Point standings (top 10) for NHRA professional categories following the 19th
annual O'Reilly NHRA Summer Nationals presented by Castrol GTX at Heartland Park

NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series -

Top qualifier Robert Hight
experienced a nasty fire following his second round victory over Scott Kalitta.

The subsequent fire
resulted in collisions with both retaining walls before coming to a stop in the
sand. Hight said a loss of traction down track led to the fiasco.

 “It started spinning,” Hight said. “That is a
routine deal when it is hot. The things can spin. They have a rev limiter on
them and it never did rev real high so I stayed with it. If you pedal it down
track like that you lose so much fuel it bangs the blower so I stayed with it
and kept driving it and it wasn’t dangerous. It wasn’t even revving up that
high. The rev limiter was holding it and it blew up. It dropped a cylinder and
it lifted that head and then it relit in that cylinder and it blew the head off
of it.”

That’s when things got
ugly in a hurry.

POINTS LEADER CAPPS FAILS TO
QUALIFY: HARTLEY, HIGHT, AND ANDERSON HOLD
ON TO NO. 1 SPOT

POWERade points leader Ron Capps failed to
qualify for the 19th annual O'Reilly NHRA Summer Nationals presented by
Castrol GTX, snapping the longest active qualifying streak in the Funny
Car class at 55 races.

Capps' shocking result overshadowed the low qualifying efforts of Joe
Hartley, Robert Hight, and Greg Anderson, who were all able to maintain
the top rankings they attained Friday.

Entering the race with a 121-point lead in the standings, Capps could
leave Heartland Park Topeka with the No. 1, but he knows his lead will
probably be substantially trimmed.

When Mike Edwards and his Young Life team developed “A Team on a
Mission” and “Sending A Kid To Camp” program for the 2005 season, none
of them knew how far it would reach into the racing community. Now
entering its third year, the program has sent nearly 300 kids to a
Young Life camp, and for 2007 Edwards and his team hopes the program
far exceeds that number.

“We knew the racing community was a giving bunch that would do almost
anything to give those not as fortunate as us a chance at something
better,” Edwards said. “That is why we started this program and now it
is accomplishing just that, giving kids some hope for the future.”

The Hot Rod Power Tour is a great place to meet new people, see new

Motorsports Park to the legendary home of the blues, Beale Street in
downtown Memphis. Entertaining the crowd from 8 until 11 p.m. that
night will be the blues band, Delta Highway. A special collection of
high performance cars will be on display on Beale Street and
limited-edition COMP Cams® Hot Rods on Beale t-shirts will be available
for sale at the COMP Cams® booth throughout the Power Tour.

HARTLEY, HIGHT, ANDERSON SITTING NO. 1 AT HEARTLAND PARK TOPEKA

Little known part-time racer Joe Hartley is the surprise Top Fuel leader at
Heartland Park Topeka Friday after one round of qualifying with a stunning 4.518
seconds at 323.12 mph.

In his first time as the No.1 qualifier in the Top
Fuel category, Hartley is joined by Funny Car heavyweight Robert Hight and Pro
Stock points leader Greg Anderson on the leader board..

Friday's action of the 19th annual O'Reilly NHRA
Summer Nationals presented by Castrol GTX was trimmed by on-and-off rain
showers. Only one round of nitro and about a round and a half of Pro Stock made
it into the books.

Blowing past the likes of four-time champion Tony
Schumacher, current points leader "Hot Rod" Fuller, and the rest of a stout Top
Fuel field, Hartley was the talk of the pits after what was easily the best run
of his career. Even Hartley was surprised when he climbed from his rail at the
top end of the racetrack.

"I can't believe it," the 30-year-old Hartley
said. "We were hoping for a low 4.60 so to go almost a tenth of a second quicker
is really exciting. It snapped the front end up right away and just went
straight down the track nice and easy. The smooth ones are definitely the
quickest ones and that one was very smooth."
