DIXON, COUGHLIN, HAGAN, HINES ON WFO RADIO NHRA TUESDAY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



DIXON, COUGHLIN, HAGAN, HINES ON WFO RADIO NHRA TUESDAY
Winner's Circle Interviews with Full Throttle Series Spring Nationals
Champions


HOLLYWOOD, FL (April 13, 2010) - All four event winners from last weekend's
NHRA Full Throttle Series Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park will be
guests on WFO Radio NHRA Tuesday with Joe Castello, live tonight at 7 p.m.
ET.  To listen live or on-demand, go to http://www.wforadio.com


Spring Nationals winners Larry Dixon (Top Fuel), Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Jeg
Coughlin (Pro Stock), and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) will all
appear in one-on-one interviews with host Joe Castello.


Dixon, driver of the Al-Anabi Racing Top Fuel dragster, won Sunday for the
second time this year in a pedal fest against Antron Brown.  The win was
Dixon's 50th of his NHRA professional career moving him into eighth place on
the all-time list, breaking a tie with Don "The Snake" Prudhomme.


In the Funny Car final, Don Schumacher Racing's Hagan drove the DieHard
Dodge Charger to a victory over Jeff Arend en route to his first career NHRA
Full Throttle Series victory.  The win moved Hagan into second place in the
Funny Car standings, 70 points behind points leader John Force.


Coughlin won his 49th career national event win, one behind Dixon and tied
for ninth place all-time with Prudhomme.  Coughlin's JEGS.com Chevrolet
Cobalt edged Allen Johnson's Mopar Dodge Avenger with a 6.599 at 210.77 MPH
to Johnson's quicker 6.596 at 210.77 MPH, but a quicker reaction time (0.24
to 0.45) at the starting line gave Coughlin the hole shot win.


Hines, rider of the Screamin' Eagle Harley Davidson V-Rod, won for the first
time in 2010 by defeating defending world champion Hector Arana.  It marked
the 19th career victory for Hines, a three-time NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle
World Champion.


In addition to the race winners, NHRA announcer Alan Reinhart returns to WFO
Radio to provide expert commentary of the NHRA Full Throttle and Lucas Oil
Drag Racing series plus a preview of the SummitRacing.com Nationals in Las
Vegas.  Reinhart will also take listener e-mail questions during the show.
