Grand Junction, CO – After a DNQ in Houston Mike Knowles and his Knowles Racing Team are looking for improvement at this weekends Jegs Pro Mod Challenge event held in conjunction with the NHRA's Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Ga.
"It's been a lot tougher season than we first expected," said Knowles. "We had real high hopes before the season started. We had a new McAmis built Corvette with Mike Janis power and things looked like they'd be great but after the Vette got damaged in pre-season testing we had to fall back to the Camaro."
Having to switch cars mid-stream isn't an easy task. What works on one car may not work on another. Knowles and Crew Chief Dan Page are looking to address that before the Atlanta race.
"The Vette should be ready around the St. Louis race but we're going to stick with the Camaro till after the St. Louis event. It's a good car. Dan and the guys just need more time with the Camaro to find what makes her happy and that's what we're going to try and accomplish before the Atlanta race," said Knowles
Knowles Racing consists of:
Driver: Mike Knowles
Crew Chief: Dan Page
Crew: Bart Sunn, Billy Rice, Mike and Justin Reiger, Jeff and Mike Strasburg , and Bobbie Knowles
Knowles Racing Competes on the NHRA circuit in the Jegs ProMod Challenge Series. The 2008 JEGS Pro Mod Challenge will compete at NHRA national events in Gainesville (March 13-16), Houston (March 28-30), Atlanta (April 24-27), St. Louis (May 2-4), Bristol (May 16-18), Englishtown (June 19-22), Indianapolis (Aug. 27-Sept. 1), Dallas (Sept. 18-21), Richmond (Oct. 10-12), and Las Vegas (Oct. 30-Nov. 2).
