The World Series of Pro Mod kicked off with a bang, and as expected, the racing action was nothing short of incredible. With 84 of the baddest Pro Mods in the world battling it out, every round was stacked with heavy hitters. While Kai Kelly didn’t make it past the first round, he made a serious statement, and Scott Taylor is still in the hunt.

Kye Kelley Qualifies and Battles the No. 1 Spot
Kye Kelley had his work cut out for him in round one, facing none other than the No. 1 qualifier, Mark Micke. Kelley got out ahead early, but the twin-turbo power of Micke’s car drove around him at the top end. Both racers put down 3.61-second passes, but Micke edged Kelley out with a 3.610 while Kelley ran a 3.617.
Although he didn’t advance, Kye Kelley’s performance was nothing short of spectacular. He was the only driver to qualify with a steel-bodied car, making it into the top half of one of the toughest Pro Mod fields ever assembled. Qualifying 13th out of 84 competitors in a No Prep Kings-legal car against full-blown Pro Mods? That’s an impressive feat, proving once again that Kelly can hold his own against the best in the game.

Scott Taylor Keeps It Rolling
Scott Taylor, another Street Outlaws No Prep Kings star, had a great showing in round one. He ran a 3.61 at 206 mph, securing his spot in the second round. This comes after a long night of rebuilding his engine and making last-minute adjustments to ensure he was ready to compete. Clearly, all that hard work paid off.
With a strong car and consistent performance, Taylor has a real shot at going deep in this event. He’s got the speed, and if he can string together some solid passes, he could be looking at a big payday.

Other Heavy Hitters to Watch
Mike Bowman also advanced, running a 3.62 to take out Larett. Bowman has been on point all weekend and could be a serious contender as the rounds progress.
Meanwhile, Ken Quartuccio, last year’s World Series of Pro Mod champion, is still in the mix. He put down a 3.58-second pass, showing that he’s not giving up his crown without a fight. With so many fast cars still in, it’s shaping up to be an all-out battle for the $150,000 prize.
What’s Next?
With round one in the books, all eyes are on Scott Taylor as he looks to keep the momentum going. Can he bring home the win for Team New Orleans and Street Outlaws No Prep Kings? One thing’s for sure—this race is far from over, and the action is only heating up!
