Grubnic will drive the 7,000 horsepower Endothil-CR/Oxydrene Top Fuel dragster during Saturday and Sunday’s races, including the special event Technicoat Top Fuel Shootout on Saturday. The dragster will assume its normal electric blue and black Zantrex-3 colors during Friday’s competition.

Nate Leavitt, spokesperson for Endothil and Oxydrene, says, “Let’s face it, bodybuilding has evolved. Today it’s all about being quick, tough, and strong. People don’t respect muscle-bound freaks. People respect guys who can handle themselves. And that requires quickness, toughness, and strength. That’s why products like Endothil and Oxydrene are becoming popular with top mixed martial arts champions like 'Dangerous Dan' Henderson. They’re using Endothil for strength, and Oxydrene for endurance and stamina. Why? Because Endothil makes you a lot stronger without steroids or hormone precursors, and Oxydrene has the ability to increase oxygen saturation of blood and tissue, thereby increasing time to exhaustion while decreasing time of recovery. In other words, Endothil and Oxydrene provide you the strength, power, speed, and endurance to keep going. Because if you can’t last, you’ll never be the last man standing.”

Grubnic will once again participate in Saturday’s special race-within-a-race, the Technicoat Top Fuel Shootout. The lucrative $100,000 winner’s paycheck will go to one of eight Top Fuel drivers who qualified for the prestigious and exclusive annual Las Vegas event. Grubnic won the Technicoat Top Fuel Shootout in his first attempt in 2004.

“Wow. What an exciting weekend we have lined up for the great fans of NHRA drag racing,” Grubnic, a 45-year old resident of Ennis, Mont., said. “First of all, having Dan Henderson with us and representing the Endothil-CR and Oxydrene brands is a huge honor for all of us at Kalitta Motorsports. I’m sure all of the race fans will really enjoy this partnership as well.

“Second, we get to run for the big money in the Technicoat Top Fuel Shootout again. Winning the Shootout in 2004 is definitely a highlight of my career. So, hopefully for Dan and Endothil-CR and Oxydrene we can get our second Technicoat Top Fuel Shootout win this year.”
