PRI Show Sets Stage For Pro
Mod Unavailing for Craig Sullivan Motorsports
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (December 7, 2015): Craig Sullivan has been actively involved
in motorsports since he was sixteen years old. In the midst of preparing for the
2016 NHRA and PDRA season, Craig finds himself pursing the sport of drag racing
with the same tenacity that drove him as a teenager. The 2015 season for
Sullivan proved to be a successful one by qualifying number one twice within the
Professional Drag Racers Association (PDRA) Top Dragster category and finishing
third overall in the world standings. “Of course, American Race Cars has been
very good to us. Our engine program is by Tony Bischoff at BES Race Engines and
we have the fastest Ford nitrous car in the country. Induction Solutions does
the nitrous on our car. Hyperactive Performance Solutions helps tune and
maintain our EFI program that we’re on. John Meaney at Big Stuff 3, Renegade
Racing Fuels, LAT Racing Oil, and Abruzzi Transmission and Converters are a few
of our great partners. Mickey Thompson has been a big backer with the R&D that
they’ve done with the 3195 tire. It’s put us ahead of the competition, and
Mickey Thompson has been able to gain market share in the Top Dragster category
with how fast we’ve been with the car and how consistent it is," stated
Sullivan.
With always having the desire to go faster, 2016 will bring a first for the drag
racing veteran. Sullivan will field a Supercharged Pro Modified Dodge Daytona at
all PDRA National Events and select NHRA Pro Mod events. This will test the
skills of Craig and his team, but he is always up for the challenge and will be
ready to compete for a world championship again in Top Dragster and a first in
Pro Mod.

Never wanting to just "blend in" with
the rest of the crowd, Craig wanted
something that would set him apart in
the Pro Mod field and that is what he
did by purchasing Chip Kings former
Dodge Daytona and turning to Chris
Davis at Kryptonite Kustomz for the
graphic design. "I didn't want just
another Camaro or Mustang when I made
the decision to go pro mod racing in
2016, and when I decided to buy the
Daytona it was a no brainer to make
this a Richard Petty themed car". Four
different companies submitted
renderings, but in the end it was
Kryptonite Kustomz that stood out from
the rest and has made this car into a
true work of art.
Attracting nearly 35,000 attendees,
the Performance Racing Industry Show
couldn't be a better time to unveil
Craig Sullivan Motorsports Dodge
Daytona at the Kryptonite Kustomz
display (booth 5056) on Friday
December 11th at 10:30 am. "I' am
excited to show off this car for all
of our sponsors that helped put this
thing together, my friends and family,
and for Chris Davis who just exceeded
my expectations with how the design
turned out. Renderings and pictures
just don't do this thing justice and
it is something that you have to see
for yourself" stated Sullivan.
"Along with the unveiling at PRI we
are happy to announce that we have
teamed up with Derrick Beach and Beach
Marketing Solutions to undergo a
complete rebranding over the off
season. Sponsor activation is at the
top of our list as we want to
represent our current marketing
partners and new ones in the best ways
possible. John Treesh had been brought
onboard to be our full time crew
member with an extensive background in
motorsports ranging from stock
eliminator to competition eliminator."
"I' am really excited about this
opportunity that Craig has given me
and I think we are going to be able to
make things happen in 2016, as we have
set high goals to accomplish" stated
Sullivan and Treesh. Joe Oplowski from
Hyperactive Performance will also help
with tuning and Chad Crawford will
handle the superchragers.
