EDMONTON, Alta. - IHRA has announced that Paradise RV and SMS Equipment have teamed up with Castrol Raceway as partners for the upcoming River Cree Resort and Casino Rocky Mountain Nationals in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Paradise RV will serve as the presenting sponsor for the upcoming Nitro Jam race at Castrol Raceway while SMS Equipment will sponsor Saturday's "Night of Fire" show. The River Cree Resort and Casino Rocky Mountain Nationals presented by Paradise RV will be held July 3-5 at Castrol Raceway.
"We are excited to have Paradise RV and SMS Equipment come onboard for the Rocky Mountain Nationals. It is always one of the biggest drag racing events of the year and we look forward to working together to put on a great show for the Edmonton race fans," said Castrol Raceway owner Kimberly Reeves.
DALLAS - Terry McMillen, driver of the Amalie Oil / Wolverine Boots and Apparel Top Fuel Dragster, has a Texas sized week planned in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. All of the plans lead to one ultimate goal for McMillen - to win the Amalie Oil IHRA Texas Nationals.
In his tenth season partnered with Amalie, McMillen has come close to winning a race sponsored by Amalie, including two final round losses last season in San Antonio and Epping, NH. He took pride in watching his InstiGator Funny Car win in Epping last season with team driver Paul Noakes behind the wheel, but McMillen can't find satisfaction until he drives his Amalie dragster into the winner's circle.
"This is a huge race for us in many ways," McMillen said. "Racing for Amalie at their event, in front of their guests, always raises the level of expectation for us. It would mean a lot to our team to get this win for Amalie."
After visiting the Dallas Raceway a few weeks ago, McMillen is also excited about racing at the new facility. "This is a beautiful track in a huge market for Amalie and IHRA," McMillen said. "To see what Kenny Barnes and his staff have put together is amazing. His attention to the details have been nothing short of phenomenal. Fans and racers are going to love this place."
ELKHART, Ind. - When the Amalie Oil Top Fuel Dragster rolls into the staging beams this season it will do so with the support and partnership of Wolverine Boots and Apparel. American workers have counted on Wolverine brand for over 125 years, McMillen's team will do the same in 2009.
"Wolverine has the slogan "Relentless by Nature"," McMillen said. "I think that says a lot about the tenacity of their company. Plus it's a good fit for our team. All of our guys are pretty relentless also."
The Rockford, Michigan based company has been an American Icon for over 125 years and is known for setting the standards for durable footwear. Wolverine is a leader in creating innovative comfort technologies in its work footwear such as DuraShocks® and Wolverine Contour Welt® and more recently has introduced patented comfort technologies into hunting and rugged outdoor styles.
ELKHART, Ind. -- For those that have had the privilege of attending a drag race and roamed the professional pits - they know there's nothing like the whine of a starter turning over an 8,000 horsepower Nitro motor just before warm up. It puts a hop in your step and a tingle in your spine. Such is the case for McMillen and his crew as they thrash to get their motors and new parts ready for the 2009 campaign.
McMillen hasn't announced his schedule, but he hears the motor tuning over now. "We're trying to put the finishing touches on a couple of really cool new opportunities with our partners before we announce our schedule, but we didn't want to wait any longer to announce some of our long time partners that will be with us again this season."
In an off season that has kept McMillen busier than usual, he's confident his Amalie Oil sponsored Top Fuel Dragster will be more competitive than ever. Veteran tuner, Doug Kuch consulted the team to 5 final round appearances, 2 wins and position in the NHRA's fastest field in Las Vegas last season. He will be the teams crew-chief for the entire 2009 campaign.
"Doug is one of the top tuners in this sport," McMillen said. "We're really lucky to have him on our side." McMillen is also excited about the return of his crew. "We've got a group of guys that are dedicated and hard working. They're some of the best in the business. We have one of the most relaxed atmosphere's in drag racing. We work hard. But our guys all like each other and get along. It makes the grind of a season that much better when you like the guys you work with."
EDMONTON, Alb. - Professional drag racing teams from all across the United States will make their way across western Canada's prairies to arrive this week in Alberta for one of Edmonton's premier events. The Castrol Raceway will open its gates to host the Rocky Mountain Nationals (July 4-6), the fifth stop on the IHRA drag racing series. Many of the teams do so with the unprecedented support of Alberta area businesses, including the defending event champion in Top Fuel, Terry McMillen (Elkhart, Indiana) and the 2006 event champion and two-time defending IHRA World Champion in Nitro Funny Car, Dale Creasy, Jr. (Beecher, Illinois).
Terry McMillen, driver of the Amalie Oil Top Fuel Dragster looks forward to the race affectionally known as "The Rocky's". "Edmonton is a very special place for us," McMillen said. "We earned our first career win here last year and that was great. But what really makes it a special place is the tremendous support we receive from the fans and businesses." McMillen will also bring a second car, the Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car piloted by Ontario's Paul Noakes.
ELKHART, Ind. - Hoosier Thunder Motorsports released a brief statement today regarding team owner Terry McMillen's relationship with Torco Race Fuels. After a five year relationship, as of June 9, 2008 McMillen and Torco will no longer maintain a relationship.
"I wish Torco the best of luck in the future," McMillen said. "It was just time for everyone to make a change. This will provide the perfect opportunity for us to concentrate on the Amalie Oil Top Fuel Dragster and the Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car."
"We're excited about the future and success of our racing program," McMillen said. "There are some exciting things on the horizon for this team."

