Carrier Boyz Racing FRAM AirHog Dragster Joins NASCAR Festivities at 
Bristol Motor Speedway

BRISTOL, Tenn. (March 30, 2005) - In front of the largest sports 
audience in the state of Tennessee, the Carrier Boyz FRAM AirHog NHRA 
Top Fuel dragster, driven by Cory McClenathan, from Lake Havasu City, 
Ariz., will take to the Bristol Motor Speedway half-mile, all-concrete 
oval on Sunday, April 3 for the Nextel Cup Food City 500.

Okay, the FRAM AirHog dragster isn't actually going to race but will be 
part of the prerace festivities that surround the NASCAR event. The 
Carrier Boyz Racing team, which is based in Bristol, Tenn., will give 
the 160,000 fans a carnival for their senses when McClenathan starts up 
the 7000 horsepower plus dragster and fills the air with both sound and 
the smell of nitromethane.

"When Mark and I were growing up here in Bristol we spent a lot of time 
with our father at both the drag strip and the circle track and have a 
lot of fond memories," said Andy Carrier, who along with his brother 
Mark own Carrier Boyz Racing.

"To be able to bring the Carrier Boyz race team and FRAM AirHog dragster 
to the Nextel Cup race this weekend is awesome and we appreciate the 
opportunity.  Our father, Larry Carrier, was instrumental in the 
building and early operation of this race track and we are excited that 
we can use this venue for Mark and I to continue the motorsport 
tradition that the Carrier family has established here in Bristol.

"We hope that a lot of the fans who see us on Sunday will take the time 
to return to Bristol Dragway to watch us race when the NHRA O'Reilly 
Thunder Valley Nationals unfolds April 29-May 1.  There is nothing more 
exciting than seeing a Top Fuel dragster blast down the quarter-mile 
strip in 4.4 seconds at over 330 mph."

In addition to Sunday's activities, Carrier Boyz Racing, which competes 
regularly on the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, will have the FRAM 
AirHog dragster and team transporter on display during the Busch Series 
Sharpie Professional 250 on Saturday.

Fans will also have the opportunity to visit the Promark/FRAM exhibit in 
the FRAM AirHog All-American Campgrounds, adjacent to Bristol Motor 
Speedway.  The exhibit will showcase the FRAM product line and provide 
some interactive displays for fans.
