Rookie NHRA Pro Stock Driver Camrie Caruso to compete in first-ever ‘Pro Stock All-Star Callout’ in Chicago, May 28.

On May 20th, eight of the best Pro Stock drivers will come together to compete in the first-ever NHRA Pro Stock All-Star Callout. Second-year Pro Stock driver and reigning NHRA Rookie of the Year Camrie Caruso is excited to be one of the drivers selected for this unique specialty race. The event is part of the NHRA’s return to Chicago, which will take place at the Gerber Collision & Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals presented by PEAK Performance at Route 66 Raceway.

Caruso has had a great season so far, winning her first Pro Stock event at the Arizona Nationals and finishing in the semifinals at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals. She is ready to take on some of the best and brightest stars in Pro Stock racing. Caruso will be competing against three of her KB Titan Racing teammates, as well as Elite Motorsports drivers Aaron Stanfield, Troy Coughlin Jr., Cristian Cuadra, and defending world champ Erica Enders. Dallas Glenn, another KB Titan Racing driver, is seeded first.

The NHRA Pro Stock All-Star Callout is a marquee attraction, and there is a distinct KB Titan Racing versus Elite Motorsports theme heading into the shootout where big money and bragging rights will be on the line. The eight standouts will be pitted against each other in thrilling matchups. Glenn will get the first selection to call out his opening-round opponent, followed by Hartford and down the line until the first-round matchups are set.

Caruso is looking forward to seeing how the callouts breakdown, saying, “I know there will be a lot of discussion about who everyone will be picking. This is great for the class and when you look at the KB Titan versus Elite line-up, it should make for a great race. Both teams have amazing drivers.”
