Todd Morrow Takes Racing Program a Different Directionby Ben Shelton
CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee (June 2) – Todd Morrow has announced that effective immediately he will no longer pilot a Super Late Model entry for Tommy Pope and Joey Phillips.
“I’m extremely greatly for the opportunity that Tommy (Pope) and Joey (Phillips) provided me, but the time has come for me to go a different direction with my racing program,” said Morrow. “Those guys were really good to me, but the team was just no longer a good fit for me, so I’m relocating my focus back to operations out of my own shop.”
Morrow teamed up with Pope and Phillips late in 2014 to pilot the team’s Super Late Model team. The partnership provided mixed results. The biggest strain came in the form of Todd having to split time between his Chattanooga, Tennessee home and the team’s shop, located two hours away in Alabama.
“Work has been really busy for me, and then being away from my family made it extremely hard as well,” notes Morrow. “I thought I could balance the distance and driving for two different teams, but it just didn’t work out the way that I hoped.”
Morrow will now return to the driver’s seat of his familiar #T1 Super Late Model as he continues the development of the Platinum Chassis. He will also continue to pilot Phillip Baxter’s A-Plus Motorsports #8A GRT Crate Late Model at various events.
“I’m really excited to get this first Platinum Chassis on the track because I think there is a lot of potential there,” said Morrow. “The first one is waiting to be assembled, and a second one is already on the jig. Between working on the new car and piloting the A-Plus Motorsports ride I will be plenty busy. I hope to travel a little bit more to race as well.” He concluded by saying, “Best of all though, I’ll have more time for my family.”
Next on the docket for Todd Morrow is a trip to 411 Motor Speedway (Seymour, Tennessee) this Saturday, June 6th for the annual J.T. Kerr Memorial. The $4,000-to-win event will be sanctioned by the NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series. For more information on the event, please visit
