“All of these bonuses were made possible by our good friends at ATI. Based in Baltimore, the folks at ATI really wanted to get involved with one of our biggest and most exciting Pro-Am events and in the end it was a perfect fit to partner with them at MIR,” said Jon O’Neal, IHRA Division Director. “The bonuses presented by ATI will make this a truly unique event and one we hope will draw a few extra racers to compete regardless of racing affiliation. It is always exciting when we bring an IHRA event to MIR and with ATI’s involvement it should only add to that excitement.

“Royce Miller does such an outstanding job and racers across the country recognize that commitment. This year’s Summit Pro-Am at Maryland hopefully will be one of our best yet.”

The Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour presented by AMSOIL event at Maryland International Raceway will feature two full days of racing. There will be a test and tune on Friday followed by qualifying and eliminations Saturday and Sunday with Pro-Am points on the line in both races.
