RETURNING SPONSOR?

A source close to the situation reports that Dave Grubnic's sponsor for 2007 will be a familiar face. Apparently, StriVectin will be replaced with Zantrax3.

We are hearing that a deal with DHL has been in the works with Kalitta Motorsports (and confirmed by a high-ranking official inside the camp) prior to the Las Vegas event. There are several scenarios being bantered around at the present which could ultimately decide if the deal goes on the Scott Kalitta flopper or Hillary Will's dragster. Earlier in the year, the scenario was leaning towards the Ken Black dragster.

Team owner Connie Kalitta recently inked a deal with DHL with his Kalitta Flying Services to render his services with the company.
