After a few years away from full time racing to get settled on the East Coast, Todd Hoerner is pleased to be back on track. 2012 will see Todd back in a Pro Stock car. In 2008, Todd ran Pro Stock at selected events in the NHRA and competed admirably against the likes of the Summit Team, Jegs, the Johnsons and Mike Edwards. He qualified for all but three events he competed at. From there, Todd and his family relocated to the East coast to work for legendary engine builder Sonny Leonard. Todd and his family have settled into the East coast life style and he is ready to get back to serious racing. Todd has run in Comp Eliminator and Top Sportsman a few times a year, but he decided to jump back in with both feet and get back into Pro Stock, "Extreme style".

For 2012 Todd will campaign in Extreme Pro Stock in the ADRL. He will run a brand new Jerry Bickel 2012 Chevy Camaro with an 825 cu in Sonny Leonard Hemi between the frame rails.

To say he is excited about getting back on track is an understatement.

" Since moving to the East Coast I have been waiting for the opportunity to race Pro Stock again, and the chance has come. Competing in Top Sportsman and Comp eliminator with big inch Sonny's power (he set the ET record , and MPH record for A/AA ) has allowed me to acclimate myself with big inch motors. Moving up to Mountain Motored Pro Stock is a dream for me. Sonny has a number of clients in the class, and I am looking forward to running with them in the ADRL.

The ADRL has become a great place for many to race at and it is THE place for Mountain motor Pro Stock racing. Sonny's is one of the leaders in big inch motors, and it is the right time for one of the most well known NW drivers (ex NW racer now) to compete at a high level. Todd is one of only two drivers to win Wally's in five different categories within the NHRA and he looks to make his mark here in the ADRL.

Todd hopes to be out for the first event of the year, the Dragpalozza VIII event in March at Houston's Royal Purple Raceway in Houston. " Jerry Bickel is finishing our new Camaro, and we are working hard at the shop to get the new power plant completed. If all goes well, we hope to be able to test sometime in late Feb.

Todd would like to thank his sponsors including Sonny's Racing Engines , Rescue Voice, K&N filters, Big Stuff, Late Model Cars. com, Black Diamond Motorsports, Jerry Bickel Race Cars, Jegs, and Total Seal.
