*Speedtech Named New Title Sponsor for ADRL U.S. Drags III*

O'FALLON, MO (Apr. 29, 2010) --- The American Drag Racing League (ADRL) 
is proud to announce Speedtech as the title sponsor of the next event on 
its 2010 tour, the ADRL Speedtech U.S. Drags III at Virginia Motorsports 
Park (VMP), May 21-22, in Petersburg, Virginia.

The ADRL has enjoyed a long, mutually beneficial relationship with 
Speedtech, beginning with the Speedtech Winter Drags, the first official 
ADRL event in 2005 at Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Also, last season 
Speedtech became the title sponsor of the ADRL's unique Speedtech Battle 
for the Belts, which pits the top eight points earners in each ADRL 
professional class against each other in an end-of-year, 
championship-deciding showdown.  

"We've also been involved with several top teams in the ADRL since its 
inception and feel the time is right to step up our presence in the 
series by becoming an official event sponsor," Speedtech General Manager 
of Sales and Marketing Wayne Davis said. "We dramatically increased our 
involvement with the ADRL last year as the series' official nitrous 
company and when the opportunity presented itself to become the title 
sponsor for the Speedtech U.S. Drags III it was an easy decision to say 
yes."

Last year at Virginia Motorsports Park, over its two-day, national-event 
schedule the ADRL exceeded 100,000 spectators for the first time and 
expects the Speedtech U.S. Drags III will draw even more fans next month.

"The ADRL race is by far our largest and most prestigious event of the 
year and having the Speedtech name attached to it makes it that much 
more significant," VMP General Manager Bryan Pierce stated. "I commend 
and congratulate the folks at Speedtech and at the ADRL for putting this 
partnership together and helping to bring VMP fans a truly world-class 
drag racing event."  

Speedtech enjoyed success on the ADRL circuit as recently as this past 
weekend at South Georgia Motorsports Park, where former back-to-back 
ADRL World Champion Jason Scruggs drove his Speedtech-sponsored '68 
Camaro to the Pro Extreme win and his teammate, Mike Castellana, earned 
the Pro Nitrous win in his Speedtech-equipped '69 Camaro.

The Speedtech brand will be prominently featured at the Speedtech U.S. 
Drags III, with several special promotions currently being planned.

"The U.S. Drags is without a doubt one of our top events and with 
Speedtech coming on board we will be able to continue making it even 
bigger and better," ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling declared.
