Drag Illustrated announced today that Larry Jeffers Race Cars has signed on as a major sponsor of the 2025-26 Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service, bringing one of the most prominent chassis builders in Pro Modified drag racing into a significant role for the upcoming three-race championship. Known for producing championship-winning, world-class race cars from their facility in House Springs, Missouri, LJRC’s involvement adds yet another heavyweight supporter to the growing movement around the Winter Series.
LJRC has long been regarded as one of the premier builders of high-horsepower doorslammer race cars, specializing in Pro Mod chassis for all major power adders – nitrous, roots-style, ProCharger, and twin turbos – with an emphasis on safety, innovation, and performance. Their craftsmanship can be found at the front of the field in NHRA, IHRA, PDRA, MWDRS, and outlaw competition, where their cars routinely contend for championships. Whether producing full turn-key Pro Mods, updating existing chassis, fabricating headers and rear-end housings, supplying carbon fiber components, or offering critical at-track support, Larry Jeffers Race Cars has become an anchor brand in the sport and a trusted partner to racers across the country.
“Pro Mod drag racing right now represents a movement in our sport,” said Drag Illustrated Founder & Editorial Director Wes Buck. “It takes an army to support this growing community, and we’re lucky to have guys like Larry Jeffers and his team at Larry Jeffers Race Cars that believe in what we’re doing and support the mission of turning this brand of drag racing into the sport’s premier eliminator. What I’ve seen in Larry is a guy who loves drag racing, loves Pro Mod, and will do whatever he possibly can to keep it rocking and rolling. He supports racers with quick turnarounds on repairs, building a car turn-key on a moment’s notice, or helping at the track whether it’s swinging an engine or making a big chassis adjustment. That’s cool. That’s the spirit that Pro Mod was built on.”
Jeffers echoed the excitement and emphasized how meaningful the partnership is to him and his team. “We love the sport of drag racing, and we love seeing all these Pro Mod racers get to perform on a major league stage,” said Larry Jeffers, owner of Larry Jeffers Race Cars. “The promotion, the hype around these races, the level of competition – it’s all headed in the right direction. A lot of our customers race in the Winter Series, and we want to support them and support the sport however we can. We’re glad to partner with Drag Illustrated to help this thing continue to grow.”
The Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service will once again include three of the most influential races in the sport: the Snowbird Outlaw Nationals on December 4-7, 2025; the U.S. Street Nationals on January 22-25, 2026; and the Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod on February 26-28, 2026. Each race will be contested at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida, where the Winter Series has cemented its place as the most competitive three-race Pro Mod championship in the world.
With LJRC joining the roster of major partners, the Winter Series continues to build momentum and reinforce its position as the premier proving ground for the best doorslammer racers on the planet. Their involvement underscores the industry’s belief in the Winter Series and the growing movement behind Pro Mod drag racing’s rise into a marquee attraction.Tickets and VIP packages for all three events are available now at https://bit.ly/3LvZ4DR
