~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NHRA Professional Classes Conclude at Pomona ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Press Information For Immediate Release ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pomona, Calif. (February 10, 2009) - After being delayed for two days as rain wreaked havoc through southern California, the Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals for the professional classes finally crowned winners Tuesday afternoon at the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, while the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series sportsmen classes will have to wait and finish their rounds on Wednesday. Three Ringers' supporting teams advanced to the first final round of 2009, but only one stood in the Full Throttle Winner's Circle and that was KB Racing driver Jason Line. In an all Ringers' Pro Stock final, Line picked up his 16th class win as he defeated Mike Edwards, 6.65-second/211.63 mph to 6.57-seconds/210.01 mph. Antron Brown and his Mike Ashley Racing-owned Matco Tools dragster went into Sunday in the No. 1 qualifying spot in the Top Fuel class, but had to settle for a runner-up finish on Tuesday in a close drag race with Doug Kalitta, 3.82/308.57 mph to 3.84/307.16 mph. This was the first time in over 30 years an NHRA race was finished on a Tuesday. The NHRA Full Throttle Racing Series will move onto Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, Ariz., February 20-22 for the 25th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ringers Gloves, an ISO 9001:2000 certified company, is the title sponsor for the Ringers Gloves Pro Bike Battle in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.
