TULSA, OKLA. - Three-time Summit Racing Equipment Mid-West Drag Racing Series (MWDRS) Pro Mod champion and series founder Keith Haney has revealed his latest creation: the "Black Widow" - a brand-new Jerry Bickel Race Cars-built 2025 C7 Corvette featuring the first-ever Cynergy Composites redesigned C7 body. The new hot rod is already turning heads in the pits and online, and Haney plans to begin testing soon with the goal of debuting the car at the World Series of Pro Modas part of the Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service.

Haney, known for his booming personality, quick wit, and over-the-top confidence, says the "Black Widow" marks the next evolution of his racing program - but he's not rushing its first appearance.

"With all the buzz created from the announcement of my involvement with KB Titan Racing and our new Pro Mod division, on the heels of a huge week at SEMA in Las Vegas, it just felt like the perfect time to roll out the newest member of our fleet - 'Black Widow' - and let the world know we've got our sights set on shocking the world in Bradenton during the Drag Illustrated Winter Series," said Haney. "This is a bad, bad hot rod, and we're coming to make some noise."

As for when fans will actually see Black Widow hit the track, Haney says the plan is clear - but flexible. "We're going to open the season with 'Black Mamba' at the Snowbirds, no question," Haney said. "That car's a proven piece, and we're coming in ready to fight. The goal is to have 'Black Widow' ready as soon as testing says we're ready. Maybe we bring it out for U.S. Street Nationals if everything comes together early. But really, we've got our eyes on the World Series of Pro Mod. That's the one. That's where I want to roll this thing out and make a statement."

The Black Widow continues Haney's long-standing tradition of naming his cars - something he believes adds energy, identity, and fan connection.

"I've always believed cars should have names - they need personalities," Haney added. "When you name a car, people remember it. They connect with it. We stirred the pot the last few years with 'Black Mamba,' and now 'Black Widow' is here to keep things stirred up."

Built by Jerry Bickel Race Cars and wrapped in bold new Cynergy carbon fiber, the Corvette represents a significant new chapter for Haney Racing. The car also features contributions from Kryptonite Kustomz,, Brandon Switzer and Switzer Dynamics, and Pat Musi Racing Engines.

"The team at Bickel, Kryptonite Kustomz, Brandon Switzer and his crew at Switzer Dynamics, Pat and Liz at Musi, and my team that goes racing with me every weekend - everybody came together to build me a world-class hot rod," Haney said. "As excited as I am about the car, I'm even more excited to see what we can do with it."

Haney, who finished fourth in the 2025 MWDRS Pro Mod standings, continues solidifying his place as one of the sport's most influential doorslammer drivers and promoters. In addition to his three MWDRS championships, he co-owns Osage Casino & Hotel Tulsa Raceway Park and Tulsa Speedway with Todd Martin and is actively partnering with KB Titan Racing to help launch their new Pro Mod division in 2026.

"Pro Mod is in my DNA," Haney said. "Between what we're building at KB Titan Racing and everything happening right now in Pro Mod drag racing, this next chapter is about pushing the class forward - innovating, elevating, and keeping the excitement through the roof."

Haney will open the Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service in his familiar "Black Mamba" Camaro at the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks, December 5-7. Depending on early testing, the "Black Widow" Corvette could make an appearance as soon as the U.S. Street Nationals presented by M&M Transmission, but the target is the 2026 World Series of Pro Mod.
