Just saw this article on the Jeg's site.

Team JEGS News: Coughlin Brothers announce new Pro Stock engine business

I see that Roy Simmons is one of the partners, which makes me wonder if he will still be with Cagnazzi racing or just focus on the engine program. The way the article reads, I get the impression that this would be a full time thing for Roy. Does anyone know any more details on this?

well as far as we know he's got the job of tuning enders all season unless there will be some shifting or he wants to be even busier, but none the less great new thing for them as anyone who buys it will be a contender

I wonder if this will be exclusively 500ci NHRA Pro Stock engines, or if they will also work Mountain Motor stuff or 400ci stuff (Australian Pro Stock).

With the announcement that Dave Connally is crew chief on Erica's car, I suspect that means Roy is not involved with Cagnazzi Racing anymore.

Thanks Dave! I did not see that announcement until I read your post. For those of you wanting to read more (as I did):

DAVE CONNOLLY TO TAKE ON EXPANDED ROLE AT CAGNAZZI RACING

Both Simmons and Nick Ferri have left the Cagnazzi operation to become partners with the Coughlins in this venture.

 

[Super Mod]

Didn't say whether they were building NHRA,ADRL. or Australian Pro Stock motors.

Not saying Erica isnt doing a decent job so far, but its kinda like having Jimi Hendrix stop playing and just tune guitars for other musicians.

It wasn't Jeggie's driving that caused the late-season fades at Cagnazzi, was it? Looks like payback time to me!

 

[Ice Bucket]

Does anybody have a current org chart for who has which engine builder(s)Summit, Gray, VC, Mike Edwards? There seems to have been a lot of suffling in Charlotte in the past few years!

 

[Fast Al]

If I'm Cagnazzi, I would be pissed.!

Good way of looking at it

If I'm Cagnazzi, I would be pissed.!

To quote my favorite movie, I'm sure they made him an offer he couldnt refuse
