* After testing McClenathan looks for a rebound at Atlanta Dragway*

COMMERCE, Ga. (May 9, 2005) -  Cory McClenathan, driver of the Carrier 
Boyz Racing FRAM AirHog Top Fuel dragster, returns to Atlanta Dragway, 
in Commerce, Ga., the site of his last win, for the silver anniversary 
of the Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals.

After a disappointing outing in his last race at the team's home track 
in Bristol, Tenn., McClenathan hopes to return to the performance level 
that propelled the team to the top five in NHRA POWERade points.

"We tested the FRAM AirHog dragster after Bristol and found what crew 
chief Todd Smith believes to be the cause of our most recent problems.  
Subsequent runs during the test session indicated that we are back on 
track and should be a contender to defend our title that we took home 
here at Atlanta Dragway last year," said McClenathan.

McClenathan, with 343 points enters the Summit Racing Equipment Southern 
Nationals sixth in the POWERade Top Fuel point standings, just 23 points 
out of the top five and 27 behind fourth.

"Competition is as close as I can remember in all my years of racing Top 
Fuel," recalls McClenathan.  "We must be on the top of our game to 
regain a spot in the top five."
