MONTGOMERY, Ala. (April 12, 2007) - Josh Hernandez, driver of the Dr. Moon's Rage '57 Chevy Bel Air Pro Mod, knows there's a race this weekend in the Flowmaster ADRL, trying to figure out what it's called and which race of the season it is, however, might require an abacus, a sextant, or some kind of magical star map.

Because of inclement weather and scheduling issues, this event, officially the inaugural Shelor.com Motor Mile Spring Drags, essentially replaces the Speedtech Winter Drags in the schedule, and will also serve as the completion of the eliminations rounds of the 2006 ADRL World Finals, which were rained out last fall in Kennedale, Texas. The World Finals make-up races will be held Friday and Saturday at MMP.

"If you can't figure that all out, you're not alone," Hernandez laughed. "It comes down to this, really - there's a whole lot of points on the table here this weekend, and we have to be ready to race.

"I'm really excited to get the '57 out of the box and run her down the track - and I know Howard [Moon, crew chief] will have things ready to go," he said.

Hernandez advanced to the semifinals in the Houston race earlier this season, and sits currently No. 3 in AlphaTrade Battle for the Belts points.

"There will be a lot of competition at the event, and I know Troy [Critchley, Hernandez' teammate] will be gunning for the top too, so we will all have our hands full," Hernandez said.

The Spring Drags get under way Friday with open testing for all four professional classes at 1 p.m. local time, with the quarterfinals and semifinals of the World Finals scheduled for later that evening. All three rounds of Spring Drags qualifying will be held on Saturday, a day that concludes with the final rounds of the World Finals. Sunday is reserved for Spring Drags eliminations in all four classes, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Results are available on the series' website, ADRL.us.
