NHRA Pro Stock team owner
Bart Price has seen it happen many times. Open your mouth to discuss a
potential deal and watch it fade away.
Price is close to securing
a deal and his lips are clenched as tight as he can clench them. All he’ll say
is that they came to him.
“If everything continues
down the path it is headed, our racing efforts will change dramatically,” Price
said. “I refuse to jinx myself and I will be content waiting until the deal is
inked before I say a word. Once the contract is signed and the check is in my
hand – you won’t be able to shut me up.”
The company in question is
non-automotive, and this will be their first foray into drag racing. Best of
all - Price adds, they are Fortune 500.
