<\/figure>\nJust a few weeks after using a perfect .0000 reaction time to win the $125,000 IHRA Pro Mod Mania, Travis \u201cThe Carolina Kid\u201d Harvey returned to the winner\u2019s circle, where he was joined by dozens of friends and supporters. Harvey, who\u2019s also won in NHRA Pro Mod, secured his second career Pro Boost win when he drove the screw-blown Redd Topp Trucking\/Holland Enterprise \u201919 Camaro owned by Vaughn Myles and Eric Holland to a 3.595 at 209.36 in the final round. Maryland\u2019s own Derek Ward chased Harvey out of the gate, but he couldn\u2019t catch him with a 3.625 at 207.75.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my car owners\u2019 home track, and we\u2019ve been struggling every time we come here, so it feels good to finally get a win for them here,\u201d said Harvey, who credited his family and friends, Pro Line Racing, Hoosier Tire, Holland Enterprise, Redd Topp Trucking, LAT Racing Oil, and Chem Source Racing Methanol. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for Vaughn and Eric, I couldn\u2019t race, so to do it in front of their home crowd is awesome. I\u2019m just blessed and I thank God and my crew, Danny [Perry, crew chief], his boys, my son [TJ], all the team. They got in and did everything they need to do. Everything fell our way. You have your days where you can\u2019t do anything wrong, and that\u2019s how it was today. I\u2019m just on a streak and I just hope it keeps going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harvey qualified a season-best third and used a string of 3.61s to reach the final round, starting with a 3.610 at 208.84 over Joel Wensley Sr. and his 3.668. He left on Mike Decker Jr. in the second round and followed through with a 3.616 at 208.81 to Decker\u2019s 3.751 in the second round. Harvey then met two-time Pro Boost world champion Jason Harris in the marquee matchup of the event in the semifinals. The two North Carolina natives have battled each other since the earliest days of their illustrious careers. This one went Harvey\u2019s way as he left first and ran a 3.610 at 208.46 to hold off Harris and his quicker 3.603.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ward, who won the 2024 World Series of Pro Mod, qualified No. 8 in his return to PDRA competition driving his screw-blown \u201968 Firebird. He won his first-round match against Puerto Rico\u2019s Gabriel Andino with a 3.644 at 208.55 to Andino\u2019s 3.657. In the second round, Ward upset Ty Tutterow, the reigning world champion, defending event winner, and No. 1 qualifier. Tutterow made the second-quickest pass of the event, a 3.589, but he was behind from the start, allowing Ward to move on with a 3.648 at 208.52. Ward kept things rolling in the semifinals with a 3.633 at 208.52 to defeat Raymond Matos, who slowed to a 5.731.\u00a0<\/p>\n
PRO NITROUS<\/strong><\/p>\n Fredy Scriba, the 2024 Pro Nitrous world champion, showed no signs of new-car blues when he rolled out his brand-new Robert Hayes-built, Musi-powered \u201cSorcerer\u201d \u201969 Camaro at his home race. The Millersville, Maryland-based driver recorded two of the quickest passes of the event on his way to a second consecutive North vs. South Shootout victory. In the final round, he won on the starting line when 2020 Elite Top Sportsman world champion Buddy Perkinson went red by .011 seconds. Scriba charged to a 3.653 at 207.72 to put an exclamation point on the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s pretty awesome to win at MIR. This is our home track,\u201d said Scriba, who thanked his parents and team as well as partners like Robert Hayes Motorsports, Pat Musi Racing Engines, ProWire, Menscer Motorsports, Carmack Engineering, Ty-Drive, and Liberty\u2019s Gears. \u201cThere\u2019s no words to describe it. If you\u2019re going to win one race all year, this is the one to win for me. This is definitely the one. I\u2019m just really proud of our entire team. They did an awesome job. We got the car ready, never made any laps before we came to the track this weekend. Robert did an awesome job building the car. This car drives like a dream.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Scriba, who qualified sixth, started eliminations with a 3.652 at 206.48 over 2015 world champion \u201cTricky\u201d Rickie Smith and his 3.699. A .020 reaction time and a 3.661 at 206.54 was enough to upset No. 1 qualifier Tim Paap and his 3.659 on a holeshot in the second round. Scriba ended up with a bye run in the semis, which he used to merely take the tree in preparation for the final round.