Drag-racing legend Kenny Bernstein, a six-time NHRA champion, is retiring again and turning his Funny Car over to veteran driver Tommy Johnson Jr.

Bernstein, who climbed back into the cockpit for 2007 after a three-year break, said he had originally planned to race only one more year.

He changed his mind when Johnson was released by Don Prudhomme's team after a seven-year stint.

Cadillac could return to the American Le Mans Series in 2009 as part of a major reorganization of General Motors' sports-car attack over the next two years.

Cadillac last competed in the series with its Northstar prototype in 2002. Its return hinges on Chevrolet graduating from the GT1 class to prototypes with a Corvette built to the new Le Mans LMP evo rules (Competition, Nov. 5). Cadillac then would move into GT1 or GT2 with a fixed-roof version of its XLR roadster.
