Stivers Back on the Trane Track; Testing for Indy |
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Rick Stivers was on a tear at the beginning of the Pro Mod season, scoring one runner-up finish out of two completed events and qualifying hard for a key spot in his third race until a mechanical failure put a crashing stop to his charge for the top. His dramatic crash in St. Louis will long be remembered by those present as one of the miracles of safety in racing. Stivers walked away from the incident, shaken up and bruised but otherwise un-injured, and now, after fully recovering from being shaken and stirred, the feisty horse farmer and HVAC entrepreneur is ready to make a charge to be in the top eight in Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge points and earn the right to compete in the $35,000 MATCO Tools Pro Mod Clash.
