*ADRL Race Team on Display at Atlanta Diabetes Expo*


O'FALLON, MO (Mar. 25, 2010) --- American Drag Racing League (ADRL) star 
Bennie McDonald Jr. will attend this Saturday's (Mar. 27) American 
Diabetes Association (ADA) EXPO Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress 
Center to greet show goers and sign autographs. The McDonald Family 
Racing 2,500-horsepower ADRL Pro Extreme '53 Corvette will also be on 
static display beside him in the EXPO Atlanta Youth Zone.

McDonald, from nearby Locust Grove, Georgia, said he's looking forward 
to the opportunity of sharing his personal experiences with Type 2 
diabetes with EXPO Atlanta attendees.

"Diabetes is a terrible disease, there's no question about that, but I 
want people to know that managing your diabetes means you can still live 
a full life and do whatever you like," he said. "These cars can be a 
real handful to drive and they demand a lot of work just to keep 
running, but by taking control of my diabetes and not letting it control 
me I can stay on top of everything."

McDonald will next be in action at the ADRL Hardee's Georgia Drags Apr. 
23-24, at South Georgia Motorsports Park, near Valdosta. Joining him in 
making celebrity appearances at EXPO Atlanta will be Tony Award winner 
Ben Vereen and former NBA star Dominique Wilkins. 

Admittance to EXPO Atlanta is free. With more than 50 exhibitors on site 
and activities planned for people of all ages, EXPO Atlanta provides the 
community with a unique opportunity to get a free health screening, 
participate in cooking and exercise demonstrations, talk to 
diabetes-related exhibitors and listen to leading experts about diabetes 
prevention and management.

EXPO Atlanta is open Mar. 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Georgia World 
Congress Center, Building B, Lower Level.
