ATLANTA/DALLAS - ProCare Rx, one of the nation's largest prescription drug management companies, is planning to fill a script for competitors in the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Challenge presented by Tindle Enterprises with a $50,000 payday, series director Matthew Brammer announced Wednesday.
Beginning with the next Pro Mod event, drivers will earn points for the $50,000 ProCare Rx Pro Mod Clash -- a "race-within-a-race" which pits the best-qualifying and most-consistent AMS Pro Mods against each other with the chance to fight for a $25,000 top prize.
"Pro Mods are so amazing and they put on an incredible show, I wanted to do something that puts an even brighter spotlight on these teams and cars," Roger Burgess, Chairman of ProCare Rx said.
"When there's even more money on the line, every round counts, and the fans will want to follow not just the eliminations, but now, even the qualifying will be exciting. I'm really pleased to be a part of what AMS, Dave Wood, Tim Tindle and all the other sponsors have put together and I know we're going to see even more incredible racing from these cars this season," Burgess said.
Drivers earn points for the $50,000 ProCare Rx Pro Mod Clash two ways: performance and consistency. The top qualifier at each event will be awarded 160 points, No. 2 - 150 points, etc. to reward performance. In addition, the driver with the most consistent car will receive 160 points, the second-most consistent, 150, etc. Consistency will be determined by establishing variance of qualifying times, the most consistent being the driver with the smallest variance in time. In the case of a tie, speeds will be factored into the equation. Ten points will be deducted for any qualifying pass that delays racing by putting oil on the track.
Series Director Matthew Brammer said, "Roger is a true Pro Mod fan, and his energy is contagious. We talked about creating something that will bring even more excitement and opportunity to our racers, and I feel the format will definitely put more emphasis on every single run - qualifying and eliminations.
"Imagine a car that comes out and runs a 6.20, a 6.21 and a 6.19. With the fields we've seen so far this year, that driver might not qualify for eliminations, but he will still possibly earn a lot points for his .02 consistency. It opens the doors for more people to have a chance to win the $25,000," Brammer said.
The top eight qualifiers in the $50,000 ProCare Rx Pro Mod Clash after five races will be paired during qualifying at the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals, October 25-28. The winner will receive $25,000, runner-up $12,500, and each of the semifinalists $5,000. A $2,500 bonus will be awarded to the team with the most consistent car beginning at the Englishtown event and running through the Las Vegas qualifying sessions.
"We've seen some incredible things so far this season in AMS Pro Mod racing, and with the addition of the $50,000 ProCare Rx Pro Mod Clash, now a driver can race to win more than $50,000 in prize money at the end of the year. Things just keep getting better and better in Pro Mod - and the fans are the real winners with all of the great racing we've been able to deliver," Brammer said.
Complete rules and format information is available on the official website of the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Challenge presented by Tindle Enterprises, Inc.: AMS PRO MOD CHALLENGE - Home. Results and updates will be posted following every event.
Official Rules:
The $50,000 ProCare Rx Pro Mod Clash rewards the top teams in the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Modified challenge presented by Tindle Enterprises, Inc. for performance and consistency. At stake is a total of $50,000, to be contested at the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals, October 25-28, 2007.
Teams earn points two ways: consistency in qualifying performance and final qualifying position.
Points are awarded as follows:
Performance:
Points are awarded based on final qualifying position. The top qualifier will earn 160 points, descending to 10 points for the No. 16 team.
Consistency:
Points are awarded based on the elapsed time variance of qualifying attempts, with the most consistent team (the team with the smallest delta) earning 160 points, descending to 10 points for the No. 16 most consistent team.
Ten points will be deducted for any pass that results in oil on the track.
The top eight drivers will be paired during qualifying at the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals October 25-28 to compete for the following cash awards:
Cash Awards:
Grand Prize: $25,000
Runner up: $12,500
Semifinalists: $ 5,000
A $2,500 bonus will be awarded for the most consistent car in qualifying, beginning in Englishtown through the Las Vegas event.
To be eligible, teams must attempt to make every available qualifying pass, with attempt being defined as staging the car and taking the light. If only one qualifying round is run, no consistency points will be awarded. In the event of a tie for consistency, the speed of the tied cars will be used to determine the most consistent. Each car is required to display a decal representing the $50,000 ProCare Rx Pro Mod Clash, and any run made without the required decals or patch will void that run from inclusion.
Series administrators will clarify or further define the rules as necessary.
