B&J Racing Transmissions has always been a proud supporter of the Get Screened America Pro Mod
Challenge and its competitors, and beginning at the U.S. Nationals and for every race throughout
the remainder of the season, the company increased their commitment and added excitement to the
first round of eliminations by awarding $500 to the winner of a randomly-selected pair of Pro Mods.
During the drivers meeting held before every race, a number (1-16) is randomly selected that
designates a pair that will race for the B&J Bonus. In Indianapolis, Danny Rowe received the first
$500 check, and at Charlotte for the NHRA Carolinas Nationals , Burton Auxier won the Bonus along
with a matching prize from Rick Stivers' Stivers HVAC.
Mike Strasberg, owner of B&J Transmissions, said, "We love Pro Mod racing, and the Get Screened
America Pro Mod Challenge puts on a show of the very best cars from around the world. It's our
privilege to support the series as a sponsor, as well as add some more excitement to the Saturday
night eliminations rounds.
"It's a format that doesn't necessarily reward the No.1 qualifier, but instead keeps the drivers
dialed in to what number they qualify and who they are paired against. It's just another way to
keep things exciting for the fans as well as the teams," he said.
Get Screened America CEO Roger Burgess said, "We definitely appreciate guys like Mike and companies
like B&J that support the series. Any time someone wants to give our drivers more prize money, I'm
all in for that. We have worked hard all year to put on a great show and continue to raise the
level of competition and professionalism in our series, and it is programs like this that help us
raise the bar."
The next event for the Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge is the NHRA Virginia Nationals, Oct.
9-11.
