CONCORD, N.C. (April 26, 2026) – Mike Stavrinos picked up his first win of the season in the JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports on Sunday at zMAX Dragway, taking the holeshot victory in a thrilling final round as part of this weekend’s 16th annual NHRA 4-Wide Nationals.
This weekend’s event was the third of 11 races in the category during the 2026 campaign and was powered by Culp Lumber.
Stavrinos went 5.669 seconds at 253.56 mph in the final round in his Al-Anabi Performance Camaro, but needed every bit of his .016 reaction time to hold off No. 1 qualifier Justin Bond at the finish line, as well as Jason Collins and Stan Shelton in what turned out to be an incredible championship round.
Bond, who won the most recent event in Phoenix, went 5.658 at 253.66, but Stavrinos used the strong starting-line advantage to win by just .009, getting his fourth career win in the category.
“Usually when I win one of things I’m pretty calm, but today I’m amped up,” Stavrinos said. “This team puts so much dedication into this hot rod and I couldn’t do it without them. There are so many people to thank and I’m just so happy to be taking this one home.”
Stavrinos, who qualified second, won both of his quads to reach the final round, using a strong .017 reaction time in the opening round and an impressive pass of 5.683 at 251.86 a round later. Bond finished as the runner-up in his second final-round appearance of the season and Collins was third.
Bond moved into the points lead with the runner-up advantage, while Stavrinos jumped to fourth in the loaded class after the win.
The JBS Equipment NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by Elite Motorsports returns to action May 1-3 with the NHRA Southern Nationals at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, Ga.
