Scruggs Headlines Early Qualifiers for National Guard ADRL in Memphis
MILLINGTON, TN (May 22, 2009) — A brilliant, record-setting run by Pro Extreme star Jason Scruggs highlighted the opening round of qualifying today for National Guard ADRL Quarter-Max Memphis Drags II at Memphis Motorsports Park. Scruggs covered the Memphis eighth mile in an incredible 3.66 seconds at 207.43 miles per hour with his supercharged ’68 Camaro, making it the quickest and fastest pass in history by a full-bodied drag racing car.
“To be honest, I feel very fortunate,” the cotton farmer and businessman from Saltillo, Mississippi said. “I knew it was on a good pass, but it surprised me just how good it was. Everything had to come together just about perfect for that to happen.”

National Guard ADRL Expands Online Event Coverage
O’FALLON, MO (May 20, 2009) – To enhance the online experience of its fans and racers, the National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL) is rolling out an expanded and improved Internet-based reporting package, beginning May 21-23, from its Quarter-Max Memphis Drags II at Memphis Motorsports Park.
The weekend coverage kicks off Thursday night from Silky O’Sullivan’s Pub (183 Beale St.) in downtown Memphis, where host “Big Don” Ellison will debut National Guard ADRL Online Radio at 7 p.m., featuring interviews with drivers and crew members from all five National Guard ADRL professional classes as part of an open-to-the-public, pre-race party. A prominent link on the official National Guard ADRL Web site (www.ADRL.us) will connect listeners to the show.
The National Guard ADRL Web site also will sport a new look this weekend, opening with a special-event front page to direct viewers either to a race coverage menu or to the traditional ADRL.us layout. Once on the race coverage page and starting at noon on Friday, May 22, users will be able to choose from watching live timing and scoring displays of all qualifying and elimination runs from the Quarter-Max Memphis Drags II, listening to the live play-by-play call of National Guard ADRL announcers Al Tucci and Brian Olson, or viewing round-by-round written coverage of what’s happening on the track.
Additionally, a National Guard ADRL Notebook will feature insights, interviews and insider information from the pits, along with select photos and videos to illustrate the action, plus an online photo gallery that will grow as the weekend progresses.
“I’m excited about getting the National Guard ADRL Online Radio show going,” said Ellison. “I think the fans are really going to enjoy getting to know these drivers a little better and we’re going to have plenty of opportunities for online interaction with them.”
Among those already confirmed to appear on the inaugural National Guard ADRL Online Radio show are Pete Berner, driver of the Quarter-Max 2008 Pontiac GXP in the Extreme Pro Stock category, National Guard-backed Pro Extreme drivers Joshua Hernandez and Travis Swearingen, Pro Extreme Motorcycle newcomer Angelle Sampey with Star Racing team owner George Bryce, and Extreme 10.5 driver Bill Devine.

