thousands of daily readers.

Doc's Harley-Davidson, Missouri's oldest exclusive Harley-Davidson dealership,
is partnering with three-time POWERade champ Angelle Sampey and Karl Klement
Racing for the 2008 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle tour. "I'm very excited to
represent a dealership," said Sampey, a motorcycle dealer herself. "My dad's
been riding Harley-Davidsons all my life, so I'm really excited about
it."
 
Based just outside of St. Louis in Kirkwood, Doc's is the number 1
(out of 682) Harley-Davidson dealer in the country for the new purchase
experience over a rolling 12 month average. Interestingly, Doc's is also owned
by a woman—Pat Bush. "Pat rides, used to drag race, and loves Pro Stock
Motorcycle racing," said Doc's marketing director Rich Blosser. "She's attracted
to the idea of Angelle as a woman rider. She'd heard from George Bryce (the
six-time champion tuner of Sampey's Rush Racing Buell) that Angelle had the best
natural talent he'd ever seen."
 
"When Karl brought Angelle on board, it
was the biggest story in racing and we wanted to be a part of it," said Jim
Wagner of Doc's. Wagner is Doc's sales leader now, but in the past he led Doc's
racing assault on the flat tracks.

Queensland based Drag Racing star
Kath Stevens from the Jack Daniel’s Racing team celebrated her 31st
birthday in fine style by setting a World Record at the Western Sydney
International Dragway tonight (16th February).

Kath is the only female in Australia that
competes against the men in the professional Top Doorslammer bracket, and took
it another step further by becoming the first female in history anywhere in the
world to drive a ‘doored’ car down the quarter-mile strip in 5
seconds.

Lining up against team mate Steve Packman in his SP
Racing Ford Falcon in the B quarter-finals, Kath surprised all by laying down an
amazing 5.96 second pass to take the round win in her 3000 horsepower
beast.

“This is amazing! We have been working and developing
our Brett Stevens Racing built Ford Falcon Top Doorslammers now for around 18
months and it has all finally paid off,” Kath Stevens
said.

As
the memories of a magical 2007 racing season fade, Bruce Litton is
ready to turn the page. A few short months removed from claiming his
first career Top Fuel world championship, Litton and his Lucas Oil Race
Team are gearing up for an all-out assault on the 2008 points chase.

“Winning the IHRA championship was very special, something I will never
forget,” Litton said from his Indianapolis-based race shop. “But I just
looked at the calendar and saw its 2008 now. Everyone is even and I
know it’s going to be a dogfight this season. We’ll have to be at the
top of our game if we hope to make some noise on the IHRA tour this
season. We’re confident we can do well again this season, but if we
think we can just show up and not put in the work we’ll get our tails
kicked. We have to work harder this season than we did last season
because everyone always guns for the guy with the #1 on his car.”

Litton’s 2007 Hadman Dragster will look different in 2008 it recently
received a fresh coat of paint, but the chassis will be the exact one
he drove to three national event victories and the world championship
last season.

At Least 25 Drivers to Appear in New Sponsor
TV Ads, Keeping Fans Tuned to FOX

Unlike the biggest events in other sports, during the Daytona
500 (Feb 17, FOX, 2 p.m.) the sport's athletes appear in virtually
every commercial break, keeping viewers tuned in.

During the FOX broadcast of the 2007 Daytona 500, NASCAR drivers
appeared in 46 percent of the commercials, according to. Dr. Max
Utsler, a professor at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication,
University of Kansas. In all, 19 drivers starred in sponsor spots, and
with at least 25 slated to be featured during the 2008 race, the
percentage of drivers in commercials may rise even higher, Utsler said.

"NASCAR fans like seeing the stars of the sport in sponsors'
commercials – making the sport TiVo-proof," said NASCAR Chief Marketing
Officer Steve Phelps.

The following are the pre-entries received for the 9th annual CSR Eastern Spring Test Nationals presented by Torco's CompetitionPlus.com hosted by South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, Ga.
