PROCK ROCKET KEEPS SOARING AS AUSTIN CAPTURES NO. 1 QUALIFYING SPOT, MISSION#2FAST2TASTY CHALLENGE WIN AT VEGAS 4-WIDE SATURDAY

 

The Prock Rocket shows no signs of slowing down.

After winning the Lucas Oil Nationals a week ago from the No. 1 qualifying spot in Phoenix, nitro Funny Car driver Austin Prock is well on his way to replicating the feat at the 4-Wide Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Prock, piloting a John Force Racing Camaro, clocked a 3.904-second elapsed time at 321.42 mph in Q3 on Saturday and held on through Q4 to snare the No. 1 qualifying position at The Strip.

JERRY TUCKER CLAIMS HIS FIRST CAREER PRO STOCK NO. 1 QUALIFYING POSITION

 

Having Pro Stock drivers from the Elite Motorsports camp capture a No. 1 qualifying position is not uncommon.

After all, the stout team includes multiple time world champions Erica Enders and Jeg Coughlin Jr. in its ever growing stable.

Well, Saturday it was Jerry Tucker’s time to step into the spotlight for Elite at the 4-Wide Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

HORD PROVES IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY WITH NO. 1

 

Grandpa did it, Dad did it, and now the third generation of the Hord drag racing family has their own claim to fame.

Ricky Hord, the newest generation of the Maximum Effort racing team, scored his first pole position and did so in the Factory Stock Showdown competition at the Las Vegas NHRA Four-Wide Nationals. Hord powered his Chevrolet COPO Camaro to No. 1 qualifier on the strength of his third-round pass of 7.939 seconds at 172.54 mph. The run moved the driver from Orlando, Fla., into the top spot around provisional No. 1 David Janac. Hord will lead a tough Factory Stock field into eliminations in front of No. 2 qualifier Mark Pawuk and his Dodge Drag Pak, the Gatornationals winner and Winternationals runner-up. After he had secured the quickest run of the weekend Hord was all smiles talking about the accomplishment.
