Prock, whose father and brother are crew chiefs on Hight’s car, will make his debut in the Funny Car class at the SCAG Power Equipment PRO Superstar Shootout next month. Prock expressed gratitude for the opportunity and is looking forward to racing again. The NHRA season begins in Gainesville, Florida on March 10.
