Bradenton Replaces Tulsa on 2015 PDRA Schedule

The Professional Drag Racers Association (PDRA) announced Nov. 7, that Bradenton Motorsports Park, near Tampa, FL, will replace Tulsa Raceway Park on its 2015 national-event schedule. Bradenton will host the second-to-last stop on the PDRA’s sophomore tour, Oct. 2-3, 2015, apparently due to schedule conflicts at Tulsa.

“We’re looking forward to going to Bradenton in October,” PDRA Race Director Bob Harris said. “It will be a great market for Pro Mod racing and for our fan base.

“We enjoyed going to Tulsa and hope they’ll be back with us in 2016,” Harris continued. “The circumstances that led to the schedule change were beyond our control. We had a great turnout and a great event in Tulsa.

“We worked very hard to put together a schedule that will be beneficial for our sponsors, racers and fans. Bradenton Motorsports Park will be a great fit for us in 2015.”
