RAIN WASHES OUT ROCKINGHAM’S DRAGSTOCK XI PRO MOD RACE

ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – Heavy rain washed out final eliminations Sunday in Dragstock XI at Rockingham Dragway, the seventh of eight races in the PDRA Pro Modified Series. The event will be completed in conjunction with the PDRA season finale, Oct. 10-11, at Virginia Motorsports Park.

“Very disappointing,” Rockingham Dragway owner Steve Earwood said of the outcome. “We had a helluva a race going but, once again, you find yourself at the mercy of Mother Nature. Our crew and the PDRA crew went above and beyond trying to get the track dry, but it seemed like every time we were within a couple minutes of ‘go,’ the clouds opened up again.

“We had a great Saturday night show and I think everyone was looking forward to a great race on Sunday,” he said. “It’s just one of those things you have to deal with if you’re in this business any time at all.”

Before the rain, Gene Hector of Big Spring, Texas, scored a major upset by beating No. 1 qualifier Jason Scruggs of Saltillo, Mississippi in the featured Pro Extreme category. That puts point leader and No. 2 qualifier Bubba Stanton of Potts Camp, Mississippi in the driver’s seat when racing resumes in Richmond, Virginia.

First round racing was completed in every category except Pro Stock when rain forced the first of several suspensions of competition before officials finally pulled the plug on the event at 3 p.m.   view more
