The PRO Superstar Shootout, a combined high-stakes drag race and test session, announced a couple of key sponsorships to throw more money into the expansive sponsorship pot. 

Capco Contractors and Lucas Oil have recently signed on as sponsors for the event. 

Capco will be one of the event’s major sponsors, while Lucas Oil will become a top qualifier bonus provider. 
 
“The Torrence family and Capco Contractors have been integral supporters of the PRO Superstar Shootout since the planning stages of this race,” said Alan Johnson, president, Professional Racers Owners Organization (PRO). “From Steve’s world championships to the Capco team’s support of the independent teams, the Torrences have certainly made an impact on the sport of nitro drag racing. Capco’s support of the PRO Superstar Shootout means a lot to everyone involved in bringing this race to life.” 
 
“As a racer, I felt it was important to throw some support behind this event,” said Billy Torrence. “I want to help promote our sport and make sure this thing goes off well. I’d like to see six or eight of these races a year. It’s all I’d do. I hope that it will open up some eyes as to what racing could be and bring back more of the atmosphere that we used to have back in the old days. We’re just pleased to be involved and hope it brings some more exposure to our sport and sparks some interest.”

Lucas Oil will provide $10,000 bonuses to the low qualifiers in the $250,000-to-win nitro classes and $125,000-to-win Pro Stock category. 
Those No. 1 qualifiers will also receive a Low Qualifier trophy built by metal artist and fabricator Tom Patsis of Cold Hard Art. 
 
“The first-ever PRO Superstar Shootout is going to be one of the most exciting events in drag racing history, and we are thrilled to be a part of this incredible weekend,” said Brandon Bernstein, Director of Partnership Marketing for Lucas Oil. “Professional drag racing has been part of Lucas Oil’s legacy for decades, and we truly believe this invite-only event is the perfect place to show our dedication to the sport. Without a doubt, the Shootout is going to produce some incredible runs and set the stage for another amazing year of drag racing competition.”
 
Beyond the professional categories, the PRO Superstar Shootout will include FTI Performance Top Sportsman, Stock, and Super Stock. Off-track, the fan-focused event will feature live music, a vendor village, the area’s best food trucks, and more.
