DINWIDDIE, VA – May 12, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Two races into the 2022 season in the FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by D-Wagon, defending world champ Jose Gonzalez doesn’t believe his talented team has shown its full potential yet.
But the star driver hopes to change that this weekend as part of the NHRA Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park, where Gonzalez will aim to pick up his first victory of his championship defense season in his ProCharger-powered Q80 Camaro. Gonzalez and his team, led by star tuner Steve Petty, have been a step shy thus far, but Gonzalez is confident his team is on the verge of a breakout performance.
“Hopefully we can have some better luck in Virginia, which is truly one of my favorite tracks,” Gonzalez said. “It’s a great facility and we’re going to try to get our confidence back.

We still ran well, but I just hope we have a little better luck because Steve has given me a good car. He’s always on top of his game and we’re going to try to do everything the best we can.”
This weekend’s race, which is the third of 10 events during the 2022 season in the FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by D-Wagon, is powered by LAT Racing Oils. It’s also a longtime partner for Gonzalez, as well as former world champ Khalid AlBalooshi.
In fact, it’s been the product of choice for Gonzalez for more than a decade, helping him become one of the most accomplished stars in the Pro Mod world. He praised the consistency of LAT Racing Oils, allowing Gonzalez to put up incredible numbers on the track. For 15 years, the company has taken pride in its ability to increase horsepower, reliability and longevity using advanced lubrication technology to power the impressive cars in the NHRA Pro Mod category.
