Sad news, I have been wondering about Evans health, I hope its better news than this. Anyone hear about him personally?

"The Clay Millican team was shut down this past week (April,08) all the crew guys ,including
Lance, Johnny and Clay have been laid off."

Just confirmed on CompPlus......

Late.........Mitch

Torco Racing Fuel's Competition Plus.com - Drag Racing's Internet Magazine - MILLICAN AND CREW RELEASED

Let the speculation begin.......

Looks like bad bad news for those depending on next years return.
Hopefully more information will be released.

Cash flow problems???

Can't be. In his own words " I DON'T NEED ANY MONEY I HAVE PLENTY"

Is Evan on the Forbes list of Billionaires?

Not a bash, just a question.

I feel bad for Clay and his team. I am sure Johnny and Lance will land somewhere pretty quickly given the need for crew chiefs in the business. It is a shame this Torco deal has had negative impact on so many teams.

this was sent to my myspace account from Evan's account.

Subject: Evan Knoll's update.
Body: If all is well Evan should be out on Monday.


Prayers are needed for sure. thanks bw.

I guess he had more surgery. I hope everything went well.

Having plenty of money for personal use vs business use I think is quite different and I do believe the racing money was from the business kitty.

From my understanding, Evan has run into some new, very serious health issues and gone in for further surgery. Hopefully it went well and he will be home soon. In any case, he gave up control of Torco to Latrell until he regains his health. Things are a bit up in the air, so it was likely decided to release Clay and his team from their contracts so they could pursue other options for themselves. While these matters have put some teams in a bind, please remember someones health and life are involved here. Evan has helped an awful lot of people out in the past and could really use everyone's prayers and support now.

Why is it when there is any kind of shake-up in the management of a company it spells doom for NHRA sponsorships!?!?

Remember the Snake Racing's Miller Lite deal became history when a new marketing manager took offer and Miller Brewing.

The situation at Torco seems similar to me.
