Nitro Fish Wear owner Kenny Koretsky will continue his sponsorship agreement with NHRA Full
Throttle Series Funny Car leader Tony Pedregon at this weekend's Summit Racing Equipment Nationals
in Norwalk, Ohio.
"I'm going with the hot driver in Funny Car," Koretsky said Wednesday. "I said Tony was a winner
before our last race at Englishtown (N.J., June 14) and he proved it on the track. He has all the
tools to win, and he's a great driver. His team is consistent, and that's what it takes to win the
championship.
"We would like to see Tony win his second straight race with Nitro Fish - and his third straight
overall - on Sunday."
The back-to-back wins thrust Pedregon into the series lead with 818 points. He's 20 ahead of
Ashley Force Hood and 26 in front of Ron Capps.
"We set the bar pretty high after winning in our first weekend with the Nitro Fish brand," said
Pedregon. "The only goal for us now is to try to repeat. Nitro Fish fans had a very positive
reaction to our Funny Car. Kenny and I are excited about extending this promotion and we are
looking forward to this weekend's race at Norwalk."
