GAINESVILLE, Fla. (March 16, 2007) - Josh Hernandez, driver of the Dr. Moon's Rage '68 Camaro Pro Mod, is the top qualifier after two out of three scheduled runs in the AMS Pro Mod Challenge season-opening ACDelco NHRA Gatornationals. Blasting to a 6.015/240.68, Hernandez sits on top of what has the potential to be one of the quickest fields in AMS Pro Mod history.
 
"It feels great," Hernandez said. "I'll definitely sleep well tonight knowing that we're at the top.
 
"I know that anything can happen, and with the cars that we've got out here, any one of them can put down a record setting run tomorrow, but, I'm confident that we're in a really good place," he said with a smile.
 
"Howard [Moon, crew chief] and the boys have done such a great job, it makes my job easy sometimes. With that 'Moon horsepower,' I feel really good every time we go to the line. I'm just glad that Tommy [Lipar, team sponsor] was here to see that run. Without him and Dave Wood [AMS Staff Leasing owner and team sponsor] and all of our other sponsors, we wouldn't be able to do this," Hernandez said.
 
"Now, we just need to go laps tomorrow night and Sunday," he added.
 
Hernandez and the AMS/Rage team have one additional qualifying run scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday in the AMS Staff Leasing Pro Modified Challenge presented by Tindle Enterprises, Inc. The first round of eliminations will be run at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and will conclude Sunday, March 18 beginning at 11 a.m. at Gainesville Raceway.
