Lost of traction dampens Hillary Will debut at Pomona

POMONA, Calif. (February 12, 2006) - Hillary Will, driver of the KB 
Racing LLC-owned, Kalitta Motorsports-managed Top Fuel dragster debuted 
her professional career at the NHRA CarQuest Auto Parts 
Winternationals.  Will's initial race as a Top Fuel driver can be 
considered a success with a No. 4 qualifying position and a Full 
Throttle NHRA Pit Crew Championship bonus award.  

In the first round of today's eliminations, Will lost to fellow 
competitor Morgan Lucas when she struck the tires (lost traction) after 
leaving the starting line.  Unable to regain momentum, Wills finished 
the run in 14.204 seconds at 43.04 mph on the Auto Club Raceway of 
Pomona quarter-mile track.

Looking forward to the next race, Will stated, "I wish Phoenix was 
tomorrow.  I wish our next race was tomorrow.  I just can't wait to do 
this all over again.  I know my crew is awesome I can't say enough about 
them and my crew chief, Jim O. (Oberhofer).  I have a great team, a lot 
of support and couldn't do anything without them."

Next up for Will is the NHRA Checker Schuck's Kragen Nationals, Feb. 
24-26, at Firebird International Raceway (FIR) in Chandler, Ariz., just 
outside Phoenix. At a recent test session in late January at FIR, Will 
tripped the finish line timing clocks in 4.568 seconds at 306.33 mph.    

ESPN2 will air same-day television coverage of eliminations from 7:30
