Meet Adel
Built for Speed. Bonded by Brotherhood.
Adel Abougoush brings a lifetime love of muscle cars and a decade of industry experience to the Milron Racing pit. From childhood afternoons learning about engines at his Uncle Gordie’s garage to wrenching on 2,000+ horsepower builds, Adel has lived and breathed performance.
His path into racing was forged through friendship and family. After restoring his first Plymouth Duster in 2002, Adel spent over 10 years in the aftermarket car industry, refining his technical skills and feeding his passion. But things shifted into overdrive in 2016 when he and his best friend bought a 1969 Z28 Camaro, spending nearly every day building and racing. Two years later, they stepped up into X275 with a 2000+ HP 1968 Camaro, diving deep into the realities of small tire racing.
Now part of Curt Thompson’s dedicated pit crew, Adel brings hands-on experience, hard-earned knowledge, and a brotherhood mentality to the Milron team.
"Loved cars from a young age—from seeing my dad's muscle car pictures on the wall to spending time at my uncle Gordie's place, learning everything about cars."

About Adel
Loved cars from a young age—from seeing my dad's muscle car pictures on the wall to spending time at my uncle Gordie's place, learning everything about cars.
I got my first muscle car in 2002. It was a Plymouth Duster, and I sent it to my uncle Gordie who completely restored it.
I worked in the aftermarket car industry for over 10 years, which kept me close to my racing and car obsession.
In 2016, my best friend bought a 1969 Z28 Camaro, which we built and raced every possible day throughout the year.
In 2018, he purchased an X275 car—a 1968 Camaro with a blown 2000+ HP LS. That’s when we really learned the struggles of high horsepower small tire racing.
The last few years have had their challenges, but with those came some unforgettable accomplishments.
