Rod passed on Thursday morning after a lengthy battle with Cancer. Trower was well known in the sand drag community as he raced across the country from Michigan to California in a variety of sand drag vehicles ranging from a series of Turbocharged 4 & 6-cylinder entries all the way up to his trademark “Thunder” Top Alcohol Dragster. Rod recorded his quickest pass ever with the TA Dragster at Dome Valley, AZ this year in January recording a 2.422 / 145MPH blast. Rod’s wife Dee always raced alongside of him with highly competitive cars of her own, the Trower Racing team was always a threat to win on any given race day all while have fun at the races. We will always remember Rod’s upbeat nature, his love of the sport, and that trademark grin he flashed. NSDN sends our condolences to the Trower Racing Family & Friends.

Saturday

PTN Championship Weekend 2014 at Little Sandy Raceway in Grayson, KY was full of great action on Saturday from start to finish. The big story of the weekend was Blake Cole backing up his Friday night Pro Shootout win by completing a clean sweep as he again qualified #1 and won the Pro Truck class. This was Blake’s first weekend in his newly acquired Jeep that ran consistent ET’s en route to a final round victory over Jeff Banks. Jason Thompson also completed a sweep as he not only won the PTN 3.95 Index Pro ATV class, but also the 2014 class championship. Kathy Ellington was the big winner in Pro Outlaw recording a 2.62 200’ pass in the final round for the win over Ryan Wilson. Trey Williams was a multi-class winner for Madd Draggin’ Racing in the PSDA classes as he took the Twin Open Unlimited & Twin 650+ Limited classes. Other winners included Joey Cisco (PSDA Three-Cylinder Limited), Terrell Allen (PSDA Twin 0-650+ Limited), Rodney Upchurch (Pro Cars), Chris Followay (Pro ATV), Matt Randolph (Sportsman Car), Tex Andy English (Sportsman ATV), Bryson Turner (Junior ATV), and Drew Epling (Peewees). **RUN SHEETS and FINAL ROUND VIDEOS are now posted**

Here’s the first batch of photos and info sent us from August events in his region.
