marilyn_darnell1 Marilyn Darnell Marilyn is the Co-Crew Chief for the Flash Fire and SHOCKWAVE Jet Trucks and also wife of driver Neal Darnell. Among her various duties are communications with various people during the performance to make sure the Jet Truck and other vehicles that may also be performing are all in sync with one another at all times. The success of the performance is dependent on her timing and signaling skills.

Her responsibilities also include starting the big Jet Engine on the Flash Fire Jet Truck and towing the Jet Truck into position on and off the Runway with her Beautiful Red Corvette Pace Car.

Marilyn is a huge part of the success of the team everyone agrees, "We couldn't do it without her".
