Stott muscles up for Motor City

COLUMBUS, N.C. - 'There is no time like the present' - or so the old proverb says. For Quain Stott and his Torco powered LeeBoy Corvette, the Suzuki Motor City Nationals race this weekend may set his future. So, there is no time like the present if Stott wants to be the first person to win back to back championships since the early 90's when Scotty Cannon owned it between 1991-1994.

With four races remaining, Stott finds himself third in points, just 68 points from Scotty Cannon, Jr. "I think we're just about the same place we were last year," Stott said. With four races remaining in the 2006 season Stott was in third place and trailed Glen Kerunsky by just 17 points.

"We've ran about as well as we did last year, Scotty is just tough this year," Stott added. "Plus, I think he owns the Last Man Standing award (earning 5 additional points on Friday and Saturday night for low ET)."

Cannon has claimed six of the 13 possible Last Man Standing awards.

In the high stakes game of Pro Modified racing, Stott knows that its time to show the muscle of his Fulton powered Corvette. "We're leaning on our parts pretty hard," said Stott. "You hate to do that, but we've got to find every once of horse power, every hundredth of a second. We're not going to leave anything on the table."

Qualifying for the Suzuki City Motor City Nationals begins Friday, August 24 and is followed by two more qualifying rounds on Saturday before Sunday eliminations.

Quain Stott Drag Racing partners with high performance companies like, LeeBoy Equipment, Torco Race Fuels, Richmond Gear, Mickey Thompson Tires, NGK Spark Plugs, Auto Meter, Stroud Safety, Santhuff Shocks, Fulton Race Engines, Stroupe Race Cars and Spartan Crank Shafts.
