DeWitt, Michigan (Sunday, June 6, 2010): After showing glimpses of
stardom in the ARCA Racing Series Presented by RE/MAX and Menards in
limited appearances during the 2009 racing season, 18-year-old Chad
Finley is proving in 2010 that he’s now a threat to win when he enters
any race on any track on the 2010 ARCA Schedule.

Finley proved that point at the huge 2.5 mile multi-banked triangular
paved oval of the Pocono Raceway in Pocono, Pennsylvania on Saturday,
June 5th in the running of the Messina Wildlife Animal Stopper 200.

After Qualifying Fourth fastest in Menards Pole Qualifying, the
DeWitt, Michigan standout in his #29 Auto Value Parts Stores and
Certified Service Centers / AutoParts2020.com / Brad Keselowski Racing
(BKR) machine ran up front all day long and had a chance to win late
in the afternoon en route to a third place finish.

“Pocono was very unique. The three different corners are very
challenging and keeps you up on the wheel every lap,” Explained Finley
after his podium run in the Keystone State. “We had a good car and I
can’t thank the BKR guys enough. Never seeing this place before and
qualifying fourth is all about them giving me good cars and our PME
engines are just outstanding.”

The Great Lakes State driver added; “We were going to try and get them
on fuel mileage at the end until that last caution. We had enough fuel
to go the distance as we where riding around logging laps.That would
have been big. We were just way too tight to get them in that last
five lap sprint. Proud of every one though. Can’t wait for MIS
(Michigan International Speedway), we’re getting there. Patience is
tough deal but I feel we Will get there soon.” He ended.

There’s no time for rest for Finley and the BKR Team with a brief road
trip south down US127 in his home state of Michigan on the agenda for
this Friday, June 11th at the 2.0 mile d-shaped paved oval of the
Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan for the Racing
for Wildlife 200.

After Michigan, a return visit to Pocono is in order on Saturday July
31st for the Weis Markets 125. Then another race close to home will be
the Chicagoland ARCA 150 at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet,
Illinois on August 27th. In addition, plans also call for Finley to
race the ARCA shows at Iowa Speedway (July 10th), Kansas Speedway
(September 30th) and the 2010 season finale at Rockingham Speedway on
October 9th.

In addition to his ARCA schedule, Finley will also race in several
events scheduled across the Midwestern United States, primarily in his
home state of Michigan as well as Indiana and Ohio aboard his
