Bravo! Brands Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BRVO): has announced a partnership with Evan Knoll's Torco Racing Fuels to sponsor Dave Connolly's 2007 Pro Stock NHRA championship effort.

Connolly, who finished third in 2006, will field a Co-Branded Torco/Slammers Chevy Cobalt, teaming-up with current Slammers Ultimate Milk driver, and three-time world NHRA Pro Stock champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. The chassis and engines for both cars will be supplied by Cagnazzi Racing.

"What we've known for the last few seasons was that it was going to take more than a single car to challenge for the Pro Stock championship," Victor Cagnazzi said. This year the plan is to run Jeg and Dave as team cars, and utilize Tommy Lee as a test driver for both cars to take every opportunity to test new configurations and make the most out of every run down thequarter mile.

Slammers actively sought out Connolly, who impressed everyone last season with his winning ways."Slammers is all about a winning attitude,"

CEO Roy Warren said. "After watching Dave race last year, he sure showed us he has that winning attitude. I'd like to thank Evan Knoll for allowing us be part of Dave's 2007 effort, we couldn't be more thrilled."

"I am thrilled to have such a great company like Bravo! Brands on our car," Knoll said. "Having the power of Cagnazzi engines will prove that we will bein the hunt for the championship along with Dave's teammate Jeggie. When you have these kind of drivers and this kind of group behind them look out, 2007 is going to be great!"

"Victor runs a great operation and I'm very proud to have my team located with them in house at his beautiful facility. They're all hands on, greatpeople there."

Connolly is also excited about his new co-sponsor, and working with Jeg Coughlin.

"Jeg has been there and done that," Connolly said. "He's already won NHRA championships which I haven't done yet. To have someone with that much experience is real valuable. We are both pretty motivated people, and Ithink being on the same team will push us both to work at our full potential.

"I can also honestly say that I have the best sponsors in the sport in my opinion. As most people know, Evan has been there for me through some rough times and is a great team owner. I'm real proud to still be representing Torco, and I'm also excited to be working with Slammers. They really have their head in the sport and that makes it fun. Roy Warren and the people I've met have been great to me. Then when you add the tremendous support we get from Chevrolet, it's hard not to be excited about 2007."

Coughlin shares Connolly's enthusiasm. "I'm definitely real excited about this," Coughlin said. "Dave and I have been good friends for the past several years. In fact when Dave first gotstarted in Comp Eliminator, he got a car from us so I worked with him a lot back then. He is a great talent, great competitor, and great friend. I only see positives for Slammers, Torco and Cagnazzi Racing. "

Connolly will be testing his new Torco/Slammers Cobalt extensively in theoff season in preparation for a title run at the 2007 Pro Stock championship. Both Connolly and Coughlin will also be attending the Pontiac Pro Stock Showdown at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on February 3rd where Cagnazzi, Warren and Knoll hope to see both cars in the Final.
