CONGRUITY NHRA PRO MOD SERIES TO HOLD SRI PRO MOD SHOWDOWN IN INDY
INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 23, 2024) – Already the biggest event of the season in the Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by LearnEV+ for a variety of reasons, SRI and Finish Line Consultants are pleased to announce the SRI Pro Mod Showdown will also be contested during qualifying as part of the Toyota NHRA U.S. Nationals on Aug. 28-Sept. 2 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
The marquee event on the NHRA Pro Mod schedule, The Big Go also serves as the first race in the category’s four-race “Road to the Championship” playoffs and the special SRI Pro Mod Showdown adds even more to the weekend, which features a huge collection of Pro Mod standouts.
The SRI Pro Mod Showdown will take place during qualifying, with the driver who puts together the best E.T. average during qualifying receiving $7,500 from SRI, continuing the strong recent momentum in the NHRA Pro Mod category.
“SRI is thrilled to be a part of the Showdown at the 70th Toyota NHRA U.S. Nationals. Pro Mod is so exciting for the fans to watch, and we love that the class will be at our home track. SRI is your go-to destination for all things racing and street performance, offering a wide range of products, including chassis, engines, suspensions, supplies, raw materials and more. Drag racing enables us to showcase our products and we look forward to being at Indy in 2024. We hope everyone stops by the Pro Mod pits to say hello,” said Chad Elliott, SRI Director of Technical Sales/Engine Components. |
