Drag Illustrated is proud to announce that Coast Packing has joined the 2025 Drag Illustrated Winter Series as an Associate Sponsor. Coast Packing, led by CEO Eric Gustafson, has long been a supporter of door-car drag racing, bringing both competitive spirit and industry know-how to the Pro Mod community. Although Gustafson missed the first Winter Series event \u2013 the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals \u2013 and will sit out the upcoming U.S. Street Nationals, he\u2019s set to climb back behind the wheel of his Pro Mod for the series finale, the World Series of Pro Mod.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re beyond excited to have Coast Packing on board for the Winter Series,\u201d said Wes Buck, Founder and Editorial Director of Drag Illustrated. \u201cEric Gustafson has always embodied the competitive drive and community-minded ethos that make Pro Mod racing special. Bringing Coast Packing into the fold as an Associate Sponsor further galvanizes our mission to unite racers of all backgrounds under one banner.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Gustafson was away, longtime crew member Cam Hensley stepped in to drive the Coast Packing Pro Mod entry at the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals, turning heads with an impressive showing. Now, with Gustafson set to reclaim the driver\u2019s seat at the World Series of Pro Mod, Coast Packing will once again be at full strength, representing the brand on track and in the pits.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom my viewpoint, the magic of the Winter Series is how it brings everyone together \u2013 No Prep Kings racers, Pro Mod veterans, radial champions, and more, all on a single stage,\u201d Gustafson said. \u201cAs both a business owner and a competitor, that\u2019s exactly the kind of environment I want to be part of. Coast Packing couldn\u2019t be prouder to support Drag Illustrated\u2019s vision of tearing down the walls that divide our sport and creating a truly unified drag racing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coast Packing\u2019s alignment with the series highlights the brand\u2019s longstanding commitment to constant improvement \u2013 a philosophy that resonates both in Gustafson\u2019s business and at the dragstrip. Whether they\u2019re building the best environment for employees and customers, or refining a Pro Mod combination to run at the front of the pack, Gustafson and his team are determined to leave everything better than they found it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to ensure the sport is in a better place than when we first arrived,\u201d Gustafson added. \u201cSeeing the surge in fan interest, the diversity of racers, and the level of competition throughout the Winter Series, it\u2019s clear we\u2019re all moving in the right direction. Coast Packing is thrilled to help fuel that momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n
