CANNONBALL RACING PARKING AFTER ROCKINGHAM

Scotty and Scott Cannon turned in an impressive performance at the IHRA season-opener in San Antonio, Texas. Pending a new sponsorship program, the team will be parked after this weekend’s IHRA event in Rockingham.

“We already have our cars ready and since Rockingham is so close to home we will still run this race,” said the six-time World Champion Cannon. “But you can bet your bottom dollar that after this event we will be parked until a new marketing partner is found or until Torco Race Fuels resumes its sponsorship with our team. We have worked with Evan for a long time and hope to continue our business relationship. Our friendship will always be intact.”

Scotty Cannon Racing is considering all options at this point in the season.

“While we hope to secure a marketing partner to run both cars, my son and I are also available to drive or crew chief another team that is looking to win a championship,” Cannon added. That includes any team whether it is in the IHRA, NHRA, ADRL or any sanctioning body for that matter.”  

Defending IHRA champion Scott Cannon, Jr. just wants to be able to defend his title.

“I really want to run my car this year and see where we end up,” said Scott Cannon, Jr. “I have an active role in our team in that I can work on the car as well as drive it. We worked all winter long and had great testing success at Bobby Bennett’s Eastern Spring Test Nationals. We are ready to defend our title …we just need a marketing partner behind us,”
