Wed, 2006-10-04 16:52
IHRA Pro Stock driver Rick Jones will sit out Rockingham in order to tend to his chassis business.
“It has been so busy lately with all of the things that I have going on at work and racing. And with more and more new customers in IHRA and NHRA, it is in my best interest that I sit out right now and have Mike drive the car” says team owner Rick Jones. “We have been really close to Mike and his family for many years and I think he is a really good driver and deserves this shot. Mike has driven Top Sportsman, Comp Eliminator and NHRA Pro Stock Truck & Pro Stock cars over the years.”

Mike has driven Top Sportsman, Comp Eliminator and NHRA Pro Stock Truck & Pro Stock cars over the years.”
Rick goes on to say, “We are also looking at the possibility of having two cars next year. I would like to see my son Rickie start driving this winter. My whole family and I enjoy racing, and I enjoy driving, but I really prefer to focus on the R&D for our new cars and products. I have lately realized that there are more important things for me to do than drive a race car. I am not hanging up my helmet for good; this is just another chapter in my life!”
“I welcome the opportunity to drive the RJ Race Cars Quarter-Max Cobalt” says Mike Corvo, Jr.
“I've already been fitted for the car and it is one bad dude. I mean it's 322 cubic inches larger than the NHRA Pro Stock I last drove! I guess that's why they call it Mountain Motor Pro Stock. Our plan is to spend a few days testing before we head to our first race in Rockingham. I'm excited to be driving for Rick again, I drove his Pro Stock Truck in 2001 and I really learned a lot about what it takes to race competitively. For me it's easy to see the future when you've had a good look at the past. I see us winning races and competing for an IHRA Pro Stock World Championship in 2007. Rickie wants to start driving this winter too, so Rick and I will also work together on getting his Pro Stock driving career started.”
