Read this link. Evan throws out the idea that he may be headed out of the Pro Stock business. He has a lot on his plate. It's a done deal between Knoll and Lucas teaming Morgan and Melanie in T/F.

Hey Evan, lost my sponsor...wanna buy a good TAD car with tractor and trailer?

Kevin,

Lost your sponsor? Really? What happened?

Alan

Kevin, you gave them everything and more they could ask for. That news stinks...

Well,I can't comment on it right now....but it is true!

Atleast I got to race......The fans and friends I have met and made are priceless!

Thanks for the support everybody......you my friends are the very reason I was out there...

KB

Sorry to hear that Kevin. I really like the XBalm you gave me at Indy....and it was great getting to meet you after all these years!

I hope someone will see how you promote a sponsor!

Kev - I hope you're Jokering. If not, really bad news - you busted your A$$ to promote them - sorry.
Evan and Pro Stock - amazing that the owner of the 3rd place team realizes he has very little hope of overcoming the KB Racing juggernaut in the final three races and even less hope for 2007. I admire Even's honesty - a wise business person knows when to cut his losses and move on.
Feel bad for Dave and the team - doubtful that a buyer with deep enough pockets to keep the team competitive against a KB 4 car team can be found.
If the four car KB rumor is true, it could force Dodge to pull out and seriously impede other teams' ability to attract new sponsorship. NHRA should have limited ownership of Pro teams to two per owner.

When the costs exceed the amount of return in any class it is time to rethink the commitment. The KB money goes a lot farther than the Summit money alone does which is why that team is so strong. It takes budget and payroll to demand long hours that ultimately produce results. Greg, Jason, Jeff, and the rest of the staff have that type of financial support. Sadly, other teams don't.

True...I'm sure another person as wealthy as Ken Black could throw a bunch of money at a Pro Stock deal and make the same kinds of advancements that the KB stable has in recent years...Hurley Blakeney/Bob Pannella/Scott Geoffrion got real close with the Ford program. But if you are looking for some kind of return on your investment, a Pro Stock team is not where to spend it. It's really a test of egos as opposed to a sound investment that can produce monetary returns.

I'll offer this as an equalizer in Pro Stock...put them on 33x10.5W tires and shorten the wheelie bars. That'll open it up for about 5 years!!!!

John, was great to meet you as well....
Jim, it's true....
Doc, keep buying it as you need it....even if they are gone from my racing...they still have the best product period...

I need to get the guy who sells the "pet rock" to sponsor me....I would bet I could make him happy! LOL

Thanks again all for the support...

Peace, KB

"With Knoll’s comments, it stands to make one wonder if the Torco leader is planning to unload his team and driver Dave Connolly. That is one of the stories that time will tell on."

I don't think that he is necessarily going to "get out" of the business, just maybe heading in a different direction.. I don't really know, but I hope everything works out.

Dude,

Sorry to hear that. You did one hell of a job promoting their product. Definitely made me and my friends believers. Samantha still talks about you and the chap stick smear on the ground from Vegas!

Hoping you'll be able to get out there one way or the other next year. Any company should be happy to find such a straight up dude like you to promote their products with style, class and humor.

Jamie

Dang, Kevin... that sucks. Sorry to hear that the deal went away. You've definitely done an admirable job for them and I've got a drawer full of X-Balm to prove it! Hopefully something else will come around for you soon.
