Grand Junction, CO. – Mike Knowles and his “Blown Money” team will be back in action this weekend at the ADRL Gateway Drags IV in Madison, IL; just across the river from St. Louis.

“It’s been a few weeks between races and we’re all ready to get back to it,” said team owner/driver Mike Knowles.

“We’ve had the luxury to do some testing after our last event, thanks to Goodyear tires. The compound they let us work with seems very promising. I feel that Goodyear has a good hold of what a blown Pro Mod needs and the new tires look like they can handle what we throw at them. I’m looking forward to running the new tire this weekend,” added Knowles.

Knowles’ “Blown Money” team tested different tire packages with the help of Goodyear’s sales account manager for Drag Racing, Bryce Jones, and three of Goodyear’s engineers. Jones was pleased with the results.

“We are very excited by Mike’s test results.  This new 34.5″ tire did all that we had hoped.  Now we’re looking forward to see how Mike does with the tire in competition, said Jones.

Knowles and the rest of the ADRL Pro Modified teams are scheduled for three qualifying sessions, on Friday and one on Saturday prior to the first round of eliminations.
