STEVE TORRENCE NAMED NEW DRIVER OF THE VIS VIVA 'LIVING FORCE ENERGY' TOP FUEL DRAGSTER
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (June 11, 2008) -- Steve Torrence, NHRA's 2005 Top Alcohol
Dragster World Champion, has been named to replace Alan Bradshaw as the
driver of the Vis Viva "Living Force Energy" Top Fuel Dragster owned by
Dexter Tuttle. Torrence will begin his driving duties at the upcoming Lucas
Oil NHRA SuperNationals in Englishtown, N.J. on June 19-22. Torrence
previously drove for Tuttle as teammate to J.R. Todd for the final 3 events
of 2006. The 25 year old resident of Kilgore, Tex. is thrilled about his
return to Top Fuel and Tuttle Motorsports.
"I couldn't be more excited than I am right now," Torrence said. "Having
worked with Dexter in the past, I know the kind of team that he runs and I
can't wait to get back in his car. I'm also excited to be representing
Dexter's sponsor, Vis Viva Energy. They are a new and upcoming energy drink
and I'm a new and upcoming driver in Top Fuel, what a perfect fit."
Dan Pikarsky, Sr. VP Sports and Event Marketing at Attitude Drink Company,
Inc. shared his thoughts on the driver change.
"We are pleased with the job Alan has done for the Vis Viva brand while
driving for Tuttle Motorsports and we wish him well in his racing career
where ever it may take him," Pikarsky said. "We are also fired up to
continue our growth with our new driver Steve Torrence in such a fan
friendly environment like the NHRA. As our growth continues day by day we
know Steve will continue to compliment and grow with our brand Vis Viva
'Living Force Energy'. Steve is a bright, talented, well spoken, young man
who will represent Vis Viva well."
Tuttle is also optimistic about the change.
"Steve really is the perfect choice for this team," Tuttle said. "He has
driven for me before and I was pleased with what he did in the car. He is a
good kid and I'm looking forward to seeing what he will bring to our team."
When asked about the reason for the change?
"Every team has chemistry issues from time to time, and I guess it was just
our turn," Tuttle said. "No matter how good a crew member, tuner or driver
is individually, without synergy it is hard to be successful. We've been
lacking that."
