Vandergriff exits in opening round

     DENVER, Co., (July 16, 2006)- Bob Vandergriff Jr. came up a little short 
in the opening round of the MOPAR Mile-High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere 
Speedway on Sunday afternoon as record heat continued to dominate the area. The UPS 
Top Fueler broke the tires loose shortly after launching against opponent 
Hillary Will, running a 5.201 second pass to Will's winning 4.992. 
     Vandergriff qualified in the No. 10 position, putting him in the bottom 
half of the field for the first time in three races. The Alpharetta, GA. 
resident will be ready for a cool break as the NHRA POWERade tour moves to the cool 
northwest city of Seattle, WA., for the running of the Schuck's Auto Parts 
NHRA Nationals at Pacific Raceways next weekend. 
     Vandergriff currently sits in the No. 13 position in the NHRA POWERade 
Championship points chase.
