<p><strong>CHARLOTTE, NC (February 9, 2012) – </strong>With under a month to go before the green flag drops on the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, America Israel Racing (AIR) has unveiled its unique paint scheme for the No. 49 Robinson-Blakeney Racing Toyota that will be driven by JJ Yeley at the Daytona 500.</p>
<p>Inspired by AIR’s mission of promoting the importance of America supporting Israel, the design prominently displays both the United States and Israel flags as well as a striking image of a bald eagle holding both nations’ flags in its claws and an olive branch in its beak on the hood.</p>
<p>“We wanted to ensure our car design was not only eye-catching, but properly conveyed the mission and values of America Israel Racing,” said AIR co-founder Rich Shirey. “The eagle in particular contains a great deal of symbolism – it has a determined look on its face, because we are determined to voice the importance of America’s support of Israel.</p>
<p>“However, we wanted to be sure to include the olive branch, because it is a universal sign of peace and above all else, America Israel Racing’s message is a peaceful one.”<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>American Israel Racing has teamed with Robinson-Blakeney Racing of Monroe, North Carolina, to place a car in the 2012 Daytona 500 field on February 26 at Daytona International Speedway in Florida. AIR hopes to continue its partnership with Robinson-Blakeney Racing beyond Daytona, and with the support of like-minded individuals AIR will spread its message of American Israeli support by placing a car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup field for the entire 2012 season. Anyone wishing to support America Israel Racing and its cause can make a donation online at <a title="http://americaisraelracing.com/" href="http://americaisraelracing.com/">AmericaIsraelRacing.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>About </strong><strong>America</strong><strong> </strong><strong>Israel</strong><strong> Racing</strong></p>
<p>America Israel Racing was formed to raise awareness of the importance of America supporting Israel, the only true democracy in the Middle East, as it stands against its enemies. The North Carolina-based race team, founded in 2011, is in the process of fundraising to field a car in the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starting with the Daytona 500. Through strategic partnerships and joint ventures with other organizations, America Israel Racing hopes to spread the message throughout the world that the United States supports Israel.</p>

(February 8, 2012) – </strong> To better strengthen its overall program, JD Motorsports will field a second car for the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series season.</p>
<p>Johnny Davis, owner of JD Motorsports, will race a No. 4 Chevrolet to double their efforts on the track this season.</p>
<p>Mike Wallace will continue to drive the No. 01 Chevrolet for JD Motorsports on a full-time basis with Newt Moore as the crew chief. The second car will have several drivers in the seat including Danny Efland and Darryl Harr; with the possibility of Mike’s daughter, Chrissy Wallace, driving if marketing partners can be found.</p>
<p>Efland will drive the No. 4 Chevrolet for JD Motorsports in the upcoming NNS race at Daytona International Speedway. Both cars are locked into the first five races via their Owner’s Points from the 2011 season.</p>
<p>“We needed to do this because a two-car operation is better than one,” Davis said. “Any time you can get twice as much information from two drivers and teams, the better understanding you have of what’s going on out there on the track.</p>
<p>“Pairing this new venture with a veteran like Mike (Wallace) adds an even bigger dynamic and improves the feedback we’ll be getting this year. All information is good and we’re looking forward to this being a big part of our success this year.</p>
<p>“This is just another step to making JD Motorsports a stronger team, and more improved all around. We’re feeling pretty good about our outlook this year. We just need to get the marketing partnerships to make it even better.”</p>

(Photo credit: Peter Iovino)</div></div>Larry, Moe and Curly to deliver the Green Flag for the 54<sup>th</sup> running of ‘The Great American Race’</em> </strong></p>
<p><strong>DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. –</strong> As Grand Marshals, co-stars from the new Three Stooges movie Jane Lynch and Kate Upton will deliver the four most famous words in motorsports – “Drivers, start your engines.”</p>
<p>Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Will Sasso &#8212; starring as Larry, Moe &amp; Curly – in the all new <em>The Three Stooges</em> movie from Twentieth Century Fox, will start the action by delivering the green flag at the Daytona 500, NASCAR’s most prestigious race, on Sunday, February 26<sup>th</sup> (FOX, 1 p.m. ET).</p>
