MTS "MAIL FROM HOME PROGRAM" TO LAUNCH IN POMONA

Mail Terminal Services, sponsor of the MTS
Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car that Jack Beckman will drive in the 2007 NHRA
POWERade Drag Racing Series for Don Schumacher Racing, will introduce the
"Mail from Home" program at the season-opening event at the Auto Club
Raceway at Pomona (Calif.), Feb. 8-11.

DSR and MTS, through its partnerships with the U.S. Post Office and DHL
Globalmail, will honor service personnel of a different war-zone camp in
Iraq and Afghanistan at each of the 23 NHRA national events in 2007 by
displaying the camp name on the MTS Funny Car.

PAUL PAGE TO LEAD ESPN2 TEAM

When ESPN2 comes to the starting line for its coverage of
the 2007 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, fans will notice an exciting new look
and feel to the telecasts as well as a new lead announcer. The season kicks off
at Pomona, Calif., Feb. 8-11, and veteran motorsports announcer Paul Page will
bring more than 30 years of experience to the booth for ESPN2’s coverage of the
NHRA.

Page, who anchored select NHRA telecasts on ESPN2 in 2006,
has been a familiar face and voice to race fans since 1974. He served as lead
announcer for the Indianapolis 500 on either radio or TV for more than 25
years. 

“Last year was an incredibly close season for the NHRA not
only in the round-by-round competition but also in the championship battles,”
said Page. “I’ve done a team tour over the winter and that’s really gotten me
pumped for the new season.”

JEGGIE PULLING DOUBLE DUTY IN POMONA

While his main focus remains the pursuit of the 2007 NHRA POWERade Pro Stock
championship, Jeg Coughlin will also remain active in NHRA’s sportsman classes
when the new season opens at the Winternationals in Pomona, Calif., Feb. 8-11.
In addition to his full-time ride in the Slammers Ultimate Milk/Jegs.com Pro
Stock Cobalt, the three-time NHRA World Champion will also be racing a JEGS.com
Chevy Cavalier in Super Stock.
 
“I'm really looking forward to driving a second car in Pomona,” said
Coughlin. “Last year, I had the opportunity to do a lot of sportsman racing in a
number of different cars and I really enjoyed it. I made over 500 runs which is
obviously many more than I would have made if I was just racing in Pro Stock. I
have always believed that there is no substitute for seat time and I try to
treat every runs as a learning experience, no matter what I'm racing so I think
that racing in Super Stock will be beneficial for me as a driver. It should also
be a lot of fun.

MORGAN LUCAS - DOUBLE DUTY IN 2007

Taking a page from Kevin Harvick’s 2006 NASCAR Busch Grand National
series playbook, a highly energetic Morgan Lucas will mount an all-out
assault on the Lucas Oil championship in 2007, racing his family-owned
Lucas Oil Top Alcohol dragster in conjunction with his professional
operation on the NHRA POWERade tour.

Expanding his racing horizons is nothing new to Lucas, as he did
double-duty for part of the season in 2006, capturing back-to-back
Lucas Oil series event wins at Infineon Raceway in Somona, Calif., in
what proved to be a dress rehearsal for a campaign of nearly 31 races
in 2007.

With twin titles in mind, Lucas has retained the services of
championship tuner, Steve Boggs for his Top Alcohol assault. The
addition of Boggs, who took Mitch Meyers to the title in 2004, has
Lucas psyched about his season.
