Passon’s racing career in jeopardy

The Mucca Rosso driver, John Passon, could have prematurely ended his racing season at Cal Speed on Sunday, April 22nd. It is reported that Passon ignored repeatedly requests from the Mucca Rosso Team at a PKC event to pull over due to engine concerns but Passon denied it.

“No one gave me any warning and our radio was working perfectly fine. I was pushing as hard as I could because that is how I race. Sure, I heard a strange engine noise but after I reported it to the team over the radio, they told me that they could not see any issues on the telemetry so I kept going and the engine just expired in the end. I can not take any responsibility for it.”

With one of the smallest budgets in the series, Mucca Rosso is certainly concerned with the latest event. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Mucca Rosso may be looking at an option to replace John Passon in favor of a driver that could bring sponsorship funds to the team. Consequently, Passon would be found immediately out of a ride, which would be disappointing considering Passon’s very respectable performances in the first three rounds of Tri-C TAG MASTERS Championship.
