For the first time in the 21-year history of the series, the Fuel Tech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by D-Wagon will hold a specialty shootout race during the 2022 campaign, NHRA officials announced Tuesday.
The D-Wagon NHRA Pro Mod Shootout will take place at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals, during the series’ second visit to the Brainerd International Raceway Aug. 18-21. Scheduled to be held on Friday and Saturday, the shootout will give 16 standouts in the Fuel Tech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by D-Wagon the opportunity to win the $10,000 prize.
“D-Wagon couldn’t be more excited to bring the first-ever shootout to NHRA Pro Mod,” Kruckeberg Industries Owner and CEO/CVO Craig Kruckeberg said. “When the idea was presented to us, we thought this was a perfect opportunity to not only get extra attention for D-Wagon, but also provide extra excitement into an already great NHRA Pro Mod series. It’s going to be an event you can’t miss.”
The top 16 in points following the NHRA Pro Mod stop event at Topeka will be eligible to compete in the D-Wagon NHRA Pro Mod Shootout at Brainerd. If one or more of the top 16 don’t attend the race in Brainerd, the next-highest in the points standings will be eligible to compete in the shootout, which will have a total purse of $25,000.
“It’s great to see D-Wagon’s enthusiasm for Pro Mod racing and for them to showcase that excitement with this new D-Wagon NHRA Pro Mod Shootout,” NHRA Vice President of Racing Administration Josh Peterson said. “This will be a big opportunity for the standout NHRA Pro Mod teams to compete in a shootout event in front of a huge amount of race fans in Brainerd, and I know they’re all looking forward to putting on a show.”
The parity in the class has been terrific this year, we’ve already seen a lot of tremendous racing through two events, and we’re excited to see NHRA Pro Mod continue to grow. – Josh Peterson, NHRA Vice President of Racing…
