Kevin Fiscus Named 2015 PDRA Pro Boost Season Champion
Bell/Fiscus Racing (BFR) driver Kevin Fiscus, in his PLR 481X-powered ’12 Ford Mustang, secured the 2015 PDRA Pro Boost season points championship with his performance in the Pro Boost class at PDRA Brian Olson Memorial World Finals race, October 22–24, 2015, at Virginia Motorsports Park just outside of Richmond.
Going into eliminations, Fiscus was just over 80 points (less than one round) behind Kevin Rivenbark for the series championship. In round one, Fiscus lined up face Doug Winters—the No. 10 qualified driver. Fiscus took the lead over Winters and the win with a 3.839 at 207.18 mph pass. Rivenbark red lighted in his first round run, and with that bobble, the championship was guaranteed to go to Fiscus. Both Fiscus and teammate Jim Bell will compete at the 15th annual NHRA Toyota Nationals Pro Mod season finale race at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada, October 29–November 1, 2015.
