Larry Morgan Racing
FireAde pro Larry Morgan ready to bounce back in Houston
HOUSTON – Larry Morgan and the FireAde Racing Pro Stock team are ready to return to their winning ways this 
weekend at the O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Spring Nationals.
Following his victory at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte on March 29, returning to the winner’s circle for the first time in nearly nine years, Morgan suffered some atrocious luck in Las Vegas on April 12.
After qualifying in the top half of the field for the fourth time in five races this season, the generator in Morgan’s hauler malfunctioned Sunday morning of the race. That wiped out any electricity to the semi, including computers to help tune Morgan’s FireAde Chevrolet. Understandably, Morgan shook the tires in the first round and fell to Jimmy Alund.
FireAde Racing driver Larry Morgan runs out of luck in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS – The luck ran out for FireAde Racing Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan when he shook the tires in his first-
round matchup on Sunday with Jimmy Alund at the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, giving the win to the Swedish driver.
Morgan was coming off a victory at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals two weeks ago in Charlotte and was running well in Las Vegas, but the generator in the team’s hauler failed Sunday morning, leaving Morgan and his team without power. That meant they had no computer from which to tune his Chevrolet Camaro, and it bit Morgan in the first round.
His Chevy shook the tires almost immediately at the hit, while Alund made a clean 6.695-second, 206.42-mph to move to the second round. Morgan’s official numbers were 12.972 seconds at 65.81 mph as he coasted across the finish line.
‘Lucky dog’ Larry Morgan hopes to hit another jackpot
LAS VEGAS – FireAde Racing Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan feels like he has hit the jackpot at the 
SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, even though he has stayed far away from Vegas casinos.
Morgan is coming off a victory at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals two weeks ago, and he has qualified lucky No. 7 for Sunday’s race.
“I’m having the time of my life right now,” Morgan said. “We’ve got a good sponsor, a good car, good power, and we’re having a good time! Life is good.”
Using Gray Motorsports horsepower, Morgan drove the FireAde Chevrolet to a top pass of 6.641 seconds at 208.30 mph. He’s going for two victories in a row for the first time since 1990 when he won three consecutive races.
FireAde’s Larry Morgan hopes to continue winning ways in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NV – No one is more excited for the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals this weekend at The Strip at 
Las Vegas Motor Speedway than FireAde Racing Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan.
Why? Morgan is coming off a victory March 29 at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte that was as popular a Pro Stock win as any in recent history. The victory was Morgan’s first since 2009 and first since his association with sponsor FireAde and engine supplier/technical partner Gray Motorsports.
“I’m just so excited to have won that race,” Morgan said. “I can’t wait to get to the next one. I wish we had one every day.”

CHARLOTTE, NC – The drought is over for Larry Morgan.
The veteran Pro Stock campaigner scored a victory at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals on Sunday, driving his FireAde Chevrolet to the winner’s circle for the first time since October 2009 in Las Vegas.
“I couldn’t be happier,” Morgan said. “I’ve won a lot of races, but this has to be one of the best ones I’ve ever won.”

Gray Motorsports supplies engines and technical support to Larry Morgan Racing, and FireAde and President/CEO Ron Thames supply the resources for Morgan to go fast.
FireAde’s Larry Morgan gets solid start to Four-Wide weekend in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, NC – After rain shortened NHRA Four-Wide Nationals qualifying to only two rounds on Saturday, 
FireAde Chevrolet Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan got the job done and landed in the top half of the eliminations bracket.
Making his best pass during the final session of qualifying, Morgan’s 6.523 at 213.16 mph secured him the No. 7 qualifying spot for the illustrious event.
“We were light on everything today,” Morgan said. “We wanted to be very conservative and try to make repeatable runs and get everything working. We made changes after the first run, but we still didn’t want to get too crazy because the lane we were in had no rubber in it. It was solid concrete, which meant we couldn’t make the rpm leave a little higher. If we could have done that, it would have reflected in our times if we were on a different lane.”
Local firefighter is FireAde Racing’s first Hero of the Weekend
CHARLOTTE, NC – Fire Service Plus is saluting Unionville (N.C.) Fire Department Capt. John Griffin as FireAde 
Racing’s Hero of the Weekend at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals this weekend. Griffin will be a guest of FireAde and NHRA Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan.
“We are happy to have John as our guest this weekend,” Morgan said. “We’re so thankful for his years of service as a firefighter, and we’re thrilled to be able to recognize him and all the firefighters in the area who do so much to protect us all. That’s what FireAde is all about. Maybe John can bring us some good luck this weekend at the Four-Wide.”
Griffin is a long-time NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series fan who has attended races in Charlotte for many years.
Quick first-round pass not enough for FireAde’s Morgan
GAINESVILLE, FL – FireAde Chevrolet Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan was in the right place at the wrong time in the first round of the NHRA Gatornationals on Sunday at Auto-Plus Raceway.
Morgan had a stellar reaction time and made the fourth-quickest pass of the first round. Unfortunately, his opponent, Greg Anderson, was just a tick quicker to get the round-win.
“We’re trying awfully hard and we want to do well,” Morgan said. “We know we didn’t have a chance with that Ford, and this year we know we have a chance if we get it right. I think there are so many different ways to skin the cat, and we’re doing it the wrong way right now.”
Morgan partnered with FireAde and Gray Motorsports for the 2015 season, and he knows success is right around the corner.
FireAde’s Morgan feeling no pressure heading into Gatornationals eliminations
GAINESVILLE, FL – FireAde Chevrolet Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan didn’t have the best passes in his first two 
qualifying attempts for the NHRA Gatornationals on Friday at Auto-Plus Raceway, but was he worried? Not in the slightest. Morgan then pulled off two good qualifying runs Saturday and is in the No. 11 position heading into final eliminations.
“I’m not doing pressure,” Morgan said. “I’ve kicked everybody’s butt out here but (rookie) Drew Skillman, and the only reason I haven’t is because he hasn’t been racing with me. None of them scare me. I do enjoy what I do and I love the people, so I’m not feeling any pressure.
“I’m going to do the best I can do for everybody who’s associated with me, especially FireAde and all their great people. I want to win.”
FireAde’s Morgan confident of more success at Gatornationals
GAINESVILLE, FL – After posting qualifying efforts within the top eight at the first two races of the 2015 NHRA 
Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season, FireAde Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan is hoping to continue his fast start at this weekend’s NHRA Gatornationals at Auto-Plus Raceway.
“I always look forward to going to Gainesville, though I am looking forward to it more than usual this year with our FireAde Chevy,” Morgan said. “Last year I showed up to every race expecting to qualify and race in the first round. This year I feel like we can go rounds at every race just from the support we have behind us from FireAde, Chevrolet, and Gray Motorsports. It’s a great feeling to have, that’s for sure.”
