PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.  - Tommy D'Aprile, fifth in IHRA Pro Modified points in 2006 and fresh off of his appearance on the popular TLC show Miami Ink, will race this weekend at the Amalie Oil North American Nationals contested at the New England Dragway, August 10-12. The one race partnership will put the 2006 Pro Rookie Driver of the Year behind the wheel of the Thomas Zarella owned Camaro tuned by Dan Page of Dan Page Race Cars. Zarella purchased the race-proven Vanashing Point 1968 Camaro from John Russo.

"I can't thank Thomas and Dan enough for the opportunity," said D'Aprile. "I'm excited about getting out there and mixing it up with the rest of the Pro Mods."

Last season, D'Aprile drove the team car for Quain Stott Drag Racing and made a semi-final appearance at Epping. "It's a great track," said D'Aprile. "I had some success there last year, hopefully I can provide a promising weekend for this team."
