High Gear Professional Drone Services and Powell Roofing join ScottRod Racing as associate sponsors at the Norwalk round, the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, bolstering the team’s commercial base.
On track, Scott Farley qualifies 15th with the 12,000-horsepower Top Fueler in a tight field, providing a clear baseline for incremental gains through execution and setup detail.
Scott Farley qualifies 15th at Summit Motorsports Park, establishing a measurable performance reference for the team.
The collaboration originates with Tim Bucher, owner of both companies, who formalizes discussions and sets a practical framework for support, accountability, and longer-term alignment.
In the pits, Farley and managing partner Michelle Torromeo deepen ties with Bucher, converting informal conversations into practical guidance and trust under race-day pressure.
Torromeo highlights Bucher’s counsel to stay composed. His observation that she appeared more confident underlined the impact of measured decision-making during live turnarounds.
“Stay calm under pressure” — Bucher’s guidance resonated with Torromeo as the weekend intensity built.
Away from runs, the trio connects over aviation. Despite thousands of MD-11 hours, Farley and Torromeo had never flown a drone until Bucher offered a hands-on introduction.
Brand visibility matches relationship-building. High Gear and Powell Roofing logos appear prominently on the ScottRod Top Fuel dragster, delivering marketing reach and strong community alignment.
Additional associate support strengthens parts turnover, data work, and crew resourcing, tightening weekend execution. That foundation is timely as ScottRod shapes its 2026 season build-out.
Expanded backing from High Gear and Powell Roofing underpins ScottRod’s 2026 preparation on and off the track.
Context matters. Norwalk sits within a demanding NHRA run that continues to reset benchmarks, as reflected in the latest NHRA Nationals winners coverage across classes.
The immediate task is conversion. With Farley’s qualifying marker set and sponsor integration progressing, ScottRod targets cleaner laps and sharper calls to convert stability into performance.
