Vandergriff set for Seattle



     KENT, Wash., (July 20, 2006)- Happy to leave the  sweltering heat behind 
in Denver, Bob Vandergriff Jr. is looking forward to cooler days, as the UPS 
Top Fuel dragster will run in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, at the beautiful 
Pacific Raceways for this weekend's Schuck's Auto Supply NHRA Nationals.
    
     "I'm looking forward to our car getting back to normal now that we will 
be running at sea level again," explained Vandergriff.  "Jim Dupuy and the 
crew had their hands full up in Denver. We are excited about getting back to 
qualifying well and hopefully going some rounds on Sunday. We have a great team 
and a strong car and we hope to prove that this weekend."

     Vandergriff is currently 13th in the NHRA POWERade championship points 
chase.
