McClenathan No. 9 at Finals in Pomona

POMONA, Calif. (November 5, 2005) - On the strength of a 4.534-second 
run at 324.20 mph in Saturday's first qualifying session, Cory 
McClenathan, from Lake Havasu City, Ariz., who drives the Carrier Boyz 
Racing FRAM AirHog dragster, finished No. 9, as qualified ended today 
for the 41st annual NHRA Automobile Club of Southern California Finals 
at Pomona Raceway.
 
With two of his 28 career wins coming at the Automobile Club of Southern 
California Finals, McClenathan hopes to wrap up this year's event with 
another trip to the winner's circle.  His two wins at the Finals came in 
1992 and 2002.

"It was a trial and error weekend for the Carrier Boyz Racing FRAM 
AirHog team," said McClenathan.  "We are trying to win this race, while 
at the same time trying to get ready for next year.  We're still trying 
to be consistent and maybe we tried some things we shouldn't have.  
Tomorrow we want to at least go a couple rounds.  We still have a shot 
to get to eighth in POWERade points."

McClenathan will face Larry Dixon in tomorrow's opening round of 
eliminations.  Dixon qualified No. 9 with a pass of 4.522 seconds at 
326.45 mph.
