Due to the nation’s lagging economy and its effect on the racing industry, David Powers Motorsports is halting its Top Fuel effort with driver Rod Fuller.
Fuller finished sixth in the 2008 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series standings with one victory in four final round appearances, including runner-up finishes at Las Vegas and Pomona, Calif.
The team is selling its Top Fuel and show car program assets, which include two Brad Hadman race cars, 12 sets of cylinder heads, seven short blocks, a 2008 Kenilworth tractor, and Competition Trailers transporter.
“The season is about to start and here I don’t have a ride,” Fuller said today, adding that it would be a “miracle” if he could join another team before the NHRA Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona on Feb. 5-8.
Will, meanwhile, said today that “I will not be driving at Pomona” because her dragster, owned by KB Racing and managed by Kalitta Motorsports, can’t find a primary sponsor.
