which will be televised by ESPN2, is the seventh of 23 events in the
NHRA POWERade Series for 2006. 

 "We're pleased that Summit Racing will continue their support of the
NHRA POWERade Series as title sponsor of the Southern Nationals," Darcy
said. "We're confident that this event sponsorship will greatly benefit
