When Comp Eliminator standout Rodger Brogdon entered the NHRA Pro Stock
wars at the start of the 2007 season, many were surprised at his
immediate success in arguably the most competitive class in drag
racing. Achieving a top-10 standing early in the season led to many a
raised eyebrow as many wondered “just who did this newcomer think he
was?”
While the 2007 campaign ultimately proved to be short lived, it only
fueled the fire within Brogdon when his early success showed this
competitive Texan that he was capable of becoming a force within the
Pro Stock world. For Rodger, the return to Pro Stock wasn’t a question
of when, but became a matter of when the right circumstances would come
together.
Enter fellow Comp racer Steve Kent, owner of Kent Services and
Trucking, a south central US, multi-faceted corporation, that primarily
specializes in service and support for the petroleum industry. When the
conversation late last year between Kent and Brogdon turned to a
discussion of Rodger’s Pro Stock endeavor, a plan began to develop that
has since blossomed into a commitment that will put Brogdon back on
track, beginning with the final third of the 2008 season
