The NHRA J&A Service Pro Mod Drag Racing Series raced at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals for the first time in the history of the category and Mike Castellana powered to the event win. This is the third of 12 events on the schedule and this weekend’s Pro Mod event was co-sponsored by JEGS.com and Plugfones.

This is the first win of the season for Castellana and his second final round appearance.

“I’ll tell ya, it was awesome,” Castellana said. “First time coming out here, you’re a little worried about how to drive and what’s going to happen. But when you got a team like I do, it just makes everything go real smooth."

Castellana defeated Troy Coughlin, Michael Biehle II and Jonathan Gray in the final. Castellana retains his points lead in the category.

The series returns to action at Atlanta Dragway for the Lucas Oil NHRA Southern Nationals, May 5-7.
