Memphis, Tn -- When most people only know of Memphis, Tennessee for being the home of Legendary King of Rock-n-Roll, Elvis Presley and his home, Graceland, the drag racing community knows it for another reason.

During the year 2000, he cross graded his license and moved into a Super Comp Dragster. In 2003, Seeking the next level of competition, he bought an A/Fuel Dragster and completed his license passes in Houston, Texas.

"We're really excited to get back out to the track this weekend" notes Pierce "we struggled our first three years of competition and last year our momentum drastically changed when we won Noble and took home our first Wally. That led us to finishing fourth within the Division 4 points standing in 2006 and our first Top 20 finish Nationally that we are hoping for a top 10 finish in 2007".
