Andy McCoy looking to turn heads in 06 |
Andy McCoy, owner of Andy McCoy Race Cars from St. Louis, Missouri,
will be taking on the best in IHRA Pro Mod competition in the 2006
season. McCoy, a chassis builder by trade, will jump into competition
full swing with his Andy McCoy Race Cars built 1957 Chevy Shoebox.
McCoy will have sponsorship support from Percy’s High Performance
(www.percyshp.com ) a company that specializes in unique products for
the high performance industry.
McCoy states, “ All the people at Percy’s are top of the line people
and produce quality products. I will represent them to my team’s
fullest potential. I use many of their products at my shop on a day to
day basis and their product is second to none”.
McCoy
will compete in his rookie year in professional competition with the
support of his father and team owner Stan McCoy. “My Dad has been there
for me since the beginning. Now he has helped provide an opportunity to
live a dream. I can’t thank him enough. Team partner Tim Branson also
has been a huge inspiration for us. We plan to bring out a second car
in the near future that he will be driving. That will make this venture
only that much more exciting”, said an anxious McCoy.
The AMRC Pro
Mod team will do some pre-season testing before heading to the IHRA
opener in San Antonio, TX. Crew chief Lance Headrick will have his work
cut out for him as he faces the heavy hitters on the IHRA circuit.
Headrick says, “We have the best equipment a team could want. Andy has
built us an awesome car and Jeff Fowler has provided us with the Hemi
horsepower needed to be a contender. Hopefully we can get the
combination sorted out in our pre-season test sessions to be a
contender throughout the season”.
McCoy would like to thank his team members most of all because with out
all their endless hours of dedication and hard work he could not
fulfill this dream. He states, “My brother Ryan of 1320 Media has done
all the graphics and website design for not only my business, but also
the race team. Phil Reichardt III of Phine Designs will be our Cylinder
Head specialist; Chris Clarke (shop foreman at AMRC) will be the Lower
End Specialist, as well as Stan McCoy, team owner, Tim Branson, team
partner, Lance Headrick, crew chief. These guys are the ones that are
making it all happen for our team”.
