When he brings his race car to Gulfport Raceway in Mississippi for the King of the Coast race April 9-10, Alabama drag racer T.J. Pruitt will have a new nickname. They’ll call him ‘Big Money.’ Pruitt, an electrical engineer with a degree from Auburn University, lay claim to the new moniker when he won the $10,000 winner’s prize in the Super Pro class of the Super 7 Series race at Montgomery Motorsports Park in Alabama in March. It is the richest race Pruitt has ever won and he won it on Goodyear tires.
