Rickie Jones and his Quarter-Max Pro Stock team have entered into a two-race partnership with Elite Motorsports, beginning at this weekend’s NHRA Las Vegas Nationals and extending through the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals in Pomona in two weeks. Elite Motorsports (www.DallasMotorsports.net) is a leader in sales and purchases of complete race operations as well as a major dealer of race cars, trailers, haulers, engines, and more. It is also the exclusive dealer of RJ Race Cars.

“We’re excited to have Elite Motorsports onboard for Vegas and Pomona,” said Jones. “They run a quality operation, and they are great people to work with. Elite Motorsports is a one-stop shop for many of your major racing needs. Richard Freeman [owner of Elite Motorsports] has really made a presence for himself within drag racing over the last few years, and I’m happy to have Elite Motorsports along for these last two events.”

Said Freeman, “We’re proud to sponsor Rickie Jones. He is a talented young driver with an up-and-coming team, and I am glad we can be a part of that for the remainder of the 2009 season.”

Jones opted to take a break from the tour following his appearance at the NHRA Carolinas Nationals in September. After his three-race hiatus, Jones is looking forward to getting back behind the wheel.

“I’m really glad that we are coming back for the final two events. We haven’t been out since the Charlotte race, but we’re ready to jump back in and finish the season out strong. Hopefully, with the help of Elite Motorsports, we can do just that.”
