Promoter-racer Justin Swanstrom adds Pro Mod and Extreme Pro Mod to Swanfest – Money In The Bank, running October 1-3 at Rockingham Dragway, addressing the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series cancellations.
The move gives displaced IHRA Pro Mod and Outlaw Pro Mod teams a meaningful alternative late in the season.

He admits initial hesitation about support but continues the calculated risk-taking that built the Swangang series.
Pro Mod and Extreme Pro Mod join Swanfest to serve racers affected by the IHRA cancellations.
Swanfest already features Extreme 275, 28” Class, DMV Heavy Hitter Street, and the invite-only Cub on Cub Crime.
Tickets opened July 13, with record first-day sales that signal robust fan demand for the expanded program.
Tickets launched July 13 and set a first-day sales record for Swanfest.

Swanstrom is finalizing more classes to widen entry options.
