HAWLEY'S GOOD AND BAD NEWS

Frank Hawley will race at least once more this season in the Roger Burgess Funny Car sponsored hawley2.JPGby Rite-Aid Pharmacies.

The two-time Funny Car champion more than made a good impression by ascending as high as second in the qualifying order. His accolade came with one of the major drawbacks of having a two-car team.

The two-time Funny Car champion more than made a good impression by ascending as high as second in the qualifying order. His accolade came with one of the major drawbacks of having a two-car team.

Hawley will meet Gotham City Racing’s primary team car driven by Melanie Troxel in the first round of eliminations during the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals in Reading, Pa.

"I was joking with the guys after the run and said, 'just call the boss and say there's good news and there's bad news,” Troxel said. “We just look on the positive side. That means that one of us is going to the second round.”

Hawley added, "Clearly, I'd like to race Melanie in the finals, but that's not going to happen. I just hope one of us is in the finals."
