JBS EQUIPMENT NAMED 2026 NHRA PRO MOD SERIES TITLE SPONSOR; ELITE MOTORSPORTS NAMED PRESENTING SPONSOR

NHRA officials announced today that JBS Equipment will serve as the official series sponsor for the 2026 NHRA Pro Mod season, while Elite Motorsports will add to the partnership as the presenting sponsor for the upcoming season.

Justin Bond, a longtime competitor and supporter of the NHRA Pro Mod class and owner of JBS Equipment, has stepped forward to support the category in a major way by becoming the series sponsor for the 2026 campaign. Bond has also played an active role in helping grow the class over the years and continues that commitment through this partnership.

“We are proud to be a part of the NHRA Pro Mod class and are looking forward to a great season,” said Bond. “This category continues to deliver incredible competition and excitement for fans, and we’re excited to support its continued growth.”

Joining JBS Equipment in supporting the class is Elite Motorsports, which is led by team owner Richard Freeman and has signed on as the presenting sponsor for the 11-race season in 2026. Elite Motorsports is widely recognized as one of the most successful teams in NHRA competition and has long been a strong supporter of the Pro Mod category.

“We’re excited to partner with the NHRA Pro Mod series this season,” said Freeman. “The class represents some of the most competitive and thrilling racing in drag racing, and we’re proud to help support its future.”

With the addition of JBS Equipment as series sponsor and Elite Motorsports as presenting sponsor, the 2026 NHRA Pro Mod season is positioned for another exciting year of competition featuring some of the fastest and most powerful doorslammer race cars in the world.

Derek Menholt won the season-opening race on Sunday in Gainesville and the JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports returns to action March 20-22 with the FMP NHRA Arizona Nationals presented by NGK Spark Plugs at Firebird Motorsports Park in Phoenix.

“It’s great to see two premier companies become the title and presenting sponsors for the NHRA Pro Mod class during its 25th season and NHRA’s 75th anniversary,” NHRA Vice President and Chief Development Officer Brad Gerber said. “The category continues to offer incredible action and be a fan-favorite across the country. We’re thrilled to see it continue to grow with these two companies during such an important year for the class and NHRA.”
