"All seven of my wins have come with Rob Flynn and Lee Beard," Fuller said. "Rob and I have developed a great friendship over the past few years; he's like family to me. This is a tough day, but I'm excited about the future. We nearly won the championship last season and in many eyes were the 2007 NHRA champions. I wish Rob and Mike (Guger) the best of luck. We experienced a lot of great times together, but we're focused on finding a top-notch tuner that can keep this Caterpillar car a championship contender for many years."