<p>“We look forward to Jane and Kate’s participation in the pre-race ceremonies, adding to the star power of NASCAR’s biggest and richest race of the year,” Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III said. “Also, the thousands of race fans in attendance and the millions more watching on FOX Sports are eagerly waiting to experience ‘Stoogemania,’ when The Three Stooges deliver the green flag”</p>
<p>In <em>The Three Stooges, </em>which hits theaters everywhere April 13, 2012, newborns Larry, Moe and Curly are left on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns. The boys grow up finger-poking, nyuk-nyuk-nyuking and woo-woo-wooing their way to uncharted levels of knuckleheaded misadventure. Out to save their childhood home, only The Three Stooges could become embroiled in an oddball murder plot…while stumbling into starring in a phenomenally successful TV reality show.</p>
<p>Earl Benjamin, President and CEO of C3 Entertainment, Inc. (The Three Stooges brand owner) and Executive Producer of the new movie, said “The Three Stooges as a part of the Daytona 500 gives both comedy and racing fans a truly unique blend of two of America’s most enduring cultural icons – The greatest comedy team of all time and the aptly named The Great American Race. What could be better?”</p>
<p>Jane Lynch is best known for her role as the sarcastic villain on FOX’s hit show Glee, for which she has earned an Emmy and Golden Globe. Kate Upton, who was raised in Melbourne, Fla., is known for her appearance in the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, where she was named Rookie of the Year.</p>
<p>Sean Hayes (Larry) garnered acclaim as the sarcastic and hilarious Jack McFarland on NBC’s long-running sitcom, Will &amp; Grace. Will Sasso (Curly) starred for five seasons (1997-2002) on FOX-TV’s hit sketch comedy series MADtv, Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe) recently portrayed Frank Sinatra in the Emmy-nominated mini-series The Kennedys.</p>

<p>Among those recently certified to use the classic red, white and blue Made In The USA Brand Certification Mark is Joe Denette Motorsports, a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) team located in Kernersville, NC.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are honored to be associated with the Made In USA Brand Certification Mark,&#8221; said Joe Denette of Joe Denette Motorsports. &#8220;Racing was born in the south and NASCAR team members are hardworking American&#8217;s. This association goes way beyond the label in a t-shirt. This certification mark supports America, and the American people by supporting American made products and keeping the American people working. I hope the use of this trademark will grow with companies across the United States and help flourish stateside business. It&#8217;s a simple action that can make a big difference.&#8221;</p>
<p>Joe Denette Motorsports will have one of the more unique ways of showing off the Made In USA Brand Certification Mark this year placing it front and center on the No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Max Gresham in the NCWTS.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-94059" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Made-in-USA-Brand.jpg" alt="Made in USA Brand" title="Made in USA Brand" width="167" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-94059" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:167px;">Made in USA Brand</div></div>According to Marcie Gabor, President, Made in USA Brand and Principal at Conrad Phillips Vutech, a branding and marketing firm located in Columbus, Ohio, the Made In USA Brand Certification Mark is a perfect fit for NASCAR and its fans who are among the most loyal and brand conscious consumers.</p>
<p>&#8220;American companies now have a distinctive registered certification mark for labeling the United States as country of origin on their products. Conscientious consumers will be able to identify at a glance products that are made in the USA,&#8221; said Gabor.</p>
<p>JDM and Gresham will debut the Made In USA Brand Certification Mark in the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA Racing Series event at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) on Saturday, February 18. He will also pilot the No. 24 Made In USA Brand Chevrolet at Daytona International Speedway in the NCWTS NextEra Energy Resources 250 on Friday, February 24.</p>
