I want the '67 Power Wagon. All y'all can have the rest.

 

[TSK]

I’d like to have the 2017 Hellcat.

Seems kind of drastic. I know he's successful but since he's sponsoring his own TF car, maybe he decided his collection was worth a championship.
Wonder if Burnyzz's is the primary sponser for all the races?

 

[z28]

Probably has the reserve set pretty high

Chuck, have you heard anything about the Monster sponsorship? That was Brit’s deal and I would think she would want it to continue?

I sure hope he doesn’t regret this decision sometime down the road.

It was Brit's deal but she's no longer driving. Doubt she has a whole lot of say in it.

Mecum is usually a no reserve auction.

 

[J. S.]

This seems odd. Didn't he sell his company a year or two ago for 100 million dollars? Is he not able to squeak by financially with all that $$? Why would he need the money from selling this car collection? He's still a young guy. People usually sell their car collection when they're old. I guess maybe he's tired of looking at them. It does seem the Force deal is a buy-a-ride (nothing wrong with that) since the company he supposedly sold is sponsoring the dragster?

Mecum is usually a no reserve auction.

Barrett jackson is no reserve generally

Mecum is usually a no reserve auction.

Mecum’s auctions do have reserves.
The Barrett-Jackson auction is no reserve.

Maybe it has to do with JFR having Chevrolet sponsorship.

Do you mean Burnyzz's Speed Shop? He still own's it.

Harve I have always heard that ALL marketing partners are returning in 2026 some in a smaller scale than before but all are loyal to JFR.

He mentioned on his Facebook page he was going all in with JFR/Chevy, selling his MOPAR collection

 

[stitcherbob]

Well, as a Mopar collector, he's jinxed his championship chances..... all nitro cars are Hemis after all.
"It's not nice to mess with Mother Mopar..."

 

[Under_Pressure]

If he is truly selling his collection to appease corporate sponsors, that is really bizarre. I'm pretty sure many motorsports figures who have sponsorship relationships with various manufacturers are known enthusiasts of competing brands' products in their private lives. Heck, many well-known drivers and team owners in various motorsports disciplines have owned dealerships for brands other than the one they represent on the track. My hope is that this is just something he wanted (or, God forbid, needed) to do anyway and is using the "Chevy team player" line as a bit of spin for the marketing folks, because why not?
