Just days after the fifth running of the Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod presented by Johnson\u2019s Horsepowered Garage and J&A Service, race officials announced today a new Thursday-Saturday format for the 2025 edition. The 2025 World Series of Pro Mod will take place Feb. 27-March 1 at Bradenton Motorsports Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs successful as this past weekend\u2019s race was, we\u2019re constantly looking for ways to improve the experience for our fans and racers,\u201d said Wes Buck, Drag Illustrated founder and editorial director and WSOPM promoter. \u201cAfter extensive discussions among the WSOPM and Bradenton Motorsports Park teams, we believe it\u2019s time to change up our format a bit and go to a Thursday-Saturday schedule. Thursday and Friday will offer five of the most exciting rounds of qualifying in drag racing, then we\u2019ll go racing on Saturday. We\u2019ll decide a winner under the lights \u2013 in front of packed grandstands \u2013 on Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 2024 World Series of Pro Mod saw Derek Ward in his screw-blown \u201968 Firebird defeat Jim Halsey in his nitrous-fed \u201968 Camaro in a $100,000 winner-take-all Pro Mod final round. This year marked the fifth running of the event, with $500,000 paid out to Pro Mod racers since the first running in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Along with Pro Mod, the 2024 WSOPM included the second annual Mountain Motor Pro Stock Invitational, the inaugural Pro 10.5 Challenge, the Intercontinental Top Sportsman Championship presented by FTI Performance, the Intercontinental Top Dragster Championship presented by FTI Performance, and the Super Pro Shootout. The Chicago-Style Pro Mod Second-Chance Shootout and Top Sportsman Second-Chance Race also gave non-qualifiers an opportunity to race on Sunday. More than 200 race cars were on the property to compete for more than $250,000 in prize money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so proud of what the World Series of Pro Mod has become,\u201d Buck said. \u201cThank you to all of the fans, racers, and sponsors \u2013 especially JHG and J&A Service \u2013 for believing in us and showing their support. It\u2019s my mission to take this deal to another level in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drag Illustrated will recap the 2024 WSOPM in its May\/June Issue, which will feature Pro Mod champion Derek Ward on the cover.\u00a0<\/p>\n
