Tim Tindle heads to Vegas with hopes in the Get Screened America Promod Challenge, presented by Pro
Care RX. Holding a strong eighth position in points heading into the NHRA Las Vegas Nationals, the
Santa Rosa Beach, FL racer will compete in the Matco Tools $35,000 Promod Clash and then the
series' final race. In 2007, Tindle won the Promod Clash and then marched on to finish strong in
the series.
The first-round pairings of the "shootout" were set randomly during a conference call Tuesday
evening that included the top eight in points. Tindle, former Clash winner, will face Mike
Castellana in the first round.
'We are just fortunate to even be in the shootout," Tindle said with a laugh. We had a "hiccup"
that began about midseason and we are just now getting it figured out."
"Quain (Stott) and the guys have been working hard to get this hotrod figured out, and our
performance is definitely going uphill. We plan to lay down low numbers (e.t.'s) and make
consistent laps down the race track."
