<\/p>\nIn a groundbreaking move for the drag racing industry, Clyde Scott, renowned Pro Mod racer and owner of Xtreme Raceway Park in Ferris, Texas, has officially acquired RJ Race Cars and Quarter-Max Chassis & Components. The purchase marks a significant milestone, bringing one of drag racing\u2019s most respected chassis builders under the stewardship of a passionate racer and seasoned entrepreneur.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrag racing community, this is the time to listen, focus, and pay attention!\u201d Scott declared. \u201cQuarter-Max and RJ Race Cars have been sold, and I couldn\u2019t be more excited to help advance this already great company. The moment I walked into the facility, I knew this was a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott\u2019s journey into ownership reflects a lifelong dedication to the sport. Known for building one of the premier eighth-mile tracks in the country, Scott has always prioritized the racer\u2019s experience, a principle he intends to carry into this new venture.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince 2017, my focus at Xtreme Raceway Park has been delivering the best racing environment possible,\u201d Scott said. \u201cNow, with the support of my family, friends, and the incredible team at XRP, I\u2019m ready to fulfill another dream by leading RJ Race Cars and Quarter-Max into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 1987 by Rick Jones, RJ Race Cars has long been a leader in drag racing chassis technology. From their state-of-the-art facility in Galesburg, Illinois, the company has produced championship-winning cars for NHRA, PDRA, and beyond. Over the years, RJ Race Cars and Quarter-Max have been synonymous with innovation and quality.<\/p>\n
Rickie Jones, co-owner and son of Rick Jones, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Scott. \u201cThe entire team at Quarter-Max and RJ Race Cars, including the Jones family, have never been more excited about the future,\u201d Rickie said. \u201cSince our founding, our customers have won over 42 World Championships. With Clyde\u2019s vision and passion, we\u2019re confident we\u2019ll continue that tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott, for his part, has no plans to alter the winning formula. \u201cThe Jones family and their incredible team will remain on board, continuing to operate the business as they always have,\u201d Scott said. \u201cMy goal is to build on their success by streamlining production and getting more quality cars into racers\u2019 hands faster.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott\u2019s acquisition comes at a time when the demand for top-tier chassis and components is higher than ever. \u201cThe quality of an RJ car is second to none,\u201d Scott noted. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like it in the door car industry, and that\u2019s why they\u2019ve been in business for 37 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also took a moment to reflect on the personal and professional support that has made this journey possible. \u201cI want to thank my wife, Amanda, my kids, and my best friend, Gary Lynch, for standing by me every step of the way. This wouldn\u2019t have been possible without them and the loyal XRP customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the drag racing community buzzing about the news, Scott\u2019s move is poised to have a lasting impact. \u201cThis is some of the biggest news in drag racing in a long time,\u201d Scott said. \u201cWe\u2019re ready to take RJ Race Cars and Quarter-Max to the next level, and I can\u2019t wait to see what the future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n
As drag racing\u2019s next chapter unfolds, one thing is clear: under Clyde Scott\u2019s leadership, the legacy of RJ Race Cars and Quarter-Max is in good hands.<\/p>\n
