Tom McEwen was an American drag racer and a winner of the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) U.S. Nationals. His racing career spanned 45 years, and he is ranked number 16 on a list of the 50 most significant drivers of NHRA's first 50 years. He received the nickname "the Mongoose" in 1964 from engine builder Ed Donovan, originally used as a device to entice Don "the Snake" Prudhomme into a high-exposure match race. In 1972, McEwen won his first major event by dominating the Top Fuel field at the Bakersfield March Meet. A year later, he scored his first NHRA national event victory by topping the Funny Car field at the SuperNationals at Ontario Motor Speedway. McEwen went on to win four more national events, including a dramatic U.S. Nationals Funny Car victory over Prudhomme in 1978, coming only a few days after the death of his son Jamie, who had battled leukemia. He won the AHRA World Finals at Spokane Raceway Park in 1982, the prestigious Big Bud Shootout in 1984, and Top Fuel at the 1991 Summernationals at Englishtown, New Jersey. McEwen retired from racing in 1992 and was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2001.
