Scruggs
Taking Time Off, Maintains Support of PDRA
PITTSBORO, N.C. (August 7, 2017): As co-owner of the PDRA,
Jason Scruggs has been in staunch support of the
organization from day one, never missing a race in his Pro
Extreme “Mississippi Missile”. And while he is maintaining
his partial ownership, the upcoming PDRA Summer Nationals
will look a little different as Scruggs announces he is
taking some time off from racing.
“I have a whole lot going on with business and my family
right now and just going to take a break from racing for a
while,” Scruggs explained. “I’m still behind the PDRA one
hundred percent. I want to clear the air and don’t want
any rumors to start flying about PDRA.
“My girls are getting older and we have some other family
stuff going on. Racing requires a whole lot of time to get
the car ready in between races. Even though I won’t be
traveling to events, I still stand behind the PDRA.”
Scruggs will park the “Mississippi Missile” for the
immediate future to focus on family and business, but this
is in no way a final decision on his racing career.
The PDRA forges ahead, continuing to plow the path of a
young series and plan for a bigger and better future.
“We’re working diligently on the 2018 schedule,” told
PDRA’s Bob Harris. “It’s almost complete and should be
announced in the next couple of weeks.”
"PDRA has advanced greatly in the past four seasons and we
have all intention to keep it growing,” added Tommy
Franklin, co-owner of the PDRA. “Jason is a great partner
and I completely respect his decision to take some time

off. As with everyone, it is
always a challenge to balance business, family, and racing. The 2018 PDRA
Tour is already shaping up nicely, and we plan to release a schedule in
coming weeks. We appreciate the support that we get from our great group
of sponsors, racers, and fans. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Tulsa
for stop number six on the 2017 PDRA Tour."
This weekend’s Summer Nationals at Osage Casino Tulsa Raceway Park will be
streamed live on www.SpeedVideo.com. A full event schedule can be found at
