Past NHRA U.S. Nationals Pro Mod winner Lyle Barnett will take on the unique challenge of four\u2011wide, quarter\u2011mile competition this weekend when the American Rebel Light NHRA Four\u2011Wide Nationals roar into zMAX Dragway, April 25\u201127. As the 2022 event runner-up, Barnett is no stranger to the polarizing four-wide format, but a winter packed with seat time in the DI Winter Series has Barnett ready for whatever comes next.<\/p>\n

Coming off a string of strong eighth\u2011mile outings in Tommy Youmans\u2019 ProCharged, late-model Camaro, Barnett is eager to strap into one of Scott Tidwell Racing\u2019s top-flight entries in front of his home\u2011state crowd. Barnett, who previously raced with Tidwell in both quarter-mile NHRA Pro Mod and eighth-mile outlaw Pro Mod stints, will drive the same ProCharged \u201969 Camaro that six-time NHRA Pro Stock world champion Erica Enders raced to a Top 10 finish in the inaugural Drag Illustrated Winter Series points standings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing like 12,000 horsepower thundering four\u2011wide,\u201d Barnett said. \u201cRolling into the beams with three other Pro Mods beside you in the full quarter is its own kind of adrenaline. Charlotte is practically my backyard, and I want to put on a show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barnett\u2019s start to the 2025 season saw him crack the top tier of DI\u2019s new Pound\u2011for\u2011Pound Pro Mod rankings<\/a> on the strength of a U.S. Street Nationals runner\u2011up finish. Now he\u2019s focused on proving that pace carries over to NHRA\u2019s quarter\u2011mile format.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DI rankings mean a lot to our whole group\u2014it shows the work is paying off,\u201d he said. \u201cBut a list is just a list until you back it up on the scoreboard. Running NHRA quarter\u2011mile is the next box to check, and doing it at the Four\u2011Wide Nationals where the lights flash green for four cars at once? Sign me up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two Pro Mod qualifying sessions are scheduled for Friday afternoon and two more follow on Saturday. Eliminations fire off in four\u2011wide format at 1:05 p.m. Sunday. Fans can tune in live on NHRA.tv.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cScott Tidwell Racing has given me a hot rod capable of winning anywhere,\u201d Barnett added. \u201cCrew chief Chris Terry excelled in the Winter Series with this car with Erica driving. This is his first time taking the reins in quarter-mile competition, but he\u2019s up for the challenge. Our partners like MACFAB Beadlocks, VP Racing Fuel, Sander Engineering, PLR, FuelTech, and ProCharger give us everything we need. If I do my job on the tree, we\u2019ll be in the hunt when the money\u2019s on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Charlotte stop marks the third race on the 2025 Congruity HR NHRA Pro Mod presented by LearnEV calendar and Barnett\u2019s first NHRA appearance of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more thankful for the opportunity to compete at doorslammer drag racing\u2019s highest levels,\u201d Barnett said. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to working with Scott Tidwell and his whole team again this weekend. We all want to do whatever it takes to win. I want nothing more than to hoist that Wally in front of the home crowd on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n
