Promoter and racer Justin Swanstrom is making the most of a tough situation with the addition of Pro Mod and Extreme Pro Mod to the lineup for his Swanfest – Money In The Bank, October 1-3, at Rockingham Dragway. With the recent cancellation of the remaining IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series races, racers who competed in that series’ Pro Mod and Outlaw Pro Mod classes now have another option on the race calendar. 

“I was thinking on it….I was little scared honestly as in if the support would come! But I’ve built Swangang and SWANFEST off of some RISK!!!” Swanstrom said in a Facebook post. 

Pro Mod and Extreme Pro Mod join a lineup of primarily no-time classes including Extreme 275, 28” Class, DMV Heavy Hitter Street, and the invite-only Cub on Cub Crime. Swanstrom noted that he’s working on additional classes as well. 

Tickets for Swanfest went on sale July 13 with Swanstrom reporting record-setting ticket sales in the first day.