"Talk about lucky stars lining up," McMillen smiled. "In early December I received a phone call from IHRA's "Texas Tornado" - Tommy Dupree. When Tommy told me that Jack Wyatt (Nitro Funny Car driver) and I had won the MAHLE Clevite / Perfect Circle Nitro Club program sponsorship, I was stunned! MAHLE Clevite and Perfect Circle provide phenomenal parts for the racing industry."
McMillen is excited about being a part of their program for the 2008 racing season. He sees the product sponsorship as a major advantage for his new team. "I have been working with Doug Foley and Tim Lewis on purchasing the car I drove last year. This is the best gift for someone starting a Top Fuel team.

Results of the 2008 Scovie Awards, which recognizes top fiery foods products from around the globe are in and Freedom Grill of Poway, Calif. was selected as a winner in one of the world's most competitive gourmet food competitions. Freedom Grill, which manufactures Fire Brand Grilling Sauces, has received Four 2008 Scovie Awards.

If you're like me you can't believe the drag racing season is over. But that doesn't mean that there is not a lot of drag racing going on.
Terry McMillen's Top Fuel dragster is being featured in some Torco Race Fuels print advertising this off season (or early season depending if your glass is half full or empty). That's pretty cool all by itself.
Something tells me that you'll see this picture at an upcoming trade show boot or two also.
Not to be out done, Amalie Oil featured McMillen's Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car at their booth during the APEX show in Vegas earlier this month. I wasn't able to grab a shot of the booth since APEX doesn't allow cameras on the convention floor, but rumor has it there is a photo floating around somewhere. You'll see it here as soon as it finds its way to my inbox.
Las Vegas, NV - Freedom Grill has announced the winners for their inaugural Extreme Tailgating Design Awards contest for project vehicles at the 2007 SEMA Show. Taking First Place honors was John Llado of Wild Side Customs out of Wildomar, CA for his lifted blue flamed 2008 Chevy 2500HD.
"Tailgating is about personalization and John's treatment of the Freedom Grill FG-50 with paint and pin striping to match the rest of the truck looks terrific," commented Scott Salter, Freedom Grill's Founder. "This Silverado would really turn some heads rolling into the stadium parking lot".
Llado was presented his award by Miss Freedom Grill 2008, Holly Weber. The Freedom Grill design award is a custom etched, full-size beer pitcher and in true tailgating fashion at the urging of the crowd Llado finished off the full pitcher at the presentation. He also received a gift card from Tailgater Meats for premium gourmet cuts of beef.
Terry McMillen and his Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car made a special appearance recently at the Flatout Gaskets Cruise Night in Mundelein, Ill.
"Any chance to hang out with Mark and the folks at Flatout is a treat," McMillen said. "Just to have a chance to visit Flatout and see some of the amazing things that they do with gasket technology is pretty cool."
Mundelein, IL. - Flatout Gaskets is pleased to announce the release of their exciting new product for Holley® 750/850 4 barrel carburetors. After months of extensive testing, Flatout has developed a FKM (Viton®) carb bowl gasket kit that out-performs all others!
Part # S1066, the molded rubber/re-usable bowl and metering block gasket kit is now available.
The "ALL SEASON™" steel carrier based product uses the latest in rubber molding technology to offer the racer a quality product that is not only re-useable, but also does not stick to the carb mating surfaces. For the racer that rejects his carb for tuning, this is just the ticket.
For more information, please call Flatout Toll-Free @ 877.837.9200 or take a look at the new on-line product listings at: www.flatoutgroup.com.
Flatout Gaskets will be at the 2007 PRI Tradeshow - Dec. 6- 8 in Orlando, FL. - Booth #3334. To "STAY SEALED™" stop by and pick-up a new catalog and learn about all the new sealing products available from Flatout Gaskets!

"We're both in the entertainment business," explained Chuck Weber, CEO / President, EntertainMax. "We feel like this is an outstanding way to increase our brand awareness and highlight our diverse capabilities."

"I knew immediately that their team and IHRA Drag Racing would offer our companies a distinct and exceptional chance to use motorsports marketing to promote our companies. It was only a matter of time before we found the perfect fit with EMax Corp. It further illustrates C. Trade Group's expertise in consolidating and utilizing the synergies of its divisions and joint venture companies."
The EntertainMax / Hoosier Thunder Motorsports Top Fuel entry will compete in the IHRA Drag Racing series and a limited NHRA POWERade schedule.

The Flatout Group is an associate sponsor on the Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car, powered by TORCO Race Fuels and will add sponsorship to the McMillen piloted, Knoll Gas Motorsports, Top Fuel team.
"Flatout is one of the most innovative companies in the motorsports industry," commented McMillen. "Mark and the folks at Flatout are always improving on an already great product.

