This weekend’s AAA Insurance Midwest Nationals have been filled with drama and excitement. With more Pro Mods on the grounds than we’ve seen in forever, plus some of the best Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock action, we’re pretty sure this one will go down in the record books. There has certainly been no shortage of excitement, with Mike Bowman going all the way into the safety net in his amazingly cool Pro Mod Chevelle, but luckily Mike was unhurt. The same can’t be said for the poor Chevelle.
Here are the videos.

Bowman into the sand, and the net.
A friend pointed out that that promod must have had some horrible brake bias to heat up those front rotors red hot yet nothing coming off the rear tires.
