David Evans Joins Butch Mock/Rick Mast's 1998 NASCAR Winston Cup Effort

11 November 1997

MOORESVILLE, NC - Butch Mock Motorsports has hired David Evans to head their 
in-house engine program for the 1998 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season. 

The 34-year-old veteran engine builder was named the 1988 Engine Builder of 
the Year and joins Butch Mock Motorsports after beginning the season with pe2 
and owner/driver Kyle Petty. Evans spent 1996 with Team Sabco and prior to 
that worked with Rusty Wallace from 1983-1995 at Blue Max Racing and then 
Penske Racing South. 

Team owner Butch Mock has used engines built by Pro-Motor Engineering for 
the past three-and-a-half seasons but feels it will benefit his team and 
driver, Rick Mast, to have one individual devoting full attention to one 
operation.
