RIVENBARK OPENS JBS EQUIPMENT NHRA PRO MOD SERIES ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP STARTS WITH WIN IN NORWALK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Media Box of the Pro Mod Final Round from Sunday: PRO MOD MEDIA BOX<\/a><\/p>\n

NORWALK, Ohio (June 28, 2026) \u2013 Kevin Rivenbark opened the JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports Road to the Championship with a victory on Sunday at Summit Motorsports Park, knocking off Billy Banaka in the final round as part of this weekend\u2019s Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s event was the seventh of 11 races in the category during the 2026 campaign and this weekend\u2019s race is powered by Polaris and presented by Jan-Cen Motorsports.<\/p>\n

It is also the first of five playoff races and Rivenbark started strong, going 5.714-seconds at 251.53 mph in the final round to hold off Banaka\u2019s 5.716 at 252.33. Rivenbark\u2019s first victory this season and second in his NHRA Pro Mod career couldn\u2019t have come at a better time, as he moved to ninth in points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t won this (Wally) since Phoenix of 2024, but we never stop,\u201d Rivenbark said.. The guys are restless. They just keep going and going. We\u2019ve had some bad times and some tough times, but hopefully we\u2019re on the right road. We knew we had a better car than what we showed in qualifying.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis weekend was really a shakeup. We\u2019re hoping to get going for the Road to the Championship and hopefully both of us (with teammate Stan Shelton) will come out on top or at least one and two.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivenbark, who qualified 13th, knocked off past world champion Mike Castellana, Derek Menholt, who came into the race with the points lead, and Lyle Barnett to reach the final round.<\/p>\n

Banaka advanced to the final round with wins against Alex Laughlin, Justin Bond and Mike Thielen.<\/p>\n

Menholt stayed in the points lead, but has just a 13-point advantage over Mike Stavrinos. Banaka is third, just 15 points out of first.<\/p>\n

The JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Series presented by Elite Motorsports returns to action on Sept. 2-7 as part of the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
