MOVERS & SHAKERS MID-WEST PRO MOD SERIES SEASON OPENER Keith Haney’s Mid-West Pro Mod Series kicked off its second season with a widely celebrated 2018 debut at the Bruce Lowrie Chevrolet North vs. South Frankenstein Pro Mod Shootout, March 2-3, at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas. Todd Martin, returning to the seat of his supercharged ‘68 Mustang for the first time in over two years, earned the event win. Also leaving Ennis with trophies were Jeff Naiser in Radial vs. the World, Kenny Hubbard in X275 and Clint Hairston in the Slammer class for non-qualifiers and first-round buybacks.

SCOTT BENHAM - ALL-MOTOR ALL DAY Scott Benham, driver for the Texas-based Team O Motorsports team, attempted to qualify in the team’s Mountain Motor Pro Stock Chevy Cavalier, but his naturally aspirated 4.06-second passes weren’t enough to beat out the boosted entries. 46 | D r a g I l l u s t r a t e d | DragIllustrated.com SHOOTING THE STARS DRAG ILLUSTRATED photographer Joe McHugh is flanked by MWPMS promoter and racer Keith Haney (left) and event winner Todd Martin, who are also the co-owners of Tulsa Raceway Park.
