Pro Stock is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and NHRA has plans for the class that will celebrate its past, as well as Pro Stock\u2019s current competitive nature and its future.<\/p>\n
With most racers in the class using the Chevrolet Camaro race car, it\u2019s nostalgic to remember when many different manufacturers were exceptionally active in Pro Stock and were able to use the \u201cwin on Sunday, sell on Monday\u201d mantra.<\/p>\n

This year, beginning with the season-starting 60th annual Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals on the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona dragstrip, NHRA partners with the Midwest Nostalgia Pro Stock Association for both static and on-track exhibitions of significant Pro Stock racecars, many of them tributes to race- and championship-winning racers and their cars.<\/p>\n
There are expected to be between six and eight such exhibitions throughout the year, beginning with the season starter and the Midwest Nostalgia Pro Stock Association expects to have between eight and ten running exhibition cars at each of those contests.<\/p>\n

Some of the cars – on display at PRI this week – include Darrell Alderman\u2019s championship Dodge Daytona, the Harold Denton \u201cParty Time\u201d tribute car, Lee Shepherd\/Reher Morrison tribute car, a Warren Johnson tribute and a Bill \u201cGrumpy\u201d Jenkins tribute.<\/p>\n
These cars represent what many consider the golden years of Pro Stock racing, although with the kind of competition we witnessed during the 2019 campaign, it might be fair to state that, even though all 10 cars in the Countdown to the Championship were Chevy products, Pro Stock today is a healthy class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
