PATRICK'S 10.5 TIRE CHALLENGE

Sources on the inside tell us that 2007 IHRA Pro Stock world champion Robert Patrick will have his hands full in testing the day after the IHRA World Finals in preparation for the ADRL event in Dallas, Tex., this weekend. After much speculation by other sources, Patrick will not run in the Pro Nitrous division but instead the Outlaw 10.5 cars with his 822-inch Ford. Could he be preparing for a full ADRL 10.5 championship pursuit or could this be something as a time filler before he begins a 500-inch NHRA Pro Stock return?
