A New Pro Mod Joins the Race
Just yesterday, Ellington and the 187 Customs team took delivery of a brand-new Pro Mod. This car, owned by Keith Haney, is set to compete in both the US Street Nationals and the prestigious World Series of Pro Mod. The car’s state-of-the-art setup promises fierce competition, and fans are eager to see what Sean can achieve behind the wheel.
The US Street Nationals, known for attracting top-tier racers, boasts a $75,000 prize for the winner. It’s a massive opportunity for Ellington to showcase his skills and potentially take home a significant payday.

Why Shawn Ellington Could Dominate
Shawn Ellington is no stranger to high-pressure races. His years of experience as a top-tier street racer and his reputation for handling high-powered machines make him a formidable contender. The new Pro Mod features a twin-turbo setup, a combination that’s proven to be both powerful and reliable. While some may argue that the added weight penalties for twin-turbo setups could hinder performance, recent races suggest otherwise.
Mark Mickie’s car, with a similar configuration, qualified number one at the Snowbird Nationals. This bodes well for Ellington, as the Pro Mod’s setup has already proven its ability to dominate. Additionally, Mike Bowman’s recent switch to turbos further highlights the confidence top racers have in this technology.

Testing on the Fly
Due to tight schedules, Ellington won’t have the opportunity to test the car before the event. However, the US Street Nationals includes two full days of testing before the main competition. This will give Sean and the 187 Customs team ample time to fine-tune the car and adapt to any unforeseen challenges. With the crew’s expertise and Ellington’s talent, fans can expect rapid progress during these sessions.
The Competition Heats Up
The US Street Nationals will feature over 60 competitors, making it one of the most challenging Pro Mod events of the year. Among the competitors, Kye Kelley stands out as a recent example of how NPK racers can transition to Pro Mod success. His impressive performance at a major Pro Mod race has set the bar high for fellow Street Outlaws. Shawn Ellington’s fans are optimistic that he can follow suit and bring home another victory for the Street Outlaws family.
Why This Matters
For fans of Street Outlaws, seeing one of their own excel in the Pro Mod scene is thrilling. It’s a testament to the skill and versatility of racers like Shawn Ellington, who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible on the track.
As we count down the days to the US Street Nationals, anticipation is at an all-time high. Whether Sean dominates the field or faces tough challenges, one thing is certain: this is a race you won’t want to miss.
