The PDRA
Congratulates Their
2015 World Champions
PITTSBORO, N.C.
(October 27, 2015):
With the close of
the PDRA World
Finals, the series’
sophomore season is
in the books, and
the second set of
champions has been
crowned. The PDRA
thanks its staff,
tracks, racers,
sponsors and fans
for a successful
season and
congratulates the
new champions.
In the PDRA’s
marquee class, NAS
Racing Pro Extreme,

farmer by trade

the championship by
winning first round.

member Badir Ahli
finished second in
points, ending the
season on a high
note by winning the
World Finals.
Taking home top
honors in Switzer
Dynamics Pro Nitrous
was Pro Mod legend
and North Carolina
native Rickie Smith.
Although number two
man in points, Tommy
Franklin, put forth
a valiant effort
towards the
championship by
resetting the PN
elapsed time record,
he ended his chances
with a round two
loss, effectively
handing the
championship to
Smith.
The points battle
was tighter in
Precision Turbo Pro
Boost than in any
other PDRA category.
In a battle of turbo
versus blower
between Kevin Fiscus
and Kevin Rivenbark,
a first round win
for Fiscus and loss
for Rivenbark meant
that the 2015 PB
Championship was
sealed for the
twin-turbo Mustang.
