After consultations with his family, sponsors and his employees, Mark
“Cowboy” Pawuk has decided to forego the 2007 NHRA POWERade Series
season. It will be the first time in 21 years that the Pro Stock
veteran’s colorful Pontiac won’t be part of the national drag racing
scene.
“This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make,” Pawuk
acknowledged from his offices at Empaco Equipment Corporation in
Richfield. “What’s made it even harder for me is that our sponsors, who
have demonstrated amazing loyalty, have been so encouraging. Every
single one of them has indicated that when we return to action next
season they’ll continue to have their logos displayed on our car, and
I’m very grateful for their support.
