CANNONS PREPARE FOR SECOND ADRL EVENT
April 9, 2009-Lyman, SC Scotty and Scott Cannon are excited about this weekend’s ADRL Hardees Georgia Drags V. “I want to have a good showing for our new Modzilla/Cannonball Racing Team. Benny Alfonso has given us the resources for a first class season, and we want to deliver. We recently tested Mooresville Dragway and tried out some new parts and pieces. On our third pass we encountered a broken piece of Mike Janis’ header on the track and prematurely ended our test session said Scotty Cannon.” Scott Cannon Jr. came back to the pit area with some issues on the car. “When I ran over the track debris we actually broke a strut and put a pretty good size hole in the firewall. I actually let off early on that run and I am sure glad said Scott Cannon Jr.” The Modzilla/Cannonball Racing team has plans to start with the 1967 Firebird that won the 2007 World Championship on the IHRA side. Alfonso is awaiting the delivery of a new racecar. “Benny recently had hip replacement surgery, so we are making him lay low for now. I am sure he will be better soon and will be ready to get behind the wheel of his new car. We’ll just do our best this weekend and take it round by round said Scotty Cannon.” For team updates please visit scottycannonracing.com.
Scott and Scotty Cannon to Join Benny Alfonso Racing in 2009
The Long Island NY based Pro Modified team owned by Benny Alfonso, confirmed today that he has retained the services of father-son team Scotty and Scott Cannon to tune for his Pro Mod operation. Also joining the team will be painter extraordinaire Barney Squires as a fill-in driver.
The two car team will feature Benny Alfonso’s newly repainted Modzilla nitrous-injected 1957 Chevy, which will be driven by Nick Montana, and now a supercharged 1968 Pontiac Firebird being built by Montana Brothers which will be driven by Benny Alfonso. Scott will also race the 1968 Firebird he campaigned last year in the IHRA at the Inaugural Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod event at Virginia Motorsports Park, April 18th, 2009.
The father and son tuning combination will look to send Alfonso quicker down the strip than he’s ever been before.
Right now the plan is to race the team close to Alfonso’s Islip, N.Y. hometown. Look for all of the teams cars at the Inaugural Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod event at Virginia Motorsports Park, April 18th, 2009.
