TOLIVER "I'M STILL A ROCKSTAR"

Jerry Toliver didn't get to Gainesville, as he had hoped. And he appeared in Houston, with the Toyota Solara Funny Car that Jeff Diehl will drive for sponsor Rockstar Energy Drink in International Hot Rod Association competition. But he said Saturday he wanted to correct any rumors about his deal.


"Rockstar is extremely happy. We have a great relationship. It's a three-year contract. We're just excited to get going," Toliver said.

"Rockstar is extremely happy. We have a great relationship. It's a three-year contract. We're just excited to get going," Toliver said. 

He said Dale Armstrong, who tuned his WWF- and WWE-sponsored cars when he last competed, still is on board with the program. "Dale's with us until Dale doesn't want to be with us," Toliver said.

"Dale's wound up. He went to Las Vegas with us," he said, referring to the test sessions that wind and rain cut short last week. "It's a four-and-a-half-hour drive, and he talked all the way home. We're blessed to have Dale with us."

Toliver needs to renew his license but said that should come in his five days of testing next week at Phoenix.

"We'll definitely make Vegas," he said.
