Championships on
the Line at PDRA
World Finals
PITTSBORO, N.C.
(October 2, 2015):
The world’s quickest
and fastest
eighth-mile drag
racing series is
coming to Virginia
Motorsports Park,
October 22-24. The
Brian Olson Memorial
PDRA World Finals
presented by Mel
Bush Motorsports is
the last event in a
year long battle,
brought to you at
speeds over 200 MPH.
Drivers from across
the world have
fought hard all year
to be in
Championship
contention and a
chance at top dog
bragging rights.
They’ll be laying it
all on the line as
they vie to be the
next World Champion.
In NAS Racing Pro
Extreme continual
front-runner Jason
Scruggs leads the
points, and while
he’s no stranger to
winning, he’s got
his work cut out for
him in Dubai’s Bader
Ahli. Scruggs’
fire-engine red ‘69
Camaro and Ahli’s
midnight black ‘69
Camaro will face off
to see which is the
baddest doorslammer
in the country.
Switzer Dynamics Pro
Nitrous - the class
for nitrous
breathing machines -
also has a tough
Championship battle
on the line.
Multi-time Champion
Rickie Smith and
nemesis Tommy
Franklin have been
trading the
spotlight all year,
but now there’s only
four rounds left to
see who is the top
dog of 2015.
Precision Turbo Pro
Boost has proven to
be one of the most
exciting classes of
the PDRA and
promises to be the
class to watch at
the World Finals, as
less than one round
separates points
leader Kevin
Rivenbark from
number two man,
Kevin Fiscus.

two wheels, Drag 965 Pro Extreme
Motorcycle brings incredible
side-by-side Pro Mod bike action.
Back-to-back Champ Eric McKinney has
already sealed his 2015 Pro Extreme
Motorcycle Championship over Chris
Garner-Jones, but would like nothing
more than to add one more trophy to
his collection.
Also, don’t miss the PDRA’s sportsman
divisions. In Magna Fuel Top Sportsman
Ronnie Davis looks to hold off
reigning World Champion Dan Ferguson,
and in Dart Machinery Top Dragster
Derrik Sholar is going after points
leader Justin Melton. Then watch kids

Huddleston Performance Pro and Top

been crowned the 2015 Pro Junior
Dragster Champion over Tia Tutterow,
but Lexi Tanner and Mia Schultz are
still ready to do battle to see who
will be the 2015 Top Junior Dragster
Champion.
Two unique classes will also be
featured at the World Finals. The
Mickey Thompson 10.5 Outlaws and the
Toefco PowershieldCoatings.com Pro

name with all-out, insane action. All
