Fort Worth, Texas (April 1, 2009) - Kevin Hamlin will make his second
start of the 2009 season for MacDonald Motorsports in the No. 81 D.H.
Griffin Dodge. Hamlin is looking forward to racing this weekend at the 1.5
mile speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

“I always love coming to Texas, it’s a great place and all the people
are always really kind. The track is fun, but it’s tricky because turn
two and turn four are so different from each other,” remarked Hamlin
about starting in the O‘Reilly 300 on Saturday.

“Bristol didn’t go as well as we hoped. We had some issues from the start
of the weekend that we couldn’t quite get figured out until the car was
brought back to the shop and the D.H. Griffin team went through it. We’re
going to use it as a big motivational tool for this weekend. The guys have
worked their tails off over the off week, which I really appreciate, and
I’m going to do everything I can to pay them back with a good finish and a
fun weekend,” noted Hamlin.

Hamlin’s NASCAR career began in 1999 competing in the NASCAR Northwest
Series. In his first five years he collected 12 wins, two championships in
2001 and 2002 and was named “Most Popular Driver” in both 2001 and
2004. In 2005 Hamlin was signed as a developmental driver for Chip Ganassi
Racing with Felix Sabates and is now a test driver for Earnhardt Ganassi
Racing. In 26 NASCAR Nationwide Series starts Hamlin has recorded two top
10 finishes and a career-best Nationwide finish of seventh in 2007 at
Gateway International Speedway.

“The team and I look forward to working with Kevin again for the
O‘Reilly 300 at Texas Motor Speedway, the team has put in a lot of work
in the shop over the past two weeks and we’re look for a solid run at
Texas. We appreciate D.H. Griffin’s support for the No. 81 Dodge again
this week,” remarked Randy MacDonald, owner of MacDonald Motorsports.

D.H. Griffin Companies returns as the sponsor of the No. 81 MacDonald
Motorsports Dodge. They provide services in demolition, dismantlement and
erecting, hazardous materials removal, infrastructure, site development,
grading and site preparation, used process equipment, new construction and
brownfields site redevelopment. Notably, the company was chosen as the
lead demolition consultant for the cleanup at the World Trade Center
following the 9/11 disaster. D.H. Griffin Companies has been providing
services to the construction industry for over 50 years; they have office
throughout the country including Houston, Texas.
