Mick Snyder and the Snyder Motorsports Top Alcohol Funny Car Team have renewed their sponsorship with TORCO Racing Fuels for the 2006 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing season. The Team based out of DeMotte, Indiana is coming off a very strong 2005 season where they posted a personal best 5th place finish in the POWERade National points standings.

"Everyone at Snyder Motorsports is very excited to be working with TORCO Racing Fuels again in the 2006 race season. Evan, Brian, Latrell and all the people in the TORCO family have been so good to us. Last year, with TORCO by our side, we posted our best finish yet. We are looking forward to improving on that mark in the 2006 season. None of this would be possible without the help from TORCO Racing Fuels and our other great sponsors," said the 2-time Division 3 champion.

During the 2005 season, the Team, with their unique combination consisting of a Coan Torque Converter and Lencodrive Racing Transmission, earned 3 wins and 1 runner-up finish on the divisional level while on their way to their second straight Division 3 Championship. They qualified number one at all but one of their divisional contests earning the Spitzer Low Qualifier Series Championship.

The Team has continued to improve since 2003 when they first entered the Top Alcohol Funny Car ranks. This year they posted runner-up finishes at Brainerd and Joliet on the National level. In September, driver Mick Snyder became the 23rd person to run a sub 5.6 second pass down the quarter mile. It was first time in history this feat was accomplished with a funny car equipped with a converter.

"We are really looking forward to the 2006 season. We have learned so much over the past two years about the different tracks and our combination. I believe that we will only get better as we continue to run this car on the NHRA circuit. I would like to thank TORCO Racing Fuels for coming on board with this race team for the 2nd year. We are thankful to have the support of such great people and an outstanding company. We will do our best represent them well in the upcoming season."
