Revving Up the Competition as Keith Haney Heads to the World Series of Pro Mod
Keith Haney Racing (KHR) is set to compete in the Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod on March 3-5, 2023, at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Haney and his team have left their Oklahoma shop and are ready to test during the week to gear up for the big race.
With the team having ended the previous season with a runner-up, Haney believes all the off-season work will be a big benefit for the team. The team has made many upgrades, including a new motorhome and trailer, replacing the one KHR had campaigned for 18 years.
“Brandon (Switzer) has made some big changes. We really feel like we ended the season on a high note with a Runner-Up finish at the Summit Racing Equipment Mid-West Drag Racing Series finale at Xtreme Raceway Park in October,” states Keith Haney. “We’ve got a lot to build on.”
Haney is excited to compete against fellow series owner (PDRA) Tommy Franklin. Franklin and Haney will square off Friday night in the “Rivals” pairings during qualifying.
“I really feel like we are organized and on our game. The opportunity to race fellow series owner Tommy Franklin is huge. We don’t get the chance much and we are going after it. Nitrous on Nitrous. May the best win,” states Haney.
Although 50-plus drivers have been invited to the WSOPM, only the 32 quickest drivers will qualify for a chance to win the $100,000 winner-take-all cash prize. Haney is confident that he and his team are organized and ready to take on the challenge, even though the rules require him to add 75lbs to the car which was shocking, but the team will do what we have to do to “Show Up and Show Out”.
“We’ve got a bunch of the MWDRS guys headed South to battle as well. We are all excited to bring back the cash to the Mid-West. I’ll remind you, You Know My Name!” said Haney.
“I’m excited that my wife, Misty, and all our kids are coming to Florida to support me for this amazing race,” Haney said. “This is very rare with all the farm animals, sports, and other activities they have going on. I’m excited to share this moment with them.”
