Don Prudhomme Racing announced today the resignation of driver Ron Capps.
“Our plan is to continue racing with Tommy Johnson Jr. and Larry Dixon next season, while also
considering other opportunities that would allow us to field either an additional Top Fuel
dragster or Funny Car in 2005,” Prudhomme said.
“My relationship with Ron (Capps) is more than just a driver/owner relationship. More
importantly, we are very close friends and will remain that. I wish Ron all the success at
whatever venture he decides to pursue.”
“This was a very difficult decision for me to make because Don and Lynn Prudhomme have been more
than just an employer, but rather a family to me,” Capps added. “I share those same sentiments
for those at U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company and the entire Skoal Racing team. Being teamed with
both Larry (Dixon) and T.J. (Tommy Johnson) was more than I could have ever imagined as a
driver.
“Snake took a chance on me eight years ago and I owe every bit of that success to him and the
Prudhomme family. My personal relationship with Snake has and will continue to remain solid at
and away from the race track.”
Don Prudhomme Racing is headquartered in Vista, Calif., with a second shop – Don Prudhomme
Racing, Brownsburg, Ind. – serving as the base for racing operations. Drivers Larry Dixon and
Tommy Johnson Jr. complete the roster of Don Prudhomme Racing drivers and proudly represent such
racing partners as Miller Brewing Co., U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co., Lucas Oil Products and
Raybestos.
