PMRA kicks off new season at US 131 Motorsports Park in Michigan
NORTH TONAWANDA, NY (April 30, 2026) – Last year’s Pro Modified Racing Association winner at the Thunder Nationals at US 131 Motorsports Park said he will be ready for the upcoming race May 10-11 at the Martin, Michigan drag strip.
“We’re all set, we’ll be ready for May 10,” said Jack Grainy, driver of the Grainy Brothers 1967 Chevy Camaro out of North Tonawanda, New York. “The engine is in, the car is getting pinstriped, and we’ve put on a new front end, but it’s basically the same.”
The veteran team, which has been racing since the late 1960s, won the inaugural Martin PMRA race last year, defeating 2012 PMRA champion Eric Latino of Whitby, Ontario, in the process.
The win was the first for Grainy, who has been with the PMRA since its inception and first year of racing in 2005.
