REIGNING WORLD CHAMP J.R. GRAY WINS IN JBS EQUIPMENT NHRA PRO MOD SERIES AT THE BIG GO IN INDY<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 7, 2026) \u2013 J.R. Gray, the reigning world champion in the JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports, enjoyed one of the biggest moments in his career on Monday at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, knocking off Justin Bond to win the prestigious Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals.<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s event was powered by CFH Superchargers and presented by Shelton Insurance, and marked the eighth of 11 races during the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n

It was also the second of five races in Pro Mod\u2019s Road to the Championship and Gray cashed in on drag racing\u2019s biggest stage, going 5.701-seconds at 252.47 mph in his Al-Anabi Performance Chevrolet Camaro to get past Bond\u2019s 5.759 at 251.72. It is Bond\u2019s sixth NHRA Pro Mod win in his career and his first this season, as he enjoyed a special moment winning Indy for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat final round, it was all or nothing,\u201d Gray said. \u201cI want to thank all the guys for their hard work. We had to swap motors after the first round, and we just kept on digging and came out with this Diamond Wally. It\u2019s been hard-fought for us to get to this point and I\u2019m so grateful for my team to get this win and get a little closer to that No. 1 spot (in the standings).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
