When the 2026 Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod presented by Red Line Oil rolls into eliminations Saturday at Bradenton Motorsports Park, the spotlight won\u2019t shine on just 32 cars.<\/p>\n
Thanks to a new partnership with Outlaw Light Beer, positions 33 through 64 after qualifying will have their own stage \u2013 and their own purse \u2013 in the inaugural Outlaw Light Beer Wild Card Shootout, a race within the race that puts $15,000 to the winner, $5,000 to the runner-up, and $2,500 to each semifinalist.<\/p>\n
Five rounds. Sixty-four cars competing on Saturday. One historic showcase.<\/p>\n
The Wild Card Shootout ensures that unprecedented participation at the World Series of Pro Mod is rewarded, not sidelined.<\/p>\n
Exclusivity has always defined the World Series of Pro Mod \u2013 bringing together the best of the best in one place, under one banner. But record car counts demand opportunity. With 60-plus Pro Mods converging on Bradenton, the Outlaw Light Beer Wild Card Shootout creates meaningful competition for the next wave of elite contenders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event continues to raise the bar,\u201d said Mark Stockseth of Outlaw Light Beer. \u201cThe World Series of Pro Mod is the most competitive doorslammer race in the world, and when you have that level of participation, you need a stage big enough to match it. The Wild Card Shootout is exactly that \u2013 high-stakes, high-energy racing that fans can get excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Outlaw Light Beer, which has built a fast-growing presence in motorsports and entertainment \u2013 including partnerships with country music superstar HARDY and activations across racing platforms \u2013 sees the Wild Card Shootout as a natural extension of its brand identity.<\/p>\n
Independent. Competitive. Built for the bold.<\/p>\n
For Drag Illustrated founder and WSOPM promoter Wes Buck, the partnership reinforces a core philosophy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHistoric participation like this has to be rewarded,\u201d said Buck. \u201cExclusivity is a huge part of what we do \u2013 assembling the absolute best Pro Mod racers on the planet \u2013 but it\u2019s just as important to provide real opportunity. The Outlaw Light Beer Wild Card Shootout makes sure more of these racers get their moment on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wild Card Shootout will run alongside Pro Mod eliminations throughout the day, creating a layered Saturday program unlike anything else in doorslammer racing. From first round to final, drivers in positions 33-64 will battle through five rounds of heads-up competition, culminating in a standalone winner\u2019s circle celebration.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not a consolation. It\u2019s a proving ground.<\/p>\n
With $15,000 on the line and the backing of a national lifestyle brand, the Outlaw Light Beer Wild Card Shootout elevates the competitive ceiling of the event even further.<\/p>\n
Qualifying for the 2026 Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod presented by Red Line Oil begins Thursday, February 26 at 12:30 PM, setting the stage for a weekend that will feature 64 Pro Mods competing on Saturday across two elite eliminators.<\/p>\n
The World Series of Pro Mod continues to expand what\u2019s possible in professional doorslammer racing. Now, thanks to Outlaw Light Beer, more racers than ever will have the chance to race for it.<\/p>\n
