Taylor Chomiski targets Comp Eliminator success at the 72nd NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, driving a Chevrolet Cobalt powered by father and crew chief Gary Chomiski’s engine.

He enters ranked 13th nationally and second in Division 4 points.

The team arrives after a difficult summer but with a reset approach, prioritizing process over outcome. The Diamond Wally available this weekend heightens jeopardy and rewards discipline.

Form is encouraging. Chomiski won the Division 4 opener at No Problem Raceway, reached the Cajun SPORTSnationals semifinals, then made the final in Las Vegas to consolidate momentum.

Ranked 13th nationally and second in Division 4 entering Indianapolis.

June brought the loss of family friend Duane Ollinger, a widely respected figure. Chomiski will carry Ollinger’s name on the Cobalt after a heartfelt celebration of life in Amarillo.

Chomiski contests the E/SM class within Comp Eliminator’s index framework. Compounding limited starts, the Cobalt has not been on the track recently, yet sustained preparation underpins confidence.

“One warm-up, one procedure, one round at a time.”

The crew emphasizes repeatable procedures, targeting cleaner shifts and consistency. Last year’s Indianapolis mistakes shape a conservative, stepwise plan centered on execution and discipline.

Operations are led by Gary Chomiski, with David “Chief” Trujillo as car chief. Support comes from Blind Frog Ranch, Scott Seed, the Watson family of Watson Concrete and ACI, Wayne’s Garage, NC Machine, and Quality Floors.

The team will run with Duane Ollinger’s name on the car at Indianapolis.

The Comp Eliminator field at the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis is traditionally unforgiving, with narrow margins. Chomiski’s target is pragmatic: advance methodically and position the Cobalt for a Monday run at the class Wally.
