<p>RADFORD, VA (July 5, 2008) —The Flowmaster American Drag Racing League (ADRL) presented by the National Guard announced today that it has added mountain-motor Extreme Pro Stock as an experimental class for two of its remaining races in 2008, with the possibility of making it a full-time class in 2009 and beyond.

The two races will make up the inaugural Sonny’s Extreme Pro Stock Challenge presented by Purvis Ford-Lincoln-Mercury. The Challenge will be contested as part of the inaugural ADRL 1-800-Go-Guard.com U.S. Drags at Maryland International Raceway in Budd’s Creek, MD, and Hushpower Dragstock V at Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, NC.

“I feel good about it because it gives the Pro Stock guys more places to race with basically the same type engines; naturally aspirated 800-cubic-inch motors that make about 1,900 horsepower,” said Pro Stock engine builder Sonny Leonard of Sonny’s. “They can run 4-ohs in the eighth mile, so I think they’ll put on a good show here with the ADRL. I think it will be very exciting for the spectators and sponsors, too.”

ADRL President Kenny Nowling said he also thinks adding Extreme Pro Stock will benefit everyone involved.

“We’ve known for quite some time that several Pro Stock team owners and drivers have been interested in racing with the ADRL, but we just had to wait until the time was right to invite them over,” Nowling said. “Well, that time is now and I think creating this two-race Pro Stock Challenge, thanks to help from Sonny and Robert Patrick over at Purvis Ford, will make the perfect introduction for the class to our fans and sponsors.”
