PDRA Live Feed Special Segments Begin at Rockingham

PITTSBORO, N.C. (April 1, 2016): The PDRA Spring Nationals will be the launching point for two new segments on the PDRA Live Feed. In addition to the very popular Quarter-Max Top End Zone and roaming pit interviews, the PDRA will now feature Andy McCoy Race Cars Ask the Pros and Musi Racing Engines Musi Minute.

Ask the Pros will be featured at every race, beginning with the Spring Nationals at Rockingham Dragway, April 7-9. Andy McCoy will offer an expert look at anything from chassis function to turbo performance. Each event, McCoy will choose one fan question to answer on the Live Feed. Fans can submit questions directly through a button available on the PDRA home page and members of the champion Pro Boost Pee Dee Fleet team, including Russell Miller, Mike Kopchick, and more, will answer questions in-depth from the pits for the ultimate fan interaction.

Andy McCoy Race Cars specializes in the fabrication of high-performance Pro Modified and Top Sportsman racing components from chassis to competition-ready vehicles. Andy McCoy combines dedicated craftsmanship with the highest quality raw materials to fabricate the latest technologies
 
in performance components and race car chassis for today’s serious drag racers. Every product is made in the USA and is backed with the highest quality service and support.

“We are excited to participate in the PDRA this year in such an interactive way by bridging the gap between racing fans and racing teams,” stated McCoy. “The Andy McCoy Race Cars Ask the Pros segment is something we really want to have fun with this season. It’s a creative way for us to support the PDRA and offer comprehensive tech advice to those who may not otherwise have access. The entire Pee Dee Fleet team will take part in it, so there’s nothing we can’t cover.”

In the Musi Minute presented by Musi Racing Engines, Lizzy will take fans off track and give them a behind-the-scenes look at the PDRA cast of characters. In the pits, the stands, with sponsors or with officials, Lizzy will showcase the PDRA like it’s never been seen before. Musi is looking forward to her new on-camera role:

"I am pretty excited about being more involved interacting with fans! We are looking to come up with something different at every event. Everyone at Musi Racing Engines is thrilled to be on board with the PDRA this year and hoping for many more."

Musi Racing Engines is a Mooresville, N.C. based company offering high performance engines. PDRA greats like PN World Champion Rickie Smith, PN ET record holder Travis Harvey, and PN MPH record holder Lizzy Musi choose Musi Racing Engines to take them to the top.

Each broadcast showcases every pass made by a PDRA racer - from Top Junior Dragster all the way up to Pro Extreme. Every qualifying and elimination run can be watched in real time. In 2015, PDRA averaged 250,000 total views of each race with fans logging in from 166 countries to watch the beasts of professional eighth-mile drag racing. Fans enjoyed over 24 million minutes of the 302 hours of originally produced content last year, both during and after the event.

“We know folks enjoy the Pro Mod shows,” stated MMTV creator, Mark Walters. “It’s one of our top viewer draws. As our tagline says, ‘Keep watching... we’ll stream more!’”
