Wayne,
Thanks for the lead. I just went to Google and typed in "Joel Yeagle" and
there are many pages with him on it. Apparently he is very active and
competitive.
Found this link/photo. Not of the same race or year but same person/car:
http://www.nhra.com/imports/pomona_11_99/photo34.html

According to that website the show you saw will be on again on Speedvision
again on the 16th:

3rd Annual East Coast Finals Featuring the B&M Racing $47,000 Challenge

12/10/01, Monday at 10pm PST, 12/11/01 Tuesday 2am EST (Encore Play)
12/16/01, Sunday at 9am PST, Noon EST (Encore Play)

Try to remember to get a tape in the machine!
Thanks,
John
