Veteran Top Fuel pilot will drive Evan Knoll’s Knoll’s Seelye Wright dragster in 2008
If there’s one thing that Evan Knoll and veteran independent Top Fuel
driver Bobby Lagana, Jr. have in common, it’s a passion for drag racing.
The Michigan-based Knoll has sponsored through his Knoll Gas and Torco
Race Fuels entities, a number of drag racing teams and drivers over the
years, many of these sponsorships keeping their racing dreams alive.
Lagana was one of those teams that raced with more passion than
operating funds. A few years ago, Knoll provided that much needed
influx of cash to maintain this popular underdog running strong.
Knoll made note of this dedication and when the position of driving his
personal Top Fuel dragster became available, it became a no-brainer
that Lagana would be a fitting candidate to replace the newly departed
Scotty Cannon.
