Rowe Leads Pro Mod Field After First Day of Qualifying

BRISTOL, TN – Agave Underground Pro Mod pilot Danny Rowe made his presence felt Friday during the opening two rounds of qualifying for the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway, streaking to the No. 1 qualifying spot with a 5.958-second, 242.76mph quarter-mile blast.

Rowe, who will have been top qualifier at each of the last two races if his run stands as quickest of qualifying, hopes to parlay his starting position into a final round appearance in Thunder Valley on Sunday.

“We knew we had some work to do after that first session, but we came back up for the second round and did exactly what we came here to do – put this Agave Underground Pro Mod at the top of the qualifying sheets,” said Rowe. “Saturday we’ll focus on consistency and try to get ready for the opening round of eliminations. There isn’t a car here that isn’t capable of winning this deal, so we’re going to have to be on our toes tomorrow, but with the way this team has been performing this year, I couldn’t be more confident. We’re excited to go racing.”

Qualifying will continue for the NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series at 2:00 PM, with the opening round of eliminations slated for 4:00 PM. Final eliminations will continue Sunday at approximately 2:30PM.
