Larry Morgan Racing Issues Statement Regarding 2016 Season

234-LarryMorgan-Sunday-Denver copy
Noticeably absent from the entry list for this week’s NHRA Winternationals in Pomona is longtime factory hot rod racer Larry Morgan, who had a breakout year in 2015. Questions were raised last week when primary sponsor, FireAde, appeared on the flanks of Leah Pritchett’s Top Fuel dragster in testing, with many wondering the status of Morgan’s Pro Stock plans for 2016 and beyond. Morgan, via Geiger Media, issued the following statement this afternoon, providing some insight:
We are currently involved in securing additional sponsorship so we can continue our efforts in being a viable contender in Pro Stock. We were notified Feb. 3 by our 2015 major sponsor that they would not be able to support us like they had previously, so we have had to plan a different strategy at LMR for 2016.
Along with securing additional sponsorship for our race team, our other objective is to concentrate on our custom CNC machine shop.
I have not missed a Pomona race since 1984 and definitely want to continue that streak. We went to three finals last year and won two races, and I believe, “It’s not the size of the man in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the man.” I know I still have one good fight left in me, so don’t count me out!
