<\/p>\nRight Trailers expanded its racing program with the acquisition of a 2023 Mustang GT500 previously owned by Stott\u2019s Ford. The car was built by renowned Jerry Haas Race Cars and is powered by a Vortech supercharged, all billet, big block Ford. The high-powered machine will compete in the NHRA Right Trailers\u2019 Top Sportsman class.<\/p>\n
Michael Scott, President of Right Trailers, recently purchased the Mustang and has selected life-long drag racer Chris Roe to pilot the car in competition. Roe is also Scott\u2019s business partner in their new venture, Defy Trailers. The car will carry both the Right Trailers and Defy Trailers banners.<\/p>\n
Defy Trailers is a new business in development by Scott and Roe focused on manufacturing<\/p>\n
high-end, professional-level, liftgate race trailers. The company aims to deliver a superior and fully engineered trailer for serious race teams. Scott and Roe plan to launch Defy Trailers later this year.<\/p>\n
U-Dump has also signed on as a partner on the Mustang for the 2026 race season. U-Dump is a dump trailer manufacturer based in Ocala, FL. Right Trailers is proud to offer quality U-Dump trailers to its customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cWe are appreciative and excited to partner with U-Dump trailers and represent the brand on our Right Trailers\u2019 Top Sportsman Mustang,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n
The 2023 Mustang GT500 is well-known for its performance in the Top Sportsman class. With Roe behind the wheel, the team aims to build on that reputation while introducing the Defy brand to fans and racers across the drag racing community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the nicest car we\u2019ve ever owned and we\u2019re excited to now have it in the Right Trailers stable,\u201d Scott said. \u201cChris Roe is a Ford guy and is perfect to have behind the wheel. The car\u2019s also a fitting platform to campaign the Defy Trailers\u2019 brand.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an honor to be the one to drive this car,\u201d Roe said. \u201cWe are excited to represent Right Trailers, Defy Trailers, and U-Dump Trailers while campaigning the GT500 in competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
The newly acquired Mustang GT500 will debut with its new livery after preparations arecomplete. A tentative schedule will be released soon.<\/p>\n
