Don Schumacher confirmed today that
DonSchumacher Racing has inked a three-year associate sponsorship
agreementwith Matco Tools to support all DSR teams through
2009.Matco Tools had been a primary sponsor of a DSR Funny Car team in
the NHRAPOWERade Drag Racing Series and an associate sponsor on all DSR
teams from2001 through 2006. "We are pleased to maintain our longtime
relationshipwith Matco Tools through this multi-year associate sponsorship
agreement,"said Schumacher.

Three weekends ago, Torco's
CompetitionPlus.com reported that General Motors motorsports head man Fred
Simmonds was none too happy with the way the NHRA handled the move of their
event in Columbus to Norwalk. Reportedly, Simmonds was notified via a voicemail
on the day of the annoucement. Torco's CompetitionPlus.com knew of the
announcement weeks in advance.

The general consensus was that GM was going to pull its loaner vehicles from
the program but rumors suggest the event sponsorship will be pulled as
well.

Jeg Coughlin Jr., impressed with
his recent test session at Virginia Motorsports Park is ready for the NHRA
POWERade Pro Stock wars. And, he has an agenda as well. He wants to run quick
and fast en route to helping Victor Cagnazzi teammate Dave Connolly pursue a
world championship.

Coughlin will make his return at the upcoming Torco Race Fuels NHRA Nationals
in Petersburg, Va.

Torco's CompetitionPlus.com has obtained this
rendering of the scheme Dave Connolly will utilize as his team makes a
late-season push for the Pro Stock World Championship.

Last month, Torco's
CompetitionPlus.com posted a feature on Orville Moe and his troubles with
Spokane Raceway. Word comes to us from the Spokesman Review that he's been
indicted on the charges of public corruption along with a former mayor.