<p>The Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA Racing Series event will roll off at 4:30 Eastern Time on Saturday, February 18. The race will be telecast live on SPEEDTV. Meanwhile, SPEED will also telecast the NextEra Energy Resources 250 NCWTS race live on Friday, February 24. That event takes the green flag at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very cool that my race team &#8211; Joe Denette Motorsports &#8211; has become a Made In USA Brand certified company,&#8221; said Gresham. &#8220;It&#8217;s really important that Americans look to support companies that produce American goods and services. By doing that, you&#8217;re helping to stimulate our economy and secure American jobs. JDM and I will be asking fans at Daytona and throughout the rest of the 2012 season to look for and buy products that are American made and have the Made In USA Brand Certification Mark. I&#8217;ve pledged to do that and I now check twice before I scan anything at the checkout.&#8221;</p>

Leilani will be driving the first ever ocean awareness themed car on the high banks of Daytona joining Tony Marks Racing in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards on February 18, 2012.  In an incredible display of the public’s support of her cause, Leilani’s race to bring public awareness to the plight of the dolphins has been funded completely by donations from individuals and organizations who wanted to help get her ocean awareness race car on track. </p>
<p>The No. 12 TMR Dodge Charger will feature the Academy Award winning documentary “The Cove” which exposes the annual slaughter of thousands of dolphins in a small cove in Taiji, Japan. The documentary, which won over 70 awards globally, also exposed the undeniable connection between dolphin parks and dolphin captivity with the largest slaughter of dolphins in the world. Munter, a biology graduate, has made three trips to Japan to document the dolphin slaughter first hand and keep the issue in the public’s mind. Leilani comments, “Racing a “The Cove” themed race car at Daytona is an incredible opportunity to reach a new audience about this important issue and since the race is broadcast live on SPEED, it will be seen in the United States and overseas.”</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-94020" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Munter.jpg" alt="Leilani Munter" title="Leilani Munter" width="250" height="193" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-94020" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:250px;">Leilani Munter</div></div>The star of film, dolphin activist Ric O’Barry, and the director Louie Psihoyos will be joining Leilani at Daytona and autographing 1000 DVD’s of the movie to give away to race fans during the autograph session in the ARCA garage on Saturday, February 18 at 12:30pm. “The Cove” was produced by the Oceanic Preservation Society, a non-profit organization that creates film, photography and media that inspires people to save the ocean. Special thanks to sponsor pair Networks (http://www.pair.com), a carbon neutral website hosting company who hosts Leilani’s websites and the Shaw Family Fund for their significant contributions to “The Cove” dolphin awareness campaign at Daytona.</p>
<p>“I am excited Leilani is with the team for Daytona and hopefully we can take this further into the future. She is a very driven person and passionate about what she believes in; what she is doing is an honorable thing- she takes risks to expose the brutal slayings of the dolphins and that is something that a lot of us would not even think about doing,” said team owner Tony Marks. </p>
<p>TMR Racing is holding a screening of the film at the race shop so the team will have a deeper understanding of the motivating force behind their driver. Leilani’s birthday is Saturday, February 18th and this year it falls on race day- what better way for her to celebrate than to take the No. 12 “The Cove”/Dolphin Awareness Dodge Charger to Victory Lane.</p>
<p>Be sure to follow Leilani in her No. 12 “The Cove”/Dolphin Awareness Dodge Charger in the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway LIVE on SPEED Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. EST.</p>

Her name is Maryeve Dufault and this is everything you need to know about this model-turned-badass.</p>
<p>When I say that Dufault has become a badass now that she has a seat for the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide season, I&#8217;m not exactly telling the truth. This French Canadian got started racing since she was four years old, starting off in motocross and breaking both her arms before she turned nine. So she has a history of being tough.</p>
<p>The first time you might&#8217;ve heard of her was back in 2000, when she won the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International beauty pagent. She spent the next few years working in Hollywood, being prized for her looks and her skills. The first job she landed here in the States was as a model on &#8220;The Price Is Right,&#8221; but she also worked as a Hollywood stunt driver.</p>
