Our friends at General Motors are keeping mum on the subject, but could this be 2009's Pro Stock body style of choice?

Motor Mile Dragway has already started some major expansions for the
Inaugural ADRL Independence Drags coming this summer on July 6th and7th,
2007.

"We're extending the shutdown area by 300 feet to allow for some
faster track speeds," said owner David Hagan. "We're also adding an
additional 3,000 seats to accommodate additional spectators."

Throughout its rich history as a leader in drag racing competition, Chevrolet
has built a winning legacy unsurpassed by any manufacturer in the history of the
sport. Now the red bowtie will continue to raise the performance bar in NHRA
Funny Car this season with the introduction of the 2007 Impala SS beginning with
the series' first event at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona (Calif.) on Feb. 8 -
11.

Few vehicles have enjoyed the ongoing success of the Chevy Impala.
Its quiet strength is an inherited attribute that is blended into a sporty sedan
that offers stylish design, captivating performance and surprising details,
including the latest version of the legendary small-block V-8 in the Impala SS.
The legendary nameplate is ready to reaffirm the red bowtie's commitment to
excellence in NHRA Funny Car competition and continue the American Revolution
that is uniquely Chevrolet.

The first shovels of dirt have been moved as construction has begun on the new
drag strip at Mansfield
(Ohio) Motorsports
Park. Crews moved the first equipment
into position shortly after 9 a.m. Monday morning and by the end of the day, the
first layers of topsoil had been graded and moved.

“We’ve had a lot
of hoops to jump through with the Ohio EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, but
we have those issues worked out and we’re full speed ahead on construction,”
said Chris Mize, president and general manager of the oval track at Mansfield
Motorsports Park. “The first phase is simply getting the land graded, and it’s a
pretty decent sized project. We’ll end up moving over 250,000 cubic yards of
material. Just to give an idea of how much work that is, we plan on having about
10 pans out there and each one holds about 15 to 16 cubic yards of
material.”

Royal Purple® is pleased to announce its second year as an associate
sponsor of Greg Stanfield for the 2007 NHRA Pro Stock series. But, that’s not
all. In addition to their sponsorship agreement, Stanfield and Royal Purple will
be teaming up to make a donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. They will be
creating and selling posters with Greg and his racecar at both the Royal Purple
website (http://www.royalpurple.com/) and on the
NHRA trailer where Greg’s shirts are sold.  All of the proceeds will be donated
to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital at the end of the season.

During
the second year of his program “A Team on a Mission,” Mike Edwards with the support of
fellow racers, business executives, and team owners was able to send more than
175 kids to a Young Life camp after raising in excess of $70,000 for the program
in 2006.

To
date the program has sent more than 300 kids to a Young Life camp. “This is what
the racing family is all about,” Edwards said. “We are out battling each other
on track, but when it came to helping the kids, we all came together as one
team.

After
a successful inaugural visit last year, The Pro
Modified Racing Association will be heading back to the fabled Quebec dragstrip in
2007.

The
Second Annual Eaton PMRA Challenge Presented by Eaton’s electrical business,
manufacturers of Cutler-Hammer and Powerware brand products, will be held
Saturday, August 18, 2007 at Sanair, just south of Montreal.

“We’re
pleased the PMRA and Eaton are returning to Sanair,” said Sanair Track Owner and
General Manager Jacques Guertin. “Our fans enjoyed the event and it was a
terrific success last year. The PMRA teams put on a great show, and their return
will be one of the highlights of racing at Sanair.”

After several weeks of trying to create a set of rules that would
result in a level playing field for its newest professional class, Pro
10.5, the Flowmaster American Drag Racing League competition committee
announced today a major twist to its version of the ultra-popular 10.5
cars. Beginning with the first event of 2007, there will be no
performance or minimum weight
restrictions on the 10.5 cars that run in the ADRL.

The 10.5 cars will continue to be required to meet all of the ADRL's
safety and appearance requirements. In addition, all 10.5 cars running
in the ADRL must have working headlights and tail lights, mufflers, and
working suspension. A complete set of rules will be available in the
rules section at www.adrl.us in the coming days.
