NHRA: Cristen Powell's Comments On Racing Her Team Owner

9 September 2000

CRISTEN POWELL, driver of the Bazemore Racing/ Matco Tools/Nitrofish Camaro co
mments on what it will be like to face her team owner, Whit Bazemore, in the 
first round of this weekend's completion of the Matco Tools Spring 
Supernationals -

"It's going to be really strange to race Whit.  But he told me that it was 
going to be a heads-up race, so I think we're going to have a lot of fun.  I 
know this Matco/Nitrofish Camaro team is not going to go easy on him.  I 
think he's cool with that, and maybe he'll win either way.  I'm not sure how 
he feels about it.  I know he was pretty excited by our results in Indy, so 
maybe if we do win he'll be excited for us.
