22nd  ANNUAL NHRA TOYO TIRES  NATIONALS
MAPLE GROVE RACEWAY -- READING, PENN.

Will hopes Maple Grove Raceway produces win *

MOHNTON, Penn. (September 13, 2006) -- As a rookie Top Fuel driver,  
Hillary Will, who drives the KB Racing LLC-owned, Kalitta 
Motorsports-managed dragster, continues her learning curve this weekend 
at the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals on yet another track -- Maple Grove 
Raceway, near Reading Penn. -- that she has not tested or competed on in 
her career.

"I have never been to this track before," said Will.  "The race at Maple 
Grove Raceway will mark the thirteenth time this year that I have 
entered a race having never competed at that facility.

"I am really looking forward to the Reading race.  Our KB Racing team 
has been building momentum lately and I feel we are a win waiting to 
happen."

The momentum that Will noted has come in the form of a runner-up 
position at the NHRA race in Memphis, Tenn., and a win during an IHRA 
event in late September at Norwalk (Ohio) Raceway Park, which will join 
the NHRA next season.

Also, Jim Oberhofer and his crew have Will's KB Racing LLC-owned, 
Kalitta Motorsports-managed dragster running very consistent of late and 
consistency is a main ingredient in winning races in the NHRA 
professional classes.

Entering the 22nd running of the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals, Will holds 
the ninth position in the NHRA POWERade Top Fuel point standings.  With 
five races remaining on the 2006 schedule, the 26-year-old driver, who 
now calls Ypsilanti, Mich., home, can move up in the point standings 
with a good showing at Maple Grove Raceway.  She is only 28 points out 
of eighth spot and 134 points behind seventh.     

Qualifying for Will and her KB Racing LLC-owned, Kalitta 
Motorsports-managed Top Fuel dragster begins with two nitro sessions on 
Friday, Sept. 15, scheduled for 3 and 6 p.m. and concludes with two 
additional nitro sessions on Saturday, Sept. 16, at 12 noon and 3 p.m.  
Will begins her quest for the Toyo Tires Nationals Pro Stock title on 
Sunday, Sept. 17, with eliminations for all classes beginning at 11 
a.m.  *All times are local Reading time (ET) and subject to change at  
anytime.
