Pro 10.5 racers will have more on the line than ever when the class returns to the Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod presented by Red Line Oil, Feb. 26\u201328 at Bradenton Motorsports Park, where a lucrative $25,000 winner\u2019s purse headlines the Pro 10.5 Challenge. In addition to racing for one of the richest payouts in class history, competitors will also decide the inaugural DI Winter Series presented by J&A Service Pro 10.5 champion, with the champion earning a $5,000 bonus and a massive custom baseball bat from Victus Sports as a one-of-a-kind trophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a big moment for Pro 10.5,\u201d said Wes Buck, Drag Illustrated founder and Winter Series promoter. \u201cWe\u2019ve watched the class bring incredible energy and car counts to the World Series of Pro Mod the last two years, so bringing them into the full three-race Winter Series for the 2025\/2026 season felt like the natural next step. Rewarding the drivers who\u2019ve supported the series by adding a championship element takes it to the next level. Big thanks to Tom Kasper, Kasper Performance Edge, and everyone at Victus Sports for helping to make it all possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ohio\u2019s Bill Lutz raced to the $10,000 Pro 10.5 victory at the Winter Series opener, the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks, when he defeated Super Bowl champion Fletcher Cox in the final round. Outlaw 10.5 veterans Jerry Morgano and Nick Agostino faced off in the Pro 10.5 final round at the second race, the U.S. Street Nationals presented by M&M Transmission, with Morgano edging out Agostino for the $10,000 prize.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Heading into WSOPM, Agostino is the points leader in his turbocharged, small-block-powered \u201cCannoli Express\u201d \u201969 Camaro. Morgano and his \u201cCopperhead\u201d \u201902 Mustang Cobra, also powered by a turbocharged small block, aren\u2019t far behind in second. Cox is third with his nitrous-fed \u201cTraining Day\u201d \u201969 Camaro, while Lutz and Joel Wensley Jr. round out the top five in points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Winter Series Pro 10.5 will collect a $5,000 bonus along with a custom, five-foot-long baseball bat produced by Victus Sports. Victus designs and handcrafts pro-quality wood bats for players of all ages, from Little League beginners to dozens of MLB superstars. Victus has also provided custom, regulation-sized bats for the No. 1 qualifiers in Pro Mod and Pro 10.5 at the Snowbirds, the U.S. Street Nationals, and WSOPM.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cVictus sponsored my son, Ty, when he played baseball in school and they\u2019ve continued their support when he decided to focus on racing,\u201d said Tom Kasper, Pro 10.5 class liaison and car owner. \u201cThe baseball bats make for a really memorable trophy that stands out when you hang it on the wall or put it in your trophy case. I\u2019m looking forward to presenting this massive bat to the first-ever Winter Series Pro 10.5 champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Series of Pro Mod will also crown a $150,000 Pro Mod winner, as well as the 2025\/2026 Winter Series Pro Mod champion. The event lineup also includes True 10.5, Lil Gangstas, and much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