\u00a0<\/p>\n Perkinson, who was chasing his first career win in the class, qualified fourth in his Musi-powered LAT Racing Oil \u201969 Camaro. He cut .00 reaction times in the first two rounds, using a 3.652 at 205.85 to beat Chris Rini in the first round and a 3.691 at 204.45 to eliminate reigning world champion Marcus Butner and his 3.699 in the second round. Semifinal opponent Dane Wood, who earned holeshot wins in the first two rounds, went red by .014 seconds on a 3.667 pass, while Perkinson raced to a 3.657 at 205.88 to earn lane choice in the final.\u00a0<\/p>\n PRO STREET<\/strong><\/p>\n Second-generation PDRA racer Joel Wensley Jr. earned his long-awaited first career Pro Street victory in a final-round match over fellow young gun Scott Kincaid. Wensley, who earned prior round wins on the starting line and at the finish line, led the race from start to finish in his ProCharged \u201914 Camaro. He fired off a weekend-best 3.944 at 197.71 to finish ahead of Kincaid and his 3.996 at 193.93.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis is pretty rewarding,\u201d Wensley said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working at this for God knows how long now. We got our first win on the car a couple of weeks ago \u2013 not on this tire, though \u2013 and I told Josh, my crew chief and brother-in-law, I\u2019m like, \u2018Dude, we\u2019re winning on this tire.\u2019 It\u2019s just been a long time coming. It\u2019s awesome. It\u2019s tough to explain. It really is. We\u2019re jacked up. Patrick [Barnhill] is a bad man on the laptop. The car really came around. I\u2019ve got to thank my future father-in-law [Jerry Morgano] for some chassis advice that really helped us turn a corner this weekend too. DiSomma builds the baddest motor around. We\u2019ve got the right parts, we\u2019ve got the right people, and it\u2019s just working.\u201d<\/p>\n Wensley qualified No. 7 but stepped up on race day. He was one of just three drivers to dip into the 3-second zone in the first round, recording a 3.976 at 197.42 to knock out two-time world champion and home track hero Tim Essick and his 3.998. In the second round, Wensley left on Morgano and ran a 3.960 at 197.88 to win on a holeshot over Morgano\u2019s 3.935, the quickest pass of the weekend. Points leader Blake Denton went red by .002 seconds on a 3.982 pass against Morgano in the semifinals, but Wensley was prepared with his 3.973 at 196.62.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kincaid qualified No. 2 in his screw-blown \u201969 Camaro before advancing past the first round with a 4.025 at 193.68 over a red-lighting Michael Ziccardi. He lifted to a 4.918 at 129.47 on a second-round bye run, then he improved to a 3.986 at 193.60 to defeat teammate Richard Reagan\u2019s 3.984 on a holeshot in the semis.\u00a0<\/p>\n PRO 632<\/strong><\/p>\n Longtime Top Sportsman competitor Jeff Pittman had a breakout weekend in Pro 632, where he scored his second consecutive No. 1 qualifier award on his way to earning his first career win in the class. With power from engine builder Barry Allen and Alan O\u2019Brien\u2019s Greenbrier Excavating & Paving team and tuning by Patrick Barnhill, Pittman set low E.T. of all three rounds on race day. He faced fellow second-year Pro 632 racer Carson Hoyle in the final round, where the two drivers left the line together before Pittman in his Hickory Enclosed Trailer Sales \u201968 Chevelle pulled ahead with a 4.147 at 171.27 to Hoyle\u2019s 4.183 at 168.58.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIn the past we\u2019ve been high qualifier, so we got a bye run in eliminations somewhere at most races. This one, we didn\u2019t get any bye runs and had a lot of tough competition in the lane next to us,\u201d said Pittman, who thanked a large group including Angie Travis, O\u2019Brien, Barnhill, Allen, and the whole Greenbrier team. \u201cThis class is getting smaller but tighter, and I wish we would get more cars, but it\u2019s tough and it\u2019s a lot of work. That\u2019s probably why we\u2019re not getting as many cars. It\u2019s tough to just step out and be super-fast in this deal. There\u2019s some tough guys in this class and they\u2019re only getting tougher. I\u2019m just glad to win. It still is a fight. Thank God Carson was late and I was a little early for myself, so it was good.