Troxel is anxious to race during the course of the weekend and put on a great show for the fans.

“The great thing about the Pro Mod class is you never know what you are going to get each time these cars take to the track.  They have a lot of horsepower for such a short wheel base and these cars can get crossed up and sideways on each pass.  I think they are the most exciting class to watch,” she said.  “The professional nitro cars have incredible horsepower but I think the Pro Mods are true fan favorites.  Fans are very lucky that they will be able to see these cars in a non NHRA national event weekend and it will be very exciting.”

Also the opportunity to race on the O’Reilly Raceway Park surface, home of the Mac Tools U. S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil, is always special for Troxel no matter what the event.

“Obviously the Mac Tools U. S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil is the premier event and it is the one you hear about,” said Troxel.  “Living in Indy allows us to come out and race here more than once a year and that is great.
