BECKMAN TO FACE JOHN FORCE IN PHOENIX FINAL

CHANDLER, Ariz. (Feb. 21, 2010) - Driving the Valvoline/Mail Terminal
Services Dodge Charger Funny Car with the theme "To Afghanistan With Love,"
Jack Beckman will face John Force in the final round on Monday at the 26th
annual NHRA Arizona Nationals.

The Funny Car and Top Fuel finals were postponed because of lateness caused
by rain delays and on-track incidents today in the second race of the
23-event NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.

En route to the final round, Beckman dismissed Bob Tasca III with a
4.132/307.37, then ousted his teammate Matt Hagan in the second round with a
4.136/303.78. And, despite posting a less-than-stellar 5.023/262.64, he
eliminated Tony Pedregon in the semifinal stanza.

Entering the final round, Beckman holds a round-win record against Force of
9-6.
