Will earns No. 5 qualifying position at Vegas

LAS VEGAS (April 8, 2006) - On the strength of a 4.559 second pass, 
Hillary Will, driver of the KB Racing LLC-owned, Kalitta 
Motorsports-managed Top Fuel dragster, earned a No. 5 qualifying 
position at this weekend's NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals at The Strip 
at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

For the rookie driver, it ties her highest qualifying position of her 
young career.  She also qualified No. 4 at the season-opening NHRA 
Winternationals in Pomona, Calif., the debut race of her professional 
Top Fuel career.

"I am please with our qualifying runs and we should have a have a good 
car for Morgan (Lucas) tomorrow," said Will, following qualifying.  "We 
owe Morgan, so to speak.  We're zero and one against him, so lets hope 
we can make it one and one after tomorrow.

"This is the hometown of our team owner Ken Black and several of our 
sponsors -- Findlay Automotive and the Technicoat Companies - and is 
also a race sponsored by another sponsor, Summit Racing.  We want to do 
well in front of these folks and also for Autolite Spark Plugs, Calico 
Coatings, Mac Tools and Red Line Oil."

Will squares off against Morgan Lucas in the opening round of 
eliminations tomorrow.  Lucas qualified No. 12 with a best of four 
passes of 4.604 seconds at 311.27 mph.  As noted above the pair has met 
one time previously, with Lucas coming away with the win light.

Will begins her quest for the SummitRacing.com Nationals Top Fuel title 
on Sunday, April 9, with eliminations for all classes beginning at 11 
a.m.  All times are local Las Vegas time (PT) and subject to change at
