After running five NHRA Pro Stock races in 2021 with KB Racing, Rodger Brogdon is making the full plunge in 2022.

Brogdon confirmed to CompetitionPlus.com he will compete full-time in Pro Stock in 2022 competing in 18 races for the KB Racing team.

“I’m going to run my wagon (1966 Chevy II wagon Comp Car) and run all 18 Pro Stock races, so I’m going to be really busy,” Brogdon said. “I signed on with (KB Racing) for the (2022) year. I’m going to run a Camaro. We bought another car that I’m going to drive (in 2022). It is actually my old car I built in 2015, we bought it back. It is a really, really good car. It is a Camaro, and it just seems a little bit quicker than most of them.”

The KB Racing team is headed up by reigning Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson.

“I just wanted to race one year with KB,” Brogdon said when asked why he’s coming back fulltime in Pro Stock. “I’ve been trying to do that the last several years, for the last seven or eight years actually, but the cards just didn’t line up. Either I had too much going on or they didn’t have a spot for me, it was always something but this year everything seemed to work out. I’m going to give it one good year.

“I’m not doing this for the next five years I can tell you that. I’m planning on doing this one year unless I go out there and do something really incredible. A good goal for me would be finishing in the Top 5, since I don’t do this for a living like a lot of people. If I could finish in the Top 5, I would have a heck of a year.”

Brogdon, a three-time national event winner in Pro Stock, last competed fulltime in the class in 2013, finishing 10th in the points standings and winning in Bristol, Tenn. He did compete in 18 of 24 events in 2014, taking the title in Reading, Pa. Competing in a limited schedule in 2015 he won in Phoenix.

Brogdon didn’t compete in any Pro Stock events in 2016 and 2017 and came back for one race in 2018 in Houston. He competed in a limited slate in 2019 and then sat out the 2020 season, which was limited because of the COVID-19 virus.

Brogdon then came back May 24 of last season in Houston, qualifying No. 14 and was upended by Kyle Koretsky in the first round. Brogdon competed in five events total in 2021 – Houston, Topeka, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Dallas.
