After a breakout performance at the Route 66 Nationals in Chicago, NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Chris Bostick is gearing up for another high-octane weekend as he heads to the Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee, June 6–8.
Just two weeks ago, Bostick and the Surf Signature RV Resort by Zeman team made waves in Joliet by advancing to the semifinals — his strongest result since Dallas 2023. The breakthrough came after a 6.86-second qualifying run at 198 mph, followed by back-to-back round wins that proved the program’s progress is real and building.
“Chicago was a turning point for us,” Bostick said. “We’ve been grinding, learning, and making changes — and now it’s all starting to pay off.”
Now, Bostick sets his sights on Thunder Valley, a race that hits especially close to home for the Tennessee native. He’ll return to competition not only as a semifinalist but also as a featured contender in the Mission Foods Too Fast Too Tasty Challenge, a special showcase for standout racers from the previous event.
“Bristol is my home track, so to come in with momentum and be part of the Too Fast Too Tasty Challenge makes this weekend even more meaningful,” Bostick added. “We’re not backing off — we’re charging forward.”
Bostick credits his recent success to a total team effort led by Crew Chief Tim Kulungian, along with technicians Rick Elmore and Chris Parker, whose hard work and precision tuning have elevated the Surf RV Resort Suzuki to contender status.
As the NHRA season heats up, Bostick and his team are ready to build on their success and show fans that they’re here to compete — and to win.