"Basically, after we prove our concepts on the dyno, Terry is one of the first teams to give us back real field testing data. His feedback is immeasurable! We're so pleased to be involved with the whole Hoosier Thunder team, we can't wait to see them get their Top Fuel car on track in 2006." We expect big things from Hoosier Thunder next season and we are glad to be involved with them for our forth year!"
Flatout's commitment to drag racing has never been more evident. Besides posting contingency sponsorship with the IHRA, Adelizzi and his associates are always looking for innovative ways to expand their market. Case in point: Adopt A Junior Dragster Program.
At the beginning of the 2005 season McMillen met the Gerthe family, an IHRA Division 4 brother and sister team. McMillen then approached Adelizzi about a program to sponsor junior dragsters. "Without hesitation Mark stepped up and joined us to start the Adopt a Junior Dragster Program last year," McMillen explained. "I know it meant a lot to Alesi and Ayrton and the Gerthe family to have quality Flatout Gaskets on their Junior Dragster Car. It also meant a lot to me to know that I'm associated with a company that has that kind of heart and vision." Adelizzi added, "We're very proud of our association with the Gerthe family. "The future of our sport is very bright with young stars like the Gerthe's."
Elkhart, IN - In an announcement today, Amalie Oil extended their partnership with Hoosier Thunder Motorsports for an additional two years. Amalie will continue as the Major Sponsor on the Amalie Oil InstiGator Funny Car and add Major Associate sponsorship to the Knoll Gas Motorsports Top Fuel team piloted by Terry McMillen.
"Our relationship with Amalie Oil began in 2000," stated Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owner Terry McMillen. "We're excited to add to an already strong partnership. From Harry Barkett and Denny Madden to Andrew Bornstein and the hundreds of Amalie associates, we've always had the strength and support of one of the finest organizations behind us."
Amalie Oil, the Official Motor Oil of the IHRA, is also the title sponsor on two of IHRA's top events - The Amalie Oil Texas Nationals in San Antonio, TX and the Amalie Oil North American Nationals in Epping, NH. Amalie also posts contingency in both Pro and Sportsman classes in the IHRA.
The Amalie Oil InstiGator Top Alcohol Funny Car debuted in 2002 when McMillen and Amalie Oil's Business Development Manager, Andrew Bornstein, expanded on the popular "gator" theme that the company used for its motorsports marketing. The Amalie Oil marketing department then took over and Michelle Barkett designed what has arguably become the most recognized car in motorsports. "Everyone just loves that smiling gator car," added McMillen. "No matter where we go, whether it's Texas or Canada, people see the Amalie logo and ask me, 'Hey, isn't that the gator car?' It's always a great feeling."
A driver search for the Amalie Oil InstiGator continues and an announcement is expected soon.
Amalie will make the McMillen-piloted Top Fuel Team "Better Than It Has To Be" when they add their logo as a Major Associate Sponsor during the 2006-2007 campaigns. The sponsorship will increase Amalie's exposure and brand awareness as the Top Fuel team will compete in all IHRA and at least 8 NHRA races. "From what we can see the quality of this team is outstanding," commented Andrew Borstein, Business Development Manager for Amalie. "They'll be competitive from the opening day. We're excited about this opportunity to increase our brand awareness in new motorsports markets."
Evan Knoll's TORCO Race Fuels is also an Amalie distributor. Knoll added, "The marketing partners on these teams gel nicely. We're very proud of our association with Amalie and the quality products that they offer to our racers and fans."
Since 1903 Amalie has been "Better Than It Has To Be". The company markets its products worldwide, has distribution operations in Dallas; Jacksonville, Florida; and Los Angeles.

This week, Evan Knoll President of TORCO Racing Fuels, Inc. announced several new business initiatives designed to diversify and grow the already booming race fuel giant. One of those initiatives was the formation of eRaceFuels, Inc. Knoll said, "While the TORCO Race Fuels, Inc. name has served us well over the last 10 years our marketing consultants believe that a name more easily identifiable with our product and mission would serve us better, thus the formation of eRaceFuels, Inc."
Knoll intends to leverage the robust internet market to grow eRaceFuels, Inc. into an international giant. eRaceFuels, Inc. will hit the ecommerce market using a high octane marketing program. Marketed under the eRaceFuels, Inc. umbrella will be all of the TORCO Race Fuels, Inc. existing fuels and products including, Mach Series Racing Fuels, Custom Blended Fuels and Additives, Knoll Gas Motorsports, Knoll Gas and Energy, Pro Nitro Nitromethane and Knoll's newest brainchild SKULL GEAR a custom clothing and apparel line.

Later on Knoll inked a deal with Ashley to introduce a Skull Gear Funny car to debut at this year's US Nationals in Indianapolis, added a Pro Stock car driven by superstar Dave Connelly and a Top Fuel car driven by Melanie Troxel. Licensing agreements are currently underway for SKULL GEAR to be sold in stores worldwide.
On the drawing board are plans to foray into the commercial real estate market, open Mach Series gas stations with convenience stores owned and operated by eRaceFuels, Inc. and an eRaceFuels, Inc. Street and Strip oil product line.
