Steve Torrence, NHRA's 2005 Top Alcohol Dragster World Champion, has
been named to replace Alan Bradshaw as the driver of the Vis Viva
"Living Force Energy" Top Fuel Dragster owned by Dexter Tuttle.
Torrence will begin his driving duties at the upcoming Lucas Oil NHRA
SuperNationals in Englishtown, N.J. on June 19-22. Torrence previously
drove for Tuttle as teammate to J.R. Todd for the final 3 events of
2006. The 25 year old resident of Kilgore, Tex. is thrilled about his
return to Top Fuel and Tuttle Motorsports.
"I couldn't be more excited than I am right now," Torrence said.
"Having worked with Dexter in the past, I know the kind of team that he
runs and I can't wait to get back in his car. I'm also excited to be
representing Dexter's sponsor, Vis Viva Energy. They are a new and
upcoming energy drink and I'm a new and upcoming driver in Top Fuel,
what a perfect fit."
