IRG Sports + Entertainment™ (IRG) and the International Hot Rod Association™ (IHRA) are thrilled to announce the return of one of IHRA’s most treasured classes, Mountain Motor Pro Stock, to the Nitro Jam Drag Racing series in 2014 as these powerful machines return to quarter-mile competition with the IHRA next season.

Debuting with the IHRA in the early 70s as one of the IHRA’s original and most unique classes, the stars of Mountain Motor Pro Stock will return to the IHRA in a 10-race championship to be held across the United States as part of the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series. Mountain Motor Pro Stock will showcase an eight-car field with two rounds of qualifying on the first day of competition followed by an additional round of qualifying and three rounds of eliminations on the second day.

This landmark announcement will partner one of IHRA’s oldest and most exciting classes with an already thrilling lineup of nitro-driven competition in Nitro Funny Car, Nitro Harley and Nitro Altered and the world’s only jet dragster championship as the IHRA brings together the best of both worlds in entertainment and competition within the drag racing industry.

Following a landmark announcement made last month by the International Hot Rod Association™ (IHRA) announcing the return to traditional drag racing competition and a record championship points fund for Funny Car, the IHRA revealed the preliminary roster of championship drivers slated to compete in 2014 in its Nitro Funny Car class and announced that it has opened the class up to a limited field of competitors.

The field of competitors competing on the 2014 Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series in Nitro Funny Car will include some of the most decorated and successful nostalgia pilots in the sport, accumulating countless championships and major event wins over the past few years. The IHRA also announced that it will open the field up to a limited number of regional racers next season and will feature one fully open field race in July.

The International Hot Rod Association™ (IHRA) and parent company IRG Sports + Entertainment™ (IRG) have announced that it will be returning to the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show set to be held this weekend, December 12-14, at the Indiana Convention Center.

IHRA and IRG will occupy booth No. 3341 on the main floor with new IHRA President Scott Gardner, IHRA CEO Jason Rittenberry, IHRA Vice-President Skooter Peaco and IHRA Senior Director of Competition Mike Baker all scheduled to be in attendance.

On the heels of several major announcements regarding the 2014 racing season, IHRA Motorsports returns to the incredibly popular PRI show to answer questions regarding the future and direction of the motorsports sanctioning body while at the same time meeting with industry leaders to further enhance the series and its various programs.
