*Carrier Boyz Racing unveils 40th anniversary Bristol Dragway Dragster*

BRISTOL, Tenn. (April 20, 2005) - Andy and Mark Carrier, owners of 
Carrier Boyz Racing, unveiled a special edition 40^th anniversary 
Bristol Dragway dragster today that will be driven by Cory McClenathan 
during the Fifth annual NHRA O'Reilly Thunder Valley Nationals, the 
weekend of April 29 - May 1.

The front wing and nose of the Carrier Boyz Racing FRAM Air Hog Dragster 
will display a 40^th anniversary Bristol Dragway logo on a chrome 
background.  The chrome will change to the familiar orange and black 
colors of the FRAM AirHog Dragster.  See attached rendering for full 
details.

Both what is now Bristol Dragway and Bristol Motor Speedway was founded 
by Larry Carrier, the father of Andy and Mark.  The pair spent their 
formative years watching and learning as their father went about his 
work building a motorsport legacy matched by very few.

The brothers learned their lessons well and now own one of the most 
visible and competitive Top Fuel dragsters on the NHRA POWERade Drag 
Racing Series - the FRAM AirHog Dragster.

"We grew up watching the races at Bristol Dragway," said Mark, who is 
now 34-years-old.  "For a long time - until we got older -- the only 
drag races we were allowed to go to were at Bristol.  Dad would take 
Andy and me over to the track on Sunday and we would watch the Funny 
Cars and Top Fuel cars.  We always had fond memories of the old times, 
with Raymond Beadle, Richard Tharp and a lot of the guys from that era."

Andy, now 31, added, "It is because of those memories that we are proud 
that we can carry the 40^th anniversary Bristol Dragway decal on our car 
during the Bristol race.  It is a tribute to both the track and to our 
dad, who gave so much of himself in making this track and Bristol Motor 
Speedway what they are today."

"I'm the lucky guy who gets to drive the special edition car at 
Bristol," said McClenathan.  "I'm proud to represent Carrier Boyz 
Racing.  There is no finer family in motorsports than Larry, Shirley, 
Mark and Andy Carrier.  I would love to put the icing on the cake by 
putting the 40^th anniversary Bristol Dragway FRAM AirHog Dragster in 
the winner's circle."
