Pete Berner currently sits just three points out of first place in the IHRA Elite Motorsports Pro Stock standings.
But that isn’t quite good enough for the defending champ.
With his sights set on a third Pro Stock world title, Berner is
thinking this weekend may be the perfect time to make his move and put
himself on top of the standings. Berner made it to the finals of this
event last year, a key move in his bid for the 2008 world championship
and with this weekend marking the halfway point of the ’09 Nitro Jam
season, what better time to make a move than now.
“We have been very fortunate with this race team, in the past and so
far this year. A lot of that comes from the guys on this team that work
incredibly hard and keep us running with the best,” Berner said. “We’ve
had some curve balls every now and then in trying to figure out our new
engine program, but I am excited with what we’ve put together.