\u201d<\/p>\n Pittman\u2019s 4.139 at 171.53 in the opening round against Tara Jarvis\u2019 6.158 ended up being low E.T. of the event. He rolled to a 4.156 at 171.23 to hold off Jason Ventura and his 4.228 in the semifinals.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hoyle, who qualified second in his Musi-powered ATI Performance Products \u201969 Camaro, kicked off race day with a 4.170 at 160.42 to send home Maryland\u2019s Gary Hood in round one. He knocked out another local racer, Cameron Gibson, in the semis with a 4.164 at 167.68 to Gibson\u2019s 4.233.\u00a0<\/p>\n SUPER STREET<\/strong><\/p>\n Reigning Super Street world champion and defending event winner Connor McGee added a dominant win \u2013 his second in three consecutive final rounds \u2013 to pad his points lead over championship runner-up Austin Vincent. It was Vincent who tried to stop McGee in the final round, but McGee in his Fulton-powered Brian\u2019s Heating & Cooling \u201990 Mustang threw down low E.T. of the event, a 4.525 at 156.95, to get a decisive win. Vincent moved first before recording a 4.655 at 158.86 in the runner-up effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cLast year, we won this race and it was a big momentum boost in the points,\u201d said McGee, thanked Brian\u2019s Heating & Cooling, Driven Racing Oil, Tub O\u2019 Towels, Bucked Up Energy, Abby\u2019s Performance, and Fulton Racing Engines. \u201cIn every class, it seems to always be this halfway point in the season, things start to turn around, so I\u2019m glad it didn\u2019t turn around for us and it just kept going our way. I think now we have at least two rounds [on Vincent], so that feels really good to just have that consistency and that momentum going into the rest of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n As the No. 1 qualifier, McGee earned a bye run in the opening round, which he used to set low E.T. of the round, a 4.565 at 152.90. He ran a consistent 4.567 at 157.36 in the second round to beat 2025 event runner-up Matt Schalow and his 4.634. McGee then stepped up to a 4.533 at 156.50 over Frank Saffelle III, who slowed to a 6.055, in the semis.\u00a0<\/p>\n Vincent qualified No. 2 in his Vincent Performance \u201988 Mustang and was the second-quickest driver in the first round with his 4.573 at 155.10 over Troy Hill. A 4.647 at 154.40 followed in the second round to beat Kenny Fox and his 5.091. Vincent lifted to a 7.212 at 84.48 on a semifinal bye run.\u00a0<\/p>\n TOP SPORTSMAN<\/strong><\/p>\n Though Mike Keeler didn\u2019t have the quickest car in Elite Top Sportsman, he used a combination of consistency and quick reaction times to walk away with the 660 Man in a final-round battle between nitrous-fed old-school vs. new-school Corvettes. Keeler, the No. 15 qualifier in his Middletown, Virginia-based \u201963 Corvette, ran a 4.099 on a 4.08 dial-in to beat Brian Tiffe and his 3.833 on a 3.81 dial-in. Tiffe was the No. 4 qualifier in Gary Schween\u2019s Ohio-based Schween Motorsports \u201918 Corvette.\u00a0<\/p>\n In Top Sportsman 32, Stafford, Virginia\u2019s Stacy Johnson in his \u201968 Camaro moved first and ran a 4.476 on a 4.47 dial-in to defeat Mike Daymude, who broke out with a 4.239 on a 4.24 dial-in in his Hedgesville, West Virginia-based \u201908 Dodge Stratus.\u00a0<\/p>\n TOP DRAGSTER<\/strong><\/p>\n Two-time Elite Top Dragster world champion Steve Furr raced to his second win in three races behind the wheel of his ProCharged \u201913 American dragster. Furr\u2019s final-round package \u2013 a .005 reaction time and a 3.797 on a 3.79 dial-in \u2013 proved too hard to beat for opponent Linzie Coleman, who broke out with a 3.836 on a 3.84 dial-in in his ProCharged \u201917 American dragster. Notably, Furr took out points leader Josh Duggins in the semifinals, tightening up the championship battle.\u00a0<\/p>\n Providence Forge, Virginia\u2019s Chad Traylor is a past world champion in Top Sportsman, but it was Top Dragster 32 where he showed off his championship abilities at Maryland. In the final round, Traylor cut a quicker light and posted a 4.235 on a 4.23 dial-in in his \u201926 Maddox dragster to win over Brooke Hall Gary, who ran a 4.356 on a 4.35 dial-in in her \u201922 American dragster.\u00a0<\/p>\n The next race on the Red Line Oil PDRA Drag Racing Series tour is the highly anticipated Thunder Valley Throwdown presented by Larry Jeffers Race Cars, August 6-8, at Bristol Dragway in Bristol, Tennessee.\u00a0<\/p>\n This story was originally published on June 28, 2026.
