HOOVER RETURNS TO SITE OF LARGEST PAYDAY |
|
Tuesday, 28 July 2009 |
|
For a driver who has won just about everything there is in IHRA
competition over the past 20 years, it is interesting to find that the  moment that stands out most in Ed Hoover’s mind is a win that can’t actually be found in the record books.
While the official books say that the winner of the 2008 Northern
Nationals is and always will be Jim Halsey in a thriller over Mike
Castellana, the real winner that weekend in the minds of many was
Hoover in his legendary Paul Trussell owned ’68 Camaro.
Despite losing in the second round on Sunday, Hoover’s victory Saturday
night overshadowed much of the weekend’s action at last year’s Northern
Nationals as Hoover took home the largest single-day payout in Pro
Modified racing history – a whopping $50,000 – during the Pro Modified
Shootout at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park.

HOOVER WINS GRAND BEND; TRUSSELL MOTORSPORTS LEADS PRO MOD POINTS |
|
Monday, 20 July 2009 |
 When
discussing the race for the 2009 IHRA Pro Modified world championship,
only two names can be included as a part of the conversation – Ed
Hoover and Kenny Lang.
And they intend to keep it that way.
For the third consecutive race the two rival drivers met in the final
round of an IHRA national event, with Ed Hoover once again getting the
edge when it mattered most.
“It feels good to overcome the adversities we had this weekend. We put
an engine in last night until 3 a.m. and first thing this morning I did
a burnout and the thing had zero oil pressure,” Hoover said. “Luckily
the guy red lighted on me and we came back and got the engine fixed.
“Thankfully the engine stayed together enough to get us the win. It was a great weekend for Trussell Motorsports.”

HOOVER TOPS FRIDAY GRAND BEND QUALIFYING |
|
Saturday, 18 July 2009 |
HOOVER CONTINUES PRO MOD DOMINANCE
 Cool
weather created great racing conditions Friday night as more track
records fell by the wayside in Pro Modified and Bruce Litton (Top
Fuel), Ed Hoover (Pro Modified), John Montecalvo (Pro Stock) and Jack
Grainy (PMRA) held down the top spots in their respective divisions.
After resetting the track records in Edmonton last week Hoover
(Gilbert, S.C.) repeated that feat Friday with a new track speed record
at over 240 miles per hour to take the provisional No. 1 qualifying
spot and Last Man Standing award in Pro Mod at the MOPAR Canadian
Nationals Friday at the Grand Bend Motorplex in Grand Bend, Ontario.
Hoover ran a 6.021 elapsed time at 240.68 mph to take the top spot in
Pro Modified just moments before Ray Commisso (Toronto, Ontario) took
the ride of his life.
