What a Drag: Tar Heel also race driver
Posted Aug 27, 2005
Jeff Longhany has a need for speed. It comes in handy on the football field when he's playing linebacker for North Carolina. And it's essential when he turns to his other favorite activity, drag racing. Longhany is a senior with the Tar Heels and will turn 23 in October. He has been racing for almost seven years, lured by the combination of speed and competition.
