Top Fuel driver Clay Millican’s car is not in action at the
Winternationals, but the colorful Tennessee driver is on hand offering
succinct commentary alongside stellar announcer Bob Frey. Millican’s
car is owned by Evan Knoll who, as everyone knows, has taken a leave of
absence from his drag racing endeavors because of health reasons.
Since there are a lot of rumors circulating about the status of Knoll’s
teams, we sought out Millican for clarification of the situation.
“All of the guys who have been with me for years and years are still
with me. The whole team is still intact. Lance (Larsen) and Johnny
(West) are still working. Our team is continuing to move forward.
We’re putting new race cars together literally every day. We just
signed the lease on a new shop that Even wanted us to move into, so
we’ve kinda spent the last few days as construction workers. It’s
really going to be a cool shop. It’s got a paved Go Kart track behind
it. My shins are sore because we’ve been out there crashin’ into each
other!
“The team’s fine. I don’t know when we’re going to go racing, but
nobody’s frustrated yet. The majority of those guys have been with me
for years and years, and that’s home for everybody. We all live there,
and we’ve been as busy as normal. Now, I don’t know what’ll happen a
few months from now.