<p>Her breakout year came in 2011. She joined the ARCA Racing Series at the end of 2010, so 2011 was her first full season competing in stock cars. Driving in many of the tracks used in NASCAR, she finished 16th in the standings, despite having missed over a quarter of the races due to a lack of sponsorship. In August she got her first drive in NASCAR Nationwide, a feeder series to the Sprint Cup major leagues and she&#8217;ll be running a full season this year in a Quebecois Dodge Challenger.</p>
<p>She won&#8217;t be challenging the leaders this year in Nationwide, but we are looking forward to seeing more women in racing, especially someone as driven as Dufault.</p>

<p><strong>MOORESVILLE, N.C. (February 8, 2012) – </strong> Spraker Racing reached back into their history books a bit to find a driver for the ARCA race on Saturday, February 18 at Daytona International Speedway.</p>
<p>Alex Kennedy of Aztec, N.M. will wheel the No. 08 Ford for the team. The 20-year old driver and team raced together in 2009 where they achieved a top-10 points finish in the NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East. He also ran one race in 2010 for the team.</p>
<p>Since then, Kennedy has gone on to make 11 NASCAR Nationwide Series starts the past two seasons achieving one top-20 finish and six finishes better than 25th place.</p>
<p>And, as has been the case in almost all of his NNS starts, he will be carrying the Dream Factory on board for Daytona. Dream Factory (<a href="http://www.dreamfactoryinc.org">http://www.dreamfactoryinc.org</a>) is a non-profit volunteer organization granting dreams to children with critical or chronic illnesses between the ages of three and 18. Other marketing partnership opportunities are still available for the race.</p>
<p>This will be Kennedy’s first time racing the 2.5-mile high banks of Daytona.</p>
<p>“New venues are nothing for us with Alex,” said Jeff Spraker, team owner. “We went to Dover with him a few years back and he was third on the sheet after the first practice. This car has been tested at both Daytona and Talladega and we’re pretty confident we have a good Ford. Alex is a quick study and adapts quickly to new tracks.</p>
<p>“We have a Roush engine and will be getting some pit support from them for the race, too. They have been very helpful towards our team and this couldn’t happen without them.</p>
<p>“You know, the first time we had Alex in our car at Caraway (N.C.) Speedway he was all of 15-years old. And now, five years later, the same group of guys is going to Daytona with him. There aren’t too many teams that can say that these days.”</p>
<p>For Kennedy, the chance to race at Daytona is something he’s been looking to do for years.</p>
<p>“When this all came together, I couldn’t believe the opportunity to finally race the historic track of Daytona was finally going to happen,” he said. “We’ve always had a good relationship with Spraker and were fairly successful during our K&amp;N Pro Series East days together.</p>
<p>“We’re going to have a Roush motor and some crew guys helping us out on the track and NASCAR veteran Jimmy Kitchens is going to spot for me. I’m going to take it all in and learn everything I can during every lap.”</p>
<p>Qualifying takes place on Friday, February 17 with race action starting at 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 18. The 80-lap race can be seen live on SPEED TV.</p>

<p>Cena was invited to participate in this year’s big race by 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series runner-up Carl Edwards on WWE’s Monday Night Raw®. Edwards got out of his official No. 99 Fastenal Ford and told Cena, “NASCAR asked me to come to Monday Night Raw and personally invite you to drop the green flag and officially start the Daytona 500 on February 26.” An appreciative John Cena enthusiastically accepted with an emphatic “Yes!”</p>
<p>“John Cena is the greatest Superstar in WWE today,” Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III said. “We look forward to seeing him on the flag stand waving the green flag to start ‘The Great American Race’ and kick off the new NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.”</p>
<p>Cena, who made his WWE debut in 2002, is a ten-time World Champion. He can be seen each week on the hit cable series Monday Night Raw on USA Network. The avid NASCAR fan will headline WrestleMania against The Rock® at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on Sunday, April 1, 2012.</p>
<p>Cena’s success has led to starring roles in various Hollywood films. He recently starred in The Reunion from WWE Studios and alongside Patricia Clarkson and Danny Glover in the family drama Legendary. His first theatrical film was the 2006 action-thriller The Marine from Twentieth Century Fox. Always a fan favorite with kids, Cena played himself in Nickelodeon’s popular teen comedies Fred: The Movie and Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred. A popular talk show guest, Cena has appeared on The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Talk and many more.</p>
