Jason Scruggs and Mike Castellana scored victories May 2, in Pro Extreme and Pro Nitrous, the top two classes in the inaugural PDRA Cajun Nationals at Thunder Road Raceway Park, near Shreveport. It marked a welcome change for both former class champions as neither had previously reached victory lane with the all-eighth-mile Professional Drag Racers Association since its inception early last year.  

Also picking up pro class wins were Gerry Capano with a career-first title in Pro Boost and reigning class champ Eric McKinney with his third-straight Pro Extreme Motorcycle event title. Meanwhile, sportsman class victories went to Ronnie Davis with his first PDRA Top Sportsman crown and Mike Greene also with his first PDRA Top Dragster win. Brooke Heckel and Scottie Taylor also prevailed in Pro Jr. Dragster and Top Jr. Dragster, respectively.
