\u201cWe are very excited to return for a third year as the title sponsor of the NHRA J&A Service Pro Mod Drag Racing Series,\u201d said Jim Whiteley, owner of J&A Service. \u201cOur partnership with the NHRA and the Pro Mod Series has provided our business with such great exposure and opportunities to expand our business as well as the events are just a great place to entertain clients. We love that the popularity of the Pro Mod class continues to grow and we\u2019re looking forward to once again working with the NHRA as drag racing continues to cultivate new fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of its series sponsorship, J&A Service will provide a $200,000 purse that pays the national champion $50,000 and the series runner-up $20,000. Each individual event winner will earn $10,000 and the event runners-up will claim $3,000 each.<\/p>\n

The NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series is supported by the Real Pro Mod (RPM) Association, a group of NHRA Pro Mod Series team owners who works closely with NHRA on many initiatives to maintain the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ&A Service and the dedication of Jim and Anne Whitely have been integral in the growth of the Pro Mod category,\u201d said Brad Gerber, NHRA vice president, and chief development officer. \u201cThis category is not only popular with the racers but is also a proven fan favorite. We look forward to the start of the coming season.\u201d<\/p>\n
