Mike Naumann is debuting his new VP Racing Lubricants Xtreme Pro Mod Camaro this weekend, while his son, Jake, continues his quest for the ARP Nitrous Pro Street championship in their Nova. Naumann's big-tire machine was built by Doug Cline at Precision Chassis and features a 959ci engine with six kits of nitrous oxide on it. The power plant is backed by an M&M Transmission three-speed lockup transmission and torque converter, and a FuelTech FT600 EFI system manages the entire combination. Naumann made his first passes in the car prior to the event his first in a Pro Mod at Virginia Motorsports Park, and several short runs concluded with a get-acquainted 3.85 at 195mph run.
Two-time Chevrolet Performance Stock champion Glenn Pushis returned the to the class this season with a new COPO Camaro CRC, and he currently sits in second place in points. "I already congratulated Ronnie [Hackelton] on winning the championship this year," said Pushis. "He's worked really hard for it, but that doesn't mean i'm going to make it easy for him this weekend!" After several close attempts at the championship since the class' debut in 2015, Hackelton rolled into this event with a 500-point lead over Pushis.
ARP Nitrous Pro Street driver Derik Timmer had his hands full during the final round of qualifying at the previous race in Norwalk, Ohio, when the car wasn't happy with the amount of power he had thrown at it.

Randy Dolensek's fan favorite Mercury Cyclone Spoiler is back this weekend in ARP Nitrous Pro Street, as is the driver who realized this year that he just couldn't stay away from racing.
