What a difference a year can make. After struggling through 2008, in what would easily be
considered his toughest season in two decades, Quain Stott is back in the groove that led him to
much of the success he has enjoyed during his career. After spending most of 2008 in a research and
development mode, Stott is back to his winning ways - as both a driver and a tuner.
"I was just being hard-headed," Stott admits about the 2008 season. "The stuff we had figured out
on paper should have made the car faster. It just wouldn't work in racing conditions."
The revelation that had Stott removing thousands of dollars parts and more man hours than he would
care to admit to, turned his LeeBoy Equipment team around late last season when he won the first
race of the ADRL season (ADRL begins their season with a race at the end of the calendar year in
Dallas).
Since that time, Stott has compiled an impressive 11-3 (.786 winning percentage) record in the past
4 events, including 1 win and 1 runner-up. The Ford Drive One Summer Drags V in Martin has been
postponed for rain. Stott enjoyed a #2 qualifying position and has already won the opening round
(this event will be concluded in Topeka). The 1963 LeeBoy Equipment Pro Extreme Corvette is
currently second in ADRL points with six races yet to be decided.
While the LeeBoy Equipment Corvette has enjoyed success so far this season, Stott is proving that
he can change hats and tune also. Quain has taken the responsibility of tuning Tim Tindle's Pro Mod
Mustang. Quain has tuned the Tindle-Enterprises Inc. Mustang to wins in both NHRA (Topeka) and IHRA
(Rockingham). Tindle is currently 7th in Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge and 6th in IHRA
Nitro Jam points.
"We're having fun again," Stott said from his North Carolina race shop. "Racing is such a fickle
roller coaster ride. We're going to enjoy it while we can."
Quain Stott Drag Racing partners with high performance companies like, LeeBoy Equipment, Hoosier
