Nancy Matter Anticipates Successful Results for 2008 Season Opener

BAYTOWN, Texas --The Top Alcohol Funny Car Team of Nancy Matter is eager to get out to the track this weekend for competition at the 21st Annual O'Reilly Spring Nationals in Southeast Texas.

Matter, who is positioning herself into a full time professional drag racer, is ready to kick off the beginning of her third full season of competition within the Alcohol Class. This marks her seventh year as an owner and driver, having originally competed in the Super Comp class.

Following a disappointing delay which forced the team to withdraw from competition earlier in the month at the Lucas Oil Sportsman Series Division 4 opener in Belle Rose, LA, Matter's team is more than ready to get to the track and compete.

"We have several goals for this weekend. The first, like all competitors, is to post solid numbers early and qualify well within the field", states Matter. "We've been doing a lot of homework during the off season which has led us to yet another huge leap forward within our fuel system that we've incorporated. Hopefully, we'll finish off the weekend getting at least one win light or more to our credit during eliminations."

Matter's Camaro is back to basics in design this weekend with the exception of her new marketing partner Drag Strip Girl on the hood of the car.
