Chandler, AZ (AHN) - Kenny Bernstein's comeback into the sport he loves, drag racing, took a tough hit last week after he failed to make the Funny Car field in Pomona, California. This week, the NHRA heads to Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, Arizona along with Bernstein's chances of redemption from the following week. He is the only driver to have won in a Top Fuel and Funny Car dragster at the Firebird Raceway. That's why Bernstein is so pumped about getting to the Arizona dessert and he also feels he has something to prove. "Our team is dedicated and has been putting forth every effort to get this car running quick and fast," said Bernstein. His team is new and one that Bernstein says, "was built from the Mac Tool Box up." Bernstein shockingly announced his return to NHRA action from retirement in late 2006 to drive the Monster Energy/Lucas Oil Funny Car for 2007. Last week was the fastest Funny Car field in the history of the NHRA and more drama will be added on top of that as Bernstein tries to make the field this weekend in Phoenix. Qualifying will be on Friday and Saturday with elimination rounds held on Sunday.
