Elkhart, Ind. - When Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owner and
driver, Terry McMillen announced the addition of a Top Fuel Dragster to
his Alcohol Funny Car racing team, he couldn't have imagined the
outpouring of support from his current partnerships.

and NGK Spark Plugs ( http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/) renewed their
partnership with the team and expanded their relationship with McMillen
to include the Top Fuel car, which will contend for the IHRA
Championship and race a limited NHRA schedule.

"Anytime that you have pioneers of this industry like Crane Cams
and NGK Spark Plugs in your pit, it has an advantage," stated McMillen.
"Don't let anyone tell you differently. It's been a huge advantage for
us. Their quality and attention to detail has helped us succeed with our
Funny Car operation and now with our Top Fuel team."

From its humble begging in 1953, Crane Cams has become the
preferred supplier for professional racers and street performance
enthusiast alike. Their product line even includes performance
camshafts, valve train components, ignitions and electronics for
Harley-Davidson® motorcycles.

When it comes to spark plugs, NGK is the World Leader. NGK
produces spark plugs for virtually every automotive, motorcycle, marine
and small engine application. NGK Spark Plugs has a long and storied
history in motorsports. From the high rpm screaming of the CART Series
to the ground-pounding thunder of Top Fuel racing, and race tracks
everywhere in between.

Fuel will compete in the Hooters IHRA Drag Racing Series while the Top
Fuel entry will compete in both the IHRA Hooters Drag Racing Series and
a limited NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series schedule. The team expects to
