NHRA PRO STOCK

The information:
championship-winning chassis shop of RJ Race Cars and Quarter-Max. Built for car owner Othell Welch, this brand new 2023 Ford Mustang will be campaigned by NHRA Pro Stock driver Cristian Cuadra this upcoming season.

Cristian, the youngest of the “Cuadra Boys”, heads into 2023 with momentum from an eighth-place finish last season and continued support from Corral Boots, the Cuadra Family, and the Elite Motorsports team.

RJ Race Cars celebrated the success of their customers in 2022, with Elite Motorsports team driver Erica Enders capturing her 5th NHRA Pro Stock World Championship in dominating fashion with 10 national event wins in 13 final round appearances. Enders also set the quickest pass in Pro Stock history since the class switched to electronic fuel injection in 2016 with a 6.450 in her RJ built Chevy Camaro. Team Elite teammates Aaron Stanfield and Troy Coughlin Jr both had multiple national event wins during the season and finished 3rd and 4th in the standings. Last season in total, RJ customers took home the Pro Stock Wally an impressive 15 times out of 18 races.

“The Cuadra family is very passionate about racing and we are very excited to see Cristian behind the wheel of an RJ car. Cristian is an impressive driver and we can’t wait to watch him capture his first NHRA Pro Stock Wally, hopefully, it will happen this season in the new RJ car.” said Rick Jones
