Get Screened America Promod Challenge racer Tim Tindle and the Tindle Racing Team head to Virginia
Motorsports Park in Petersburg, Va. (near Richmond), this weekend for the NHRA Virginia Nationals,
the 9th of 10 Promod events in 2009. This is the second time NHRA Promod competitors have raced in
Richmond. With one national event win in 2009, Tindle is currently eighth in points.
"It seems like a long time since we've been to Virgina Motorsports Park," stated Tindle. "This
track is notorious for quick elapsed times in the promod field. The track surface is smooth and
the air is normally great this time of year. The track is usually in good condition, which is what
we need for a good weekend. We'll apply what we've learned these past few weeks and put our Ford
Mustang through its paces. We are looking forward to finishing the season strong, and it starts
with this weekend in Richmond."
Heading into Virginia, Tindle sits cautiously in the eigth place in points, within striking
distance of those below. This weekend's performance will determine if he will qualify for the
$35,000 Matco Tools Pro Mod Clash in Las Vegas.
