Shane Molinari powered to the qualifying lead Friday during the NHRA J&A Service Pro Mod Drag Racing Series portion of the NHRA Carolina Nationals at zMAX Dragway. This weekend’s Pro Mod racing, presented by the Real Pro Mod Association, is the tenth of 12 events this season.

Molinari ran a 5.778-second pass at 256.55 mph in the second qualifying session in his S & T Truck Repair Inc. ’68 Firebird. 

"We'll make another pass tomorrow and roll the dice. Hopefully we'll get down the track and go some rounds. We just have to go rounds - that's the goal."

Mike Castellana qualified second with a 5.781 at 252.10, and Eric Latino qualified third with a 5.792 at 252.14.

Castellana is currently leading the Pro Mod points standings and has two victories on the year.
