In the PRO Superstar Shootout finale held at Bradenton Motorsports Park, Ron Capps took home the victory over Austin Prock, who delivered an extraordinary run that still left him without the win.
While Prock didn’t claim the victory, the John Force Racing driver’s performance was memorable, with a remarkable 3.791-second run during the final qualifying session. The shootout allowed the JFR team to prepare for the approaching NHRA Mission Foods Series, beginning with the Gatornationals in March.
Austin Prock, representing JFR in his Chevrolet SS, had an impressive qualifying run. However, during the final, he found issues with the clutch, resulting in a time of 4.003 seconds, a significant drop from Capps’ 3.870-second run at 330.47 mph.
Despite the issue, Prock found an opportunity to learn from the experience as the NHRA events approach. He commented in a press release from the team:
“Another great start to the year. We made it to the final round and ran some pretty competitive ETs throughout the day (3.876 and 3.883 in the first two rounds).
“The thing left hard. It was marching but by the time I got past the Christmas Tree, the clutch broke and it was essentially running in neutral all the way down there.
