Mustafa Buhumaid Tops PDRA Pro
Extreme Points After First Three Events
PITTSBORO, N.C. May 11, 2015: Just three races into the Professional Drag Racers
Association’s sophomore tour and Mustafa Buhumaid has already been to two Pro
Extreme finals, success that has given him the lead in Championship points.
Buhumaid, who is the Executive Director of the NAS Racing Team, scored the first
Pro Extreme victory of the year at the season opener in Ennis, Texas. He
followed that up with a runner up finish at the PDRA Spring Nationals in
Rockingham, North Carolina.
It was just one year ago that Buhumaid attended Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing
School to earn his professional license and begin competing with the PDRA. The
fact that he only has a handful of races under his belt makes his early points
lead that much more impressive. Buhumaid’s promising career is accelerating
quickly, and it’s not surprising when you consider the team’s dedication and
commitment to their racing program. While most teams balk at a 20 hour drive or
3 hour flight, NAS Racing must first conquer 15 hours of air travel from their
Dubai home, which also happens to be the main team sponsor, to New York before
starting the second leg of their trip to the event. This is a tough travel
schedule for anyone, but Buhumaid and team set aside the jet lag and time
difference when they strap into their 2500+ horsepower Pro Extreme machines.
NAS Racing Crew Chief, Al Billes, is certainly no less dedicated than his
drivers, and is widely known throughout the industry for his tuning genius. Also
on board the NAS Racing Team is Operations Manager, Sameer Sami and Badir Ahli,
who pilots the second NAS Racing Pro Extreme car. Their combination is proving
to be a dominating force in Pro Extreme and they have no plans to slow the

momentum anytime soon. They already
have a new Jerry Bickel car and plan
to test it soon as a backup car to the
current ‘69 Camaro that has wheeled
Buhumaid to the points lead.
The NAS Racing Team’s success so far
in 2015 is no fluke, as round after
round they have consistently posted
some of the fastest and quickest times
of the field. There’s no doubt that
Buhumaid will be one to watch as a
major contender throughout the season.
Buhumaid has risen as the early
Championship favorite and it doesn’t
look like he’s ready to relinquish his
points lead any time soon.
