Lyle Barnett Among 50 Pro Mod Drivers Set to Help Bradenton Motorsports Park Celebrate 50th Annual Snowbird Outlaw Nationals

BRADENTON, FL – Two-time NHRA Pro Mod event winner Lyle Barnett is one of the 50 Pro Modified drivers locked in to race for the celebratory $50,000 payday at this weekend’s 50th annual Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Along with Pro Mod, the event will feature Outlaw 632, radial racing, jet cars and more.

“I want to win this one just as bad as I want to go win the U.S. Nationals,” said Barnett, who won two races at the end of the 2021 NHRA Pro Mod season, his rookie year in the class. “It’s one of the richest Pro Mod races of the year. This is a big one. This closes out the year. Whoever wins this one goes into what little offseason we have with some clout and bragging rights. I’m pumped up to be here to battle it out with 49 of the baddest Pro Mods on the planet.”

The M&M Transmission Outlaw Pro Mod presented by Carmack Engineering entry list includes a diverse mix of drivers from numerous different classes and organizations. Drivers include two-time NHRA Pro Mod world champion Stevie “Fast” Jackson; PDRA Pro Nitrous and Pro Boost stars like Jim Halsey, Tommy Franklin, Jay Cox, Todd Tutterow, and Daniel Pharris; Radial vs. the World hitters Marcus Birt and Tim Slavens; and even Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings standout Justin “Lil’ Country” Swanstrom.
