NHRA announces Get Screened America Pro Mod Series TV schedule
Tuesday, March 02, 2010



The inaugural NHRA Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series, which begins at the Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals March 11-14, will be featured on ESPN2 and ESPN2HD.

ESPN2 and ESPN2HD will televise 10 30-minute highlight shows of the racing action from select NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series events. The shows, to be aired on a taped-delay basis, will recap the weekend’s events, including final elimination coverage of the 16-car fields.

In addition, ESPN International will televise the events around the world through English-speaking networks in Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Rim. In all, 102 countries and more than 9.4 million households will receive NHRA Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series coverage worldwide.

All NHRA Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series broadcasts will be aired the following Saturday or Sunday of the race, except for the Norwalk event, which will air on a two-week delay. 

Calling the action on the telecasts will be longtime NHRA announcer Dave Rieff, who will be joined by 22-time NHRA winner Mike Dunn, providing expert analysis and insight on the racing action.

The formation of the NHRA Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series wouldn’t have been possible without the financial commitment of Pro Care Rx and Get Screened America. A multiyear commitment by the group to fund the series made the series possible.

Following the Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, the schedule includes stops at some of the biggest events on the circuit, including in Houston (April 9-11), Madison (April 30-May 2), Atlanta (May 14-16), Englishtown (June 10-13), Bristol (June 18-20), and Norwalk (June 24-27). Later in the season, the 240-mph machines will race at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis (Sept. 1-6), the second Charlotte event (Sept. 16-19), and the second Las Vegas event (Oct. 28-31). 

With body styles ranging from ’41 Willys to ’53 Corvettes, ’57 Chevys to ’70 'Cudas, and first-generation Camaros and Firebirds to profiles as racy as the latest Dodge Viper along with show-quality themed paint jobs, Pro Mods have been crowd-pleasers at NHRA events for several years as an exhibition. With huge slicks at the rear and superchargers poking through the hoods, there’s no doubt that these cars are a whole lot more than souped-up classics.

ESPN2 is now available in nearly 99 million households.
