Pete Berner has been a strong supporter of the ADRL Extreme Pro Stock class since the first rumor
of the class was heard. The third race since the class' official adoption by the ADRL is set to
take stage this weekend at Memphis Motorsports Park and is fittingly sponsored by Quarter-MaxR
Chassis and Racing Components. Quarter-MaxR President, Rick Jones, stated that Berner was pivotal
in making the event sponsorship happen, having more firsthand experience with the ADRL than Jones
himself had. Jones plans to attend the Quarter-MaxR Memphis Drags II, marking his first appearance
at an ADRL event. Jones had been watching the ADRL for quite some time, wanting to get involved,
and saw this event as a prime opportunity. With Berner's primary sponsor taking on title rights to
the Memphis Drags, Berner is particularly excited for this weekend's event, and will wield his
Quarter-Max.com Pontiac GXP at the Memphis Drags, brandishing the familiar yellow and blue in proud
support of both the event and his sponsor.
"I think this is a great opportunity for Quarter-MaxR and for my team," says Berner. "I'm looking
forward to supporting the race this weekend, both as a racer and in affiliation with Quarter-MaxR.
The weather looks like it will be nice and I'm sure we can count on the great racing and tremendous
fans we always see at the ADRL. I used to run at Memphis Motorsports Park a lot back in my Pro Mod
days, but I haven't been there in a while, so I'm looking forward to returning. It's a real honor
to sport the colors of the event's primary sponsor and we'll be working hard to put on a good show
for the ADRL and its fans."
As is always true of Berner, he's spent much of his time in between events testing his new motor
program and preparing for his next battle down the strip. Berner continues to make leaps and bounds
in his in-house engine program as other companies come alongside to support his success.
"We never stop working to improve our game," Berner tells. "Our engine program is showing more and
more promise. We've had several key people come alongside us recently to give their expertise. Eric
Davis with Penske Racing Shocks and Danny Jesel with Jesel Perofrmance are two of those very key
individuals. Many thanks go out to them and the rest of our hard working team who help make this
thing a success. We couldn't do it without them and a win for us is a win for them. Hopefully this
weekend we'll have all these names in the winner's circle."
