Street Outlaws Racers Entering the Battle
A total of ten NPK stars will be taking on the challenge at the World Series of Pro Mod, proving that these racers are more than just no-prep specialists. Here’s a look at who’s throwing down and what they’re bringing to the table.
Kye Kelley – A Proven Winner
Kye Kelley, fresh off a win at the Snowbird Nationals, is expected to be a major contender. His car is among the fastest in the field, and with one winter series victory already under his belt, he's ready to make a statement.
Shawn Ellington – Stepping Up in Pro Mod
Shawn “Murder Nova” Ellington is piloting Keith Haney’s twin-turbo Pro Mod with a powerful Pro Line Hemi. Though he didn’t qualify at the U.S. Street Nationals due to limited testing, he still managed an impressive 3.67-second pass on just his second full hit. With more seat time, he’s poised to qualify this time around.

Scott Taylor – Fast and Consistent
Scott Taylor already proved his car’s potential by qualifying and winning the first round at the U.S. Street Nationals. His ProCharged Hemi-powered setup is dialed in, making him a legitimate threat at the World Series of Pro Mod.
Robin Roberts – Building Momentum
Robin Roberts is bringing his brand-new Firebird to the event, now equipped with a fresh Hart’s Charger setup. While he didn’t qualify at the U.S. Street Nationals, his car is still in the early stages of development, and more passes should mean better performance.

Jimmy Taylor – Adapting to a New Combination
Jimmy Taylor has switched his former nitrous radial car to a screw-blown Hemi setup. He didn’t make the field at the U.S. Street Nationals, but with more runs, his car has the potential to qualify in a stacked field.
Mike Bowman – A Former Champion Returns
Mike Bowman, who won the first-ever World Series of Pro Mod race back in 2017, is back in the game. He recently transitioned from a ProCharger setup to twin turbos, but his new combination didn’t get him into the show at the last event. However, with more testing, expect him to be much more competitive this time around.
Alex Laughlin – Looking for Consistency
Alex Laughlin’s screw-blown Hemi, built by Pro Line Racing, has the potential to make the most power in the field. However, inconsistency has plagued his efforts so far. If he can sort out his gremlins, he’ll be a serious contender.

Clay Cole – Bringing His NPK Ride to Pro Mod
Clay Cole skipped the last two winter series races but is back in action with his No Prep Kings car at the World Series of Pro Mod. If his car meets the weight requirements, he could be a serious factor.
Larry Larson – Experimenting with New Power
Larry Larson has been running his Chevy II and recently put down a solid 3.70-second pass. He’s also using the Hart’s Charger setup, which makes his performance an interesting comparison against the ProCharger-powered cars in similar conditions.
Cole – Ready for the Challenge
Cole is also bringing his No Prep Kings car to this event, powered by a Pro Line Racing-built Hemi. He’s been logging a lot of test passes to get dialed in and is expected to be much stronger this time around.
Final Thoughts
With ten elite NPK racers in the mix, the World Series of Pro Mod is shaping up to be one of the most exciting races of the year. These drivers are stepping out of their no-prep comfort zones and proving they can compete with the best in Pro Mod racing. With fierce competition, cutting-edge technology, and a hunger to win, expect these Street Outlaws stars to put on a show.
