With his Rhode Island base, Bob Tasca III has always considered himself “an all-New England kid,” so there was no way he was going to miss competing in his backyard at the NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway in Epping. Tasca’s Mustang Funny Car will fly the colors of PPG as the primary sponsor for the race.

“For NHRA fans in New England, this is the race of the year, and I’m thrilled to be racing in the New England national event,” said Tasca, who made his 2015 debut at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in March. “There are so many Tasca/Ford fans in New England that my family did not want to let them down. I have so many great memories racing in Epping; my goal is to make a few more.

“The Tasca family and the PPG family have been doing business together for more than 35 years,” he added. “PPG was one of my very first sponsors back in my Alcohol Funny Car days, and they have also been instrumental in helping us grow our body-shop business throughout our automotive group. We will soon be opening one of the largest collision centers in New England — a 35,000-square-foot state-of-the-art collision center in Cranston, R.I. — and it will be an honor to represent PPG on the national level in my hot rod.”

Additional sponsorship help will come from NewAutoParts.com, Nitro Fish, and FireAde.