<p>Cena, like many NASCAR drivers, has a long standing relationship with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He is on pace to grant his 300th wish, making him the first celebrity wish granter ever to reach that lofty goal. The Make-A-Wish Foundation recently dedicated a room to WWE at the foundation’s headquarters in Phoenix, AZ, in honor of Cena’s unwavering dedication to children with life-threatening medical conditions.</p>
<p>Past Honorary Starters for the Daytona 500 include NASCAR Hall of Famers Bobby Allison and Richard Petty, actor Ashton Kutcher, comedian Whoopi Goldberg and singer Mariah Carey.</p>
<p>Tickets for Speedweeks 2012 events, including the 54th annual Daytona 500, are available online at www.daytonainternationalspeedway.comor by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.</p>

<p>Founded in Toledo, Ohio in 1953, the Temperance, Mich.-based company will begin 2012 with a refined business plan and offer new opportunities to increase the level of on-track competition and off-track growth within the racing industry.</p>
<p>&#8220;Entering our 60th season, we&#8217;ve done some internal alignment to best position ourselves going forward,&#8221; said Ron Drager, ARCA&#8217;s president and chief executive officer. &#8220;Our moves will offer continued stability and a responsible pattern for growth at an important time in our company&#8217;s history.&#8221;</p>
<p>Drager announced the promotion of Jeff Brehmer to executive vice president and chief financial officer. Brehmer, 47, of Tecumseh, Mich., had been the vice president of finance and administration since joining the ARCA staff on a full-time basis in 2008. </p>
<p>Brehmer&#8217;s involvement with ARCA stretches back to the early 1980s, when he sold programs and stubbed tickets at ARCA&#8217;s two short track properties, Toledo and Flat Rock Speedways. He advanced to become the tour director for the ARCA Figure-8 Series, and returned to ARCA over three years ago after spending 20 years working in the cement and building products industry.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jeff has the best comprehensive base of knowledge across all of our properties, from our on-track racing activities to our business interests,&#8221; said Drager. &#8220;His experiences in racing and the strong business acumen he has developed over the years make him a worthy leader for many of our efforts going forward.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brehmer will directly oversee the business operations of the sanctioning body, including: the flagship ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards; Toledo and Flat Rock Speedways; the ARCA Truck Series; and the newly formed sanction agreement with Champion Racing Association and the ARCA CRA Super Series.</p>
<p>In addition to Brehmer&#8217;s promotion, Drager also announced changes in the marketing department, including the promotion of Mark Gundrum to vice president of business development and corporate partnerships. Gundrum, 49, has been the vice president of marketing and communications since 2004, and will now focus more of his time and efforts on business development and sales opportunities. </p>
<p>&#8220;Mark&#8217;s ability to bring new business opportunities and marketing partners to our company in challenging economic times has been extremely valuable,&#8221; Drager said. &#8220;Our new structure allows him to spend more time on the sales and corporate partnership side of the business, and with the growth and development of the marketing department as a whole, this is a logical progression.&#8221;</p>
<p>ARCA&#8217;s director of marketing, George Mergen, will be charged with the added responsibility of public relations. Mergen, a former Ford Racing agency representative who joined ARCA in the spring of 2010, will oversee the marketing and communications department.</p>
<p>2012 will be the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards&#8217; 60th Anniversary Season, featuring 20 races at 18 tracks. The season begins with the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 18. The event will air live on SPEED. </p>
<p>The complete 2012 event schedule is available at <a href="http://www.ARCARacing.com">ARCARacing.com.</a></p>
<p>The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards has crowned an ARCA national champion each year since its inaugural season in 1953, and has toured over 200 race tracks in 28 states since its inception. The series has tested the abilities of drivers and race teams over the most diverse schedule of stock car racing events in the world, visiting tracks ranging from 0.4 mile to 2.66 miles in length, on both paved and dirt surfaces as well as a left- and right-turn road course in its most recent season. This year, the series will visit Alabama&#8217;s Mobile International Speedway and Minnesota&#8217;s Elko Speedway for the first time; ARCA&#8217;s first visit to Minnesota will give ARCA a race in a 29th state.</p>
