This weekend Pete Berner is taking his Quarter-Max.com Pontiac Motorsports GXP to U.S. 131
Motorsports Park, a place that feels like home to Berner, who often tests at the facility. Berner
participated in the National City Thunder Nationals for the first time last year and is looking
forward to returning to the event.
"It's always a pleasure to race at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park," says the two-time IHRA Pro Stock
Champ. "Jason Peterson and his crew do an exceptional job with the facility. Every time we go there
to test he does whatever is necessary to prep the track and it's always in top shape. The entire
staff is very welcoming and accommodating. The race this weekend should be a good one. There will
be several different professional teams there from Pro Stock, Pro Mod, and Alcohol Funny Car. I
enjoy match racing and I think these cars will put on a good show up there."
Berner plans to test on Friday before competing in the match race set for Saturday. "Many thanks to
the Peterson's for allowing us to test at their facility on Friday," continues Berner. "We planning
on trying several new things on the car, and I know that U.S. 131 is a place we can get some good,
reliable data. It's a top-notch facility and it's my home stop on the IHRA and ADRL tours, so it's
a special place for me. Hopefully we can go there this weekend and make some good advancements with
our car and put on a good show for the U.S. 131 fans!"
