J.R. Gray completed a dominant performance at zMAX Dragway on Sunday, winning the Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series event during the 15th annual American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals. The Charlotte race marked the third of 10 scheduled events for the 2025 Pro Mod season and was presented by Culp Lumber.

Driving his Al-Anabi Performance Camaro, Gray led the field throughout the weekend, ultimately securing the victory with a 5.656-second pass at 255.73 mph in the final round. The final quad also included Billy Banaka, Alex Laughlin, and Mike Janis.

Gray consistently posted times in the 5.60-second range during eliminations. He won his opening quad with a 5.667 at 256.65 mph and followed up with an even quicker 5.659 at 256.31 mph in the second round. In the final, Gray posted an .025-second reaction time and overtook Banaka to clinch the win.

“We’ve been cutting good lights all day long, and we were just going up to do the same thing again in the final round,” Gray said. “I’m happy with the light and happy with the performance. This team, these guys have made this thing a bullet.”

The victory marks Gray’s first Congruity NHRA Pro Mod win of the season and the second of his career. His performance this weekend also moved him into second place in the championship points standings. Gray entered eliminations as the No. 1 qualifier after a 5.680-second run at 254.76 mph and improved in each subsequent round.

The Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series will be back in action May 15-18 as part of the 25th annual Gerber Collision & Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals presented by PEAK at Route 66 Raceway in Chicago.
