Our goal was to reset the standard in year one, provide proof of concept, and now we\u2019re pouring fuel on the fire. We crowned Ken Quartuccio as our first champion back in March and I literally can\u2019t wait to bring all the baddest drag racers on the planet back to Bradenton to make more memories starting at the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most exciting part of all this is that we\u2019re truly just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Winter Series will once again feature invitation-only 32-car fields in the Pro Modified class, contested on the outlaw eighth-mile with the Pro Mod ruleset that\u2019s produced the closest competition in drag racing history. Random chip draws, world-class event production, and massive payouts have made the Winter Series the can\u2019t-miss destination for drivers and fans alike during drag racing\u2019s traditional offseason.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Alvarez_Victor_WSOPM-Luke-Nieuwhof-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82899\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all about putting on a show and giving fans something to remember,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Victor Alvarez<\/strong>, owner of Bradenton Motorsports Park. \u201cLast year was next-level, but we\u2019re not slowing down. We\u2019re making major improvements here at BMP \u2013 new infrastructure, upgraded amenities, and more room to move \u2013 and we can\u2019t wait to show it all off when the circus rolls back into town.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing like hosting the baddest racers in the world right here at our house. The energy, the people, the racing \u2013 it\u2019s a vibe. I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again: there\u2019s no better place to be in the winter than Bradenton Motorsports Park.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals celebrating its 54th year, the U.S. Street Nationals continuing to draw record-breaking entries, and the World Series of Pro Mod growing into the richest and most prestigious Pro Mod race on the planet, the Drag Illustrated Winter Series has solidified itself as a cornerstone of modern drag racing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a shared vision here between us and Vic,\u201d added Buck. \u201cWe\u2019re both hell-bent on raising the bar and creating something truly special.
