Dale Armstrong (1941 – November 28, 2014) was a Canadian drag racer and crew chief. After winning 12 National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and 12 International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) events in the 1970s,[1] including the Pro Comp title in 1975, he became Kenny Bernstein's crew chief.[2][3] The combination produced four consecutive national championships in Funny Car (1985 to 1988) and another in Top Fuel.[2][3] Bernstein became the first driver to top the 300 miles per hour mark in an engine tuned by Armstrong.[2] Armstrong has been inducted in numerous halls of fame. He died on November 28, 2014, at his home in Temecula, California, at the age of 73. He had sarcoidosis.
