*Lifetime Contract for ADRL Pro Jr. Dragster Driver *

BAYTOWN, TX (Mar. 19, 2010) -- In an unprecedented move for drag racing, 
10-year-old American Drag Racing League (ADRL) Pro Jr. Dragster star 
K.J. Nowling has signed a lifetime performance contract with Al-Anabi 
Racing.

"I had the pleasure of hosting K.J. at two of our recent Arabian Drag 
Racing League events in Qatar and found him to be an incredibly bright 
young man who clearly understands the mechanics of racing," Al-Anabi 
team owner Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al-Thani said. "Being a two-time ADRL 
national-event winner, he's obviously a talented driver, so I thought 
I'd better get him under contract now before someone beat me to it."

In the debut of a new Mike Bos-built Pro Jr. Dragster car, Nowling is 
racing under the Al-Anabi banner for the first time this weekend in the 
ADRL's season-opening Universal Technical Institute Dragpalooza VI 
presented by Safety-Kleen at Houston Raceway Park. Long-term plan calls 
for him to remain in the Pro Jr. Dragster ranks until his 16th birthday, 
at which time he will begin making test passes in a full-size car before 
making his ADRL Pro Extreme debut in 2016 in the Universal Technical 
Institute Dragpalooza XXII.

"This is hard to believe and I can't thank Sheikh Khalid enough for this 
opportunity," said Nowling, a fifth grader from Dardenne Prairie, 
Missouri. "I had so much fun watching him win the Pro Extreme 
championship in Qatar, but even more fun playing soccer with him on 
PlayStation 3 at his house. We've become good friends and I feel very 
proud to become his Al-Anabi teammate."
