MADISON, Ill. (May 6, 2007) - Josh Hernandez won his fourth straight AMS Staff Leasing Pro Modified Challenge event behind the wheel of his Howard Moon-tuned '68 Camaro Pro Mod, this time eclipsing the competition at the O'Reilly NHRA Midwest Nationals in Madison, Ill. Keeping his round-win record perfect in the series presented by Tindle Enterprises, Hernandez is now 16-0 and has matched Mike Ashley's record for consecutive event wins set in 2005.

"What an incredible weekend," Hernandez said. "I've never seen this bunch of guys work so hard for so long to achieve the incredible, the impossible. The heat, the rain, the stress, the travel and the sleep deprivation failed to get in the way of these men on a mission, and I couldn't be more proud of all of them.

"Four wins in a row is really an amazing feat, and without a team that works so well together, it wouldn't have been possible," he said.
