While much of the focus surrounding the upcoming Nitro Jam race at Dallas Raceway has been about the track itself, it is the drivers that will walk away from this weekend’s event with the fame and glory that comes with winning a first-time event.
And defending IHRA Pro Modified champion Kenny Lang hopes he is the one hoisting the inaugural Amalie Oil Texas Nationals trophy Sunday night.
Defending Pro Modified World Champion Kenny Lang (Grande Pointe, Manitoba) showed why he is the world champion by knocking North Carolina’s own Smith (King, N.C.) from the top of the charts with a blazing 5.960 elapsed time at 239.48 miles per hour to take the No. 1 qualifying spot in Pro Mod during Saturday’s Castrol "Night of Fire" qualifying at Rockingham Dragway's IHRA Spring Nationals.
Kenny Lang and the NitroMoose.ca Pro Mod Corvette tuned up very nicely for next weekend's IHRA World Championship showdown at Rockingham with a solid effort during the NHRA Jegs Pro Mod Challenge event at Virginia Motorsports Park.
