Team Aruba Prepares for Upcoming Georgia Drags, Thankful for Overwhelming
Fan Support

UNION, NORTH CAROLINA (April 22, 2010) - Despite their successful test run
of 6.31 at 218mph before  last weekend's Mountain Motor Pro Stock
Association (MMPSA) inaugural race, Team Aruba was plagued with unfortunate
bad luck as tire problems kept the team from performing optimally.
"Off-course, we were trying new things to make our car go faster," says Team
Aruba driver, Trevor Eman. "But we ended up getting lost in our new changes,
and didn't get a handle on them until the first round of eliminations." 

Team Aruba quickly determined that their problems resided within their
tires. "We pinpointed the issue, realizing that our problems stemmed from
our tires. When we replaced them, we were able to get back down the track." 

Though The Rock presented its fair share of challenges, Team Aruba
thoroughly enjoyed their time at the MMPSA season opener. "It was great to
finally get the new MMPSA season underway," Trevor comments. The return to
quarter-mile track racing and familiar faces brought nostalgia to the team.
"It was great to compete against teams that we used to race against while we
were under the IHRA. They are a really great group of people, and the
competition that comes with racing against them is just awesome."

The team received a very warm welcome from fans, as many spectators ventured
to the pits to visit Team Aruba to receive autographs, purchase Team Aruba
shirts, and learn more about Autism Speaks, an organization that Team Aruba
is proudly associated with. Team Aruba became an official spokes-team for
Autism Speaks in 2008, and collects donations for autism awareness at every
race event. "We are so grateful for our fans. A lot of people were very
generous at our Autism Speaks donation box," says Trevor. 

In the pits, spectators gather around the Team Aruba display to learn more
about the team's home country of Aruba. "We love to tell everyone about
Aruba!" exclaims Trevor. The team proudly puts together its Aruba.com
display in the pits at every race, offering race attendants more information
about the island paradise, as well as travel information. "We always
encourage people to travel to Aruba. Fans that are ready for a paradise
vacation can start planning their trip through our island's website,
www.Aruba.com, where they can find everything they want to know about
Aruba."

This week, Team Aruba is preparing for the American Drag Racing League
(ADRL) Hardee's Georgia Drags VI, to be held at Southwest Georgia
Motorsports Park in Cecil, Georgia this weekend. Trevor and Team Aruba are
looking forward to the upcoming competition, and feel the overwhelming
support of their fans. "We're looking forward to our next ADRL event in
Georgia. We have so much support both here and back home in Aruba, and we
are definitely doing our best to win our first race. Hopefully we can
achieve that very soon this year."

Fans can visit Team Aruba's official website, www.teamaruba.com for
exclusive photos, news updates, and behind the scenes footage. Fan can also
