McMillen Looks For Magic Rockingham Formula

Rockingham, N.C. - Terry McMillen and his Amalie Oil InstiGator
Funny Car, powered by TORCO Race Fuels, head for the sand hills of North
Carolina looking to restore a little magic at the Nicko's NY Style Pizza
Spring Nationals. "Rockingham had been good to us up until last season,"
said McMillen. "Somehow we took the 'Rock' for granted."

Success in Rockingham could prove to be a key ingredient for
McMillen's 2006 eMax Drag Racing Championship quest. "The season is
young, but Rockingham plays a very important role for us," said
McMillen. "We need to do well here to carry some of the momentum we
fought for in San Antonio." The Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team pounded
our a semi-final appearance and left San Antonio third in points.

In 2004, McMillen used a semi-final finish in Rockingham to
propel the team to a career best third place finish for the season. The
2005 season started just as strong for McMillen, who came into
Rockingham after a final round appearance in San Antonio, but left with
a rare DNQ. "We fought hard the rest of the season, but never got back
on track after Rockingham," added McMillen. "Steve Earwood has one of
the nicest facilities on the circuit and possibly the best racing
surface a drag racer could ask for, we just have to find that magic
formula we had in 2004 to make this a great race for us."

"Right now, we control our destiny," said McMillen. "We've got
the great partners like Amalie Oil, eRaceFuels, Flatout Gaskets, NGK
Spark Plugs, MSD, Performance Graphics, Powershield Coatings, Crane
Cams, eMax, and C. Trade Group, behind us."

Professional qualifying for the Nicko’s NY Style Pizza Spring
Nationals begins Friday, April 21 at 7:00PM with elimination rounds on
Sunday. To learn more about Terry McMillen and the Hoosier Thunder
