Brittany Force was back on the track
Sunday, despite spending some time at University Medical Center in Las Vegas
with a slight concussion the evening before.

Doug Foley, co-owner of the Foley & Lewis Top Fuel team, said
Sunday that Rick Cooper would not return in 2007 as the driver of the
second Torco-sponsored dragster.
 
"We'll have a second car, but it won't be with Rick Cooper in the
seat," Foley said during NHRA testing at the Nitro Blast-Off at The
Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Just 18 months and 27 national events since his first pass in a nitro Funny Car,
Mike Ashley is thrilled to be back as a team owner and driver. After having
competed under the umbrellas of two of the top teams in drag racing, the
two-time champion has broken out on his own to set a course for the
top.
 
Since his announcement of his new role at the Finals in Pomona in
November, Ashley has assembled an all-star team including crew chief Brian
Corradi, veteran and world champion Mark Oswald, "blower wiz" Chuck Ford (crew
chief on Ashley's championship-winning Pro Mod), even  past champion Frank
Hawley, known for his mentoring and training to the sport’s top stars.

Brittany Force crashes -- Ashley Force's first test run since turning professional Tuesday (a 10.824-second elapsed time at 71.88 mph) looked to be the hot family topic of the day. But 20-year-old younger sister Brittany later got the attention in a way nobody wanted to see.
 
Brittany Force suffered a slight concussion Saturday evening after her Brand Source-sponsored Super Comp dragster hit the left retaining wall during her second run of the day. She was conscious and sitting up following the accident but reportedly had a temporary memory loss.
 

Kenny Bernstein's Monster Energy Dodge Charger rolled off the trailer
around nine o'clock Saturday morning, but it didn't roll down the
track. In fact, according to an NHRA technical official, it didn't pass
the tech inspection because the rods were too narrow underneath. So the
crew, under the direction of veterans Ray Alley and Johnny West, worked
the rest of the day to make adjustments.

Bernstein, who has four Funny Car series titles among his six
championships, said he knew "we had a lot of work to do." Still, he
said he had hoped to "try to go make something happen today."
