PEDREGONS AND TOYOTA

Much attention is given to the recent announcement by the Pedregon Brothers regarding their use of Toyota support vehicles. Currently their association with Chevrolet is limited to the supply of a new body for their Funny Cars. Would they love to be a part of the Toyota team? Our source close to the program says yes. Currently the Toyota program is in the hands of Alan Johnson but that's not to say the Pedregons aren't trying to get a foot in the door. An insider tells us the support vehicles program, while a small one, is just one step toward their eventual goal.
