CAUGHT! ROOKIE NO MORE Drag radial superstar Steve “Stevie Fast” Jackson hoists his second NHRA Pro Mod Wally atop the supercharged Bahrain 1 Racing ‘17 Camaro he drove to victory at the season-ending NHRA Toyota Nationals. “This is a tough class to even qualify for,” Jackson said. “To win the last race of the season is a game changer for us. Nobody wants to eat their Thanksgiving dinner thinking about getting their butt kicked.” The NHRA J&A Service Pro Mod Series Rookie of the Year also reached the final round at Atlanta and the Charlotte fall race, allowing the celebrated doorslammer pilot to finish third in the championship points standings.
