Duane Rister has retired his 2004 Pro Extreme Corvette, replacing it with this '68 Camaro built by Terry Murphy Race Cars. Though this will be the ADRL debut of the car, Rister has made laps with the car in Holly Springs, AL. earlier this year. The runs did not go as planned, and Rister ended up making contact with the guard rail. However, the damage was mostly cosmetic.
Grant McCrary is back on the ADRL Tour behind the wheel of his new 2007 Fast Forward Innovations Dodge Stratus. G-Mac has teamed up with former outlaw street car racer, Rick Thorton, to put together a two car team for the Extreme 10.5 class. Both cars will feature 500 cubic inch power plans with twin 108 mm Percision Turbochargers. Thorton had made some promising passes in testing, but hit the wall. He looks to be out for about a month. G-Mac's car hit the track for the first time last week. Testing did not go as planned, but the team believes they are moving in the right direction.
