Big news for Quain Stott Drag Racing

Quain Stott Racing had a very productive outing during the ADRL Hardee's Georgia Drags VI this past weekend at South Georgia Motorsports Park, Stott took his Lee Boy Corvette to the Number 3 Qualifying spot in Pro Extreme. "Consistency is the most important thing in this sport, you have to go down the track to go rounds." Stott went down the track every run, with a string of runs in the 3.7 range.

Stott didn't have a easy time in eliminations matching up against Bubba Stanton the # 14 qualifier in the first round of eliminations Stott took the win running a 3.76 against Stanton's 3.86. In the second round of eliminations Stott found himself matched up with Jason Hamstra the #4 qualifier, Stott moved to the next round after running a 3.76 against Hamstra's 4.35. The third round of eliminations proved to be the nail biter as Stott found himself matched up against Frankie Taylor the #2 qualifier, Stott launched with a great light, and had to peddle it, but took the win running a 3.84, and having his competitor Frankie Taylor breaking a blower belt.

In preparation for the final round of eliminations Stott had to thrash to ready the car, "We popped the burst panel and had to service the car in between rounds." said Stott.  "The level of competition out here is absolutely the best of the best, I was a crew guy short this weekend as my long time crew member Dee Bragg was unable to attend this event, I was fortunate to have a couple of guys come out and help me on the car, Rick Blaisdell, and Zeke Wyatt pitched in this weekend along with my other long time crew member Greg Waldrop."

In the final round Stott matched up against 2 time Pro Extreme Champion Jason Scruggs. Stott left first with a .023 light to Scruggs .037, but it was not quite enough to hold off Scruggs at the finish line, Stott ran a 3.752 to Scruggs 3.716 losing by just 2 hundredths at the finish line. "I'm pretty happy even though we lost we had a good event and we took the Lee Boy Corvette to the final round, in my book thats a successful weekend."

After the event Stott sat down with Mel Bush car owner of the 69 Camaro Pro Extreme entry of Driver Tommy D'Aprile and reached an agreement to take on tuning duties for Mel Bush Motorsports creating a 2 car team for the rest of the season. "I'm excited about the prospects of having a teammate and I think so highly of Tommy and his driving abilities that I am pretty confident that we can make this work and have both cars in the top 8 going into the Battle of the Belts in Dallas at the end of the season. said Stott. "At this level of competition every little added bit of information helps, and to have another car to tune will be a lot of work, but I am up for the challenge."
