Summernationals in Englishtown, NJ

Grand Junction, CO – Known for having some of the flashiest yet tasteful cars in all of drag racing Mike Knowles’ latest ride has been creating a buzz everywhere it’s been. This weekend will be no different as the Blown Money MOB edition Mustang heads into Tony Soprano’s home territory.

Featuring many of the icons of alleged organized crime the MOB edition Mustang is sure to gather a crowd of admirers at the NHRA Toyota Summernationals this weekend in Englishtown, NJ. The design was the brainchild of Knowles and Justin Spencer, who works closely with the cars builder Tim McAmis of TMRC. Jeff Hoskins was chosen for his masterful airbrush talents and was given the task of bringing the Spencer design to life. The trio of Spencer, Hoskins, and McAmis have created one of the most awe inspiring pieces of rolling art to ever grace a drag strip.

While the appearance of Knowles’ Blown Money operation is second to none his on track performance has been coming up short so far this season. Newly hired crew chief, Howard Moon, has been focused on breaking the wild Mustang and hopes to put everything together in E-town.

“We’ve been less than perfect in our first two outings one was the car and the other was me, the driver,” said Knowles. Howard had to make some changes to tailor the combination to his liking and we feel this outing we will have everything in sync,” added Knowles.

Each Pro Mod competitor will be afforded three qualifying passes; two on Friday June 5th at 3:15 PM and 5:45 PM and one on Saturday June 6th at 3:15 PM. Eliminations will begin with the first round on Saturday at 5:30 PM. Pro Mod eliminations will continue on Sunday June 7th at 12:45 Pm after the first round of Pro Stock Eliminations.
