After competing for the last couple of years behind the wheel of Kenny
Koretsky’s NitroFish Pro Stock Mopar, the Northrop family will return
to Pro Stock with their own team. The family has been hooked on racing
for years.
Patriarch
of the family, Paul Northrop said, “Let’s face it. I just want to enjoy myself
and we talked about going back to our own car for a while. This particular deal
came about through our relationship with Bill Jenkins, who built the engines for
our Comp car years ago, along with supplying engines for us to run Pro Stock
before we ran with Kenny.”
“It’s
just about everybody’s dream to run a Pro Stocker,” says Dave, “and we dabbled
on our own for several years and had a great time. We were fortunate to hook up
with Kenny [Koretsky] two years ago, which had me driving one of his cars. For
that, we’ll always be grateful, and our relationship with him goes back a long
ways, which we’ll still maintain.”
