Anyone who knows Larry Morgan personally will attest while he is an excellent Pro Stock team owner/driver when given a good racing budget, he's always had a Pro Mod spirit. A couple of sources close to the situation tell us "Mr. Tell It Like It Is" will be back racing in the NHRA during the 2017 season, behind the wheel of a supercharged Pro Modified entry. Stay tuned, you're gonna love this once we can confirm the details. 

This is one of those rumors we hope comes to pass. Apparently, over the last few seasons, the Top 12 qualifying format has hurt more teams than it helped and with this said, we hear the NHRA is planning to do away with the procedure for 2017. We know of a number of smaller budget teams this procedure affected over the last couple of seasons. 

Multiple sources have confirmed with CompetitionPlus.com but DSR isn't talking about banter suggesting that the dragster driven by Shawn Langdon has been parked. The word on the streets suggests the team hasn't been disbanded but is parked until adequate sponsorship is acquired to run the full tour. As official confirmation is given, we will provide details.

Sources close to the situation tell CompetitionPlus.com that Friday's announcement at John Force Racing will reveal a new sponsor for Courtney Force's Funny Car. We are uncertain if this is a new sponsor in addition to Traxxas or a replacement.

A source close to the situation has told CompetitionPlus.com that tuner Jimmy Prock has left Don Schumacher Racing and and we are told his destination is a team he's very familiar with. We'll have more on this story as it becomes available. 

Floating around the industrial rumor mill, a source has told us Howard's Racing Components are in negations to purchase Midwest Racing Industry's billet crankshaft division. They will build big block Chevy crankshafts, called the Billet Reaper, for everything from bracket racing to truck pulling with cost-effecient pricing under $1400.
