Riesterer Atop ADRL PX Leaderboard Friday in Dragstock Quals at Texas Motorplex

DALLAS – Despite Mother Nature getting her way late Friday night at the Texas Motorplex, fans were treated to two full rounds of qualifying for Dragstock, the return of the Extreme Racing Oil & Fuels 2022 ADRL Tour Presented by RJS Racing to the facility. Victoria, Texas’ own Doug Riesterer sits atop the Pro Extreme charts after a blistering pass of 3.65 seconds at 209 mph in the heat of the spring evening.

Travis Brandt laid down the gauntlet in Q1 with his ET of 3.672 seconds at 205 mph. While the temps were warm, the track was well-prepped by a world-class drag crew and Brandt’s lap gave the field confidence there was speed to be found in that eighth mile.

To kick off the second round, Charles Letteer went straight down the lane at 209 mph for a 3.76-second pass. A couple cars later, Riesterer came up to the line and 3.65 seconds later, PX had its P1.

And then the rain came.

“We had no idea this was coming,” said ADRL Promoter Mel Roth. ”

We started seeing some lightning and checked our weather apps and were like ‘Wow!’ But we got two full rounds in and saw racers able to get really good ETs out of a hot track. That really sets the stage for some great racing Saturday under the lights!”

The qualifying round lost Friday night will not be made up. The final qualifying round kicks off Saturday at 2:30 p.m. local time with spectator gates opening at Noon and pre-race ceremonies beginning at 5 p.m. For the full weekend schedule, click HERE.
