Ontario , Canada ’ s Paolo Giust hangs the front wheels high as he charges past the Bradenton Motorsports Park concession stand in his screw-blown “ Black Betty ” ‘ 69 Camaro in Pro Mod qualifying at the WSOPM . While Giust has primarily raced in Radial vs . the World trim for the last few years , he swapped the car back over to big-tire Pro Mod trim for a chance to compete in the $ 100,000-to-win race . After five qualifying sessions , Giust was just outside the 32-car field in the No . 38 spot with a 3.671-second best .
