ENNIS, Texas -- Drivers competing in the NHRA AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Challenge, an NHRA exhibition class, earned points based on how they qualified at the first eight of ten events at which the Pro Mods compete. At each of the eight events, drivers earned between eight and one point -- eight points for qualifying No. 1, seven points for qualifying No. 2, down to one point for qualifying eighth. Points are awarded on qualifying performance; therefore, no points are awarded for DNQs.

The eight Pro Mod drivers accumulating the most points during the season-long qualifying earned a position in the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Shootout. The final point standings and eight drivers who made the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Shootout are as follows:

Pos  Driver           Pts   Remarks
1) Tim McAmis         46    (4 No. 1s)
2) Fred Hahn          42    (4 No. 1s)
3) Mitch Stott        27
4) Mike Ashley        24
5) Thomas Patterson   22
6) Rickie Smith       16
   Quain Stott        16
8) Al Billes          15

Qualifying No. 1 for the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Shootout was a surprise to McAmis. "I wasn't even thinking about the No. 1 spot at the Shootout. I never thought in a hundred years I'd be No. 1. Too many things had to happen for me to take over the top spot, but I'll take it. The only downside is that every time I've qualify No. 1 this year, I've got my butt kicked," said McAmis.
