Dyno Joe Cram Looking For Coyote Modified Title In 2015 NMRA Season

2015 Ford Racing Cobra Jet Showdown Cram ran a limited NMRA schedule last year, taking part in only three races, and instead staying closer to home to focus on his business. “We were running a mostly stock Coyote engine with an Edelbrock blower, and just making sure we got out to a few races to give our sponsors the exposure they needed, and test out Coyote Modified.”

For 2015, Cram has brought on Deatschwerks as his new primary sponsor. The high tech fueling solutions company will be backing Cram as he makes his way through the entire NMRA schedule for 2015, hitting all six scheduled races. Cram told us, “We’re going for a championship this year. It’s the one thing that’s missing from my racing resume, and it’s long overdue.”

2015 Ford Racing Cobra Jet Showdown  Watson Racing also continues to provide their sponsorship and support.

Cram says that depending on how his early testing and the NMRA season opener goes, he may head out to compete in a few Ultra Street races as well. There his car can run at a much lower weight, although that may take some tweaking to his setup to get down the track the way he wants to.

With Cram making the full NMRA schedule this year, and the power we expect his Holbrook built engine to make, he’ll definitely be in the mix for a title this year. While nothing is ever certain in drag racing, we expect to see Dyno Joe Cram making a dent in the Coyote Modified field all season long, holding a few Wallys at the end of the season, and maybe walking away with a championship.
