA Pro Stock championship run, will once again be calling the shots as tuner, while Adrian Long continues as car chief.
“This wasn’t an easy decision, but family comes first,” said Camrie Caruso. “I’m stepping away for this season to focus on starting a family, but I fully plan to be back behind the wheel next season. In the meantime, I can’t think of anyone better than Allen Johnson to drive this car. His experience, talent, and success speak for themselves, and having Jim Yates and Allen back together again with Adrian Long as car chief makes this really special. It truly feels like we’ve got the band back together.”
The Green Genie Mountain Motor Pro Stock entry will hit the track backed by an outstanding group of partners, including Green Genie, CDL Training Academy, Woods Creek Coffee, VP Racing Fuels, The HubSaver, and Iconic Apparel.
“We’re proud to continue pushing forward with our program and representing all of the incredible partners who support us,” Caruso added. “This team has worked hard to build something special, and I’m excited to watch it continue this season, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the partners who stand by us season after season.”
With Johnson’s championship pedigree, Yates’ proven tuning expertise, and a strong team behind the scenes, Camrie Caruso Motorsports is ready to make a statement with the Green Genie Mountain Motor Pro Stock program.
