*Will turns attention to Reading *

MOHNTON, Penn. (September 27, 2006) -- This weekend Hillary Will, who 
drives the KB Racing LLC-owned, Kalitta Motorsports-managed Top Fuel 
dragster, returns to the rerun of the rain-delayed NHRA Toyo Tires 
Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway, near Reading, Penn.  This make up 
edition unfolds Friday through Sunday, Sept. 29-Oct. 1.

Two weekends ago, relentless rains forced the postponement of the 
event.  The advance weather forecast for this weekend calls for cool 
temperatures, with daytime highs in the 60s, and cloudy skies.  A slight 
chance of rain (20 to 40 percent) is mentioned on all three days.   

With only four races remaining on the 2006 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing 
Series schedule, Will, who now calls Ypsilanti, Mich. home, can move up 
in the point standings and solidify her position as one of the leading 
candidates for the Automobile Club of Southern California Road to the 
Future Award (Rookie of the Year) with a good showing at Maple Grove 
Raceway.

The highest ranked rookie driver in the NHRA POWERade Top Fuel point 
standings, Will holds the ninth position entering the 22nd running of 
the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.  She is only 50 points out of eighth spot 
and 113 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. 29, scheduled for 2 and 5 p.m. and concludes with two 
additional nitro sessions on Saturday, Sept. 30, at 12 noon and 3 p.m.  
Will begins her quest for the Toyo Tires Nationals Top Fuel title on 
Sunday, Oct. 1, with eliminations for all classes beginning at 11 a.m.  
*All times are local Reading time (ET) and subject to change at  anytime. *
