EVAN KNOLL DONATES PROCEEDS OF T-SHIRT SALES

Team owner to donate funds to Vietnam Veteran’s groups

DECATUR, MI. – Team owner Evan Knoll will donate the proceeds of t-shirt sales for the Vietnam Veterans/MIA-POW Top Fuel Dragster presented by Torco Race Fuels and Lucas Oil. The funds will be dispersed amongst a group of approved organizations.

Knoll believes this will further solidify the true message this 8,000-horsepower dragster will convey. This entry is intended to serve as a source of pride for over 1.6 million Vietnam veterans as well as to bring awareness to the plight of the over 1,700 soldiers still missing in action from the from that conflict.

“It’s just the natural thing to do,” Knoll said. “When we made our commitment to these brave soldiers and the families of those young men and women still missing in action, we didn’t make it on a percentage level. It’s all or nothing. Make no mistakes about it, we are committed to completing this mission and helping to our furthest extent.”

This beautiful shirt will be on sale at all twenty-three NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series events as well on Torco Racing Fuels. Both will be available at next weekend's CARQUEST NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, Ca.

In addition to the significant donation, a POW-MIA and Vietnam Veterans of America flag will fly high above the team’s transporter at every event as well.

NHRA POWERade standout Melanie Troxel will drive this car during the 2007season. She finished Number 4 in the final NHRA POWERade Series standings for 2006, making a total of seven final round appearances while winning twice. Off the track she was named Sportswoman of the Year by the Women’s Sports Foundation and was also nominated for two ESPY Awards.