ICEMAN BACK IN THE SADDLE FOR AL-ANABI IN MEMPHIS AND BEYOND
(5-20-2009) TUSCALOOSA, Alabama – Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the world’s most accomplished nitrous racer would have to get back behind the wheel and do what he does best, and that is exactly what will happen this weekend during the 2nd running of the ADRL Quarter-Max Memphis Drags as Shannon “The Iceman” Jenkins will return to the driver’s seat for the first time since the season-opener in Houston.
When asked if he was excited to get back behind the wheel Jenkins didn’t hesitate to show his enthusiasm.
“This is what I do,” Jenkins said from the Tuscaloosa, Alabama-based Al-Anabi Racing facility. “I drive race cars. And to say the least, I’m real excited to get back after it in Memphis. We had a minor setback and I took some time out of the driver’s seat to get this team organized; it has really started to pay off and we’ve got a group of extremely competitive race cars in this camp.”
Jenkins, who maintains the No. 14 spot in the SPEEDTECH Nitrous ADRL Battle for the Belts point standings, has spent the days leading up the ADRL Memphis Drags testing his fly-weight Pro Nitrous ’68 Chevy Camaro, seeing results that were more than satisfying.
“Right out of the trailer our SPEEDTECH/Al-Anabi Racing ’68 Camaro went .975, 3.93,” reported Jenkins. “We’ve got a good baseline and down in Memphis, in the heat, I think we’ve got a program capable of winning the race. It’s been awhile since we’ve run at Memphis, but I’m looking forward to getting back to business as usual.”
Along with Jenkins, Mike Castellana, who currently is third in the SPEEDTECH Nitrous ADRL Battle for the Belts points standings, will once again take on the ultra competitive Pro Nitrous category behind the wheel of the Al-Anabi Racing ’68 Pontiac Firebird looking to lock up a second ADRL victory for the ’09 season. The Westbury, New York native has seen his share of success this season, but it will probably take a combination of his patented super-quick reaction times and equally fast elapsed times to bring home the big check in Memphis as the ADRL’s Pro Nitrous division continues to raise the bar, performance wise, with the completion of each event.
Just 6 weeks after knocking off the quickest and fastest pass in the history of ADRL Pro Nitrous competition with a 3.871 at 196.33mph, K.A. Balooshi will return to ADRL Pro Nitrous competition looking to duplicate that performance and demonstrate the consistency necessary to go rounds on race day. Balooshi, “The Beast from the Middle East”, has showcased his constantly improving driving skills in two continents in 2009, competing for the Arabian Drag Racing League in Qatar and Bahrain, as well as here in the United States of America in the ADRL. The Memphis Drags may provide the standout Pro Nitrous driver to earn a birth in the all-important SPEEDTECH Nitrous ADRL Battle for the Belt.
Burton Auxier will also look to flex his muscles on the outlaw eighth-mile of the American Drag Racing League on behalf of Al-Anabi Racing this weekend in Tennessee, hopefully building on an already successful season that has earned him the No. 5 spot in the points. Fresh off a win in the quarter-mile NHRA Pro Modified series, Auxier has shown the kind of race day consistency that is crucial to a successful racing program and when the track heats up on Saturday afternoon during the early rounds of eliminations, his experience will be the tool he uses to put an Al-Anabi-backed hot rod in the final.
Open testing begins at noon on Friday, May 22nd for ADRL Quarter-Max Memphis Drags II with the opening round of qualifying slated for 7:00 PM. Qualifying continues on Saturday at 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM with pre-race ceremonies beginning at 6:45 PM with eliminations following.

Smith Tops 200 and Takes Holeshot Win!
Drag Racing List - Smith Tops 200 and Takes Holeshot Win!
The Texas Outlaw Pro Mod Association raced at the opening of the new Dallas Raceway in Crandall. Texas last Friday night. The race won by Gaylen Smith and the Texas Bounty Hunter over LenMar teammate Ken Thomas with a holeshot 3.88 to Thomas' 3.85!
Thomas Takes Runner-up Spot in Dallas
After many years of hard work, Kenny Barnes and the folks at Dallas Raceway welcomed the Texas Outlaw Pro Mods for the first time on Saturday. The new surface would not disappoint as it held the fastest side-by-side runs and the first 200 mph run in TOPMA history.
The TMS gang started out with a BANG in the first round of qualifying. During the burnout a fuel line ruptured and started a fire in the engine compartment. Two fire bottles later, the Bird was in pretty bad shape. Ken and Crew thrashed hard to make the final session of qualifying and they were rewarded with a good 3.95 @ 190mph. This run put them in the #3 position behind LenMar teammate Gaylen Smith 3.90 and Frankie Taylor 3.91. Ken lined up against Jackie Deaver in the first round of eliminations. The Bird was able to pull away from Deaver with a great 3.897 and post low ET of round #1. Round two would be the familiar match-up of Ken Thomas vs Frankie “The Mad Man” Taylor. Ken left first with a great .037 reaction and lowered the very young track record to 3.860 as Frankie had problems and had to shut off.
In a repeat from Texas Raceway a week ago, the TMS squad would face their LenMar teammate Gaylen Smith in the final. Gaylen’s .041 reaction would grab the holeshot on Ken’s .090 light and Gaylen’s 3.88 was enough to hold off the hard running 3.85 of the Bad Bird. “Overall we had a great night, but I hate to loose on a holeshot”, said Thomas.
Ken continued, “We’ll put this one behind us and hopefully take these ETs with us to Memphis”. “It was a great night for LenMar Motorsports. The Bad Bird has the track record and the Hell Fish got the win.”
This race marked the 5th TOPMA final for the Bad Bird Crew in 5 TOPMA races this year. TMS would like to thank LenMar Motorsports, The House of Hotrods, Fat Daddy’s, and ABC Auto Parts for their continued support.