<p>Founded by John and Mildred Marcum in 1953 in Toledo, Ohio, the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) is recognized among the leading sanctioning bodies in the country. Closing in on completing its sixth decade after hundreds of thousands of miles of racing, ARCA administers over 100 race events each season in three professional touring series and local weekly events.</p>

(February 6, 2012)</strong> &#8211; Entering their ninth season with Richard Childress Racing driver Paul Menard, PEAK® Performance announced today the No. 27 Chevrolet will sport an exciting and electric look during 2012 Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway.</p>
<p align="left">Expanding on their hood sponsorship of the Menards Chevrolet, PEAK has redesigned the No. 27 Impala to be completely adorned with the signature &#8220;PEAK blue&#8221; and &#8220;Menards yellow&#8221; as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series kicks off the season with the 54th running of the &#8220;Great American Race&#8221; on February 26. The special paint scheme will also be showcased in the Budweiser Shootout on February 18 and the Duel 150 qualifying race on February 23.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;PEAK has been a great partner to work with over the years,&#8221; commented Menard. &#8220;This year, to kick off the season at Daytona with a little extra punch, PEAK decided to run a vastly different paint scheme on the No. 27 Chevrolet. There is always a special energy going into Daytona and I know the team and I are all excited to get there and do everything we can to put the No. 27 PEAK car into Victory Lane.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">PEAK first partnered with the 2011 Brickyard 400 champion in 2004, but their relationship with Menards dates back to the home improvement chain&#8217;s IndyCar days. To celebrate the occasion and generate excitement with fans, PEAK will feature exclusive online Menard content in the days leading into the Daytona 500.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_top_ght size-full wp-image-18001" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/abr-logo.jpg" alt="Andy Belmont Racing (ABR)" title="Andy Belmont Racing (ABR)" width="300" height="104" class="alignright size-full wp-image-18001" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:300px;">Andy Belmont Racing (ABR)</div></div><strong>SALISBURY, North Carolina (February 6, 2012) &#8211; -</strong> Officials from ModSpace and Andy Belmont Racing (ABR) jointly announced today that Hunting Beach, California native Brandon Davis will join the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards tour in a second-car effort for ABR for the 2012 season-opener, the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway (DIS) on Saturday, February 18, 2012. </p>
<p>The 26-year old Davis looks to strengthen an already impressive resume which includes championships in the World Challenge GT Series and most recently the 2011 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series (NWAAS) on the West coast at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale (Calif.). On the strength of 11 wins in the NWAAS, Davis rightfully earned a shot in the NASCAR K&#038;N Pro Series West at Infineon (Calif.) Speedway. </p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-93913" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Brandon-Davis.jpg" alt="Brandon Davis" title="Brandon Davis" width="167" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-93913" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:167px;">Brandon Davis</div></div>Now, the first of 20 races on the ARCA Racing Series tour will undoubtedly bring a whole set of new challenges and surroundings for the former BFGoodrich Trans-Am Series competitor; but one that he will openly embrace. </p>
<p>“I’m extremely grateful to ModSpace and Andy Belmont Racing for the opportunity to drive at Daytona,” said Davis, who will drive the No. 2 ModSpace Ford Fusion to open the 60th season for the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA). “It’s Daytona, so automatically you want to go out there and do well. But, this is a whole new experience for me. I’m grasping this chance to make a positive name for myself and for everyone who’s making this possible for me.” </p>
<p>Andy Belmont, team principal at ABR is confident in his rookie’s abilities to get the job done at the “World Center of Racing.” </p>
<p>“It’s pretty clear, the kid has great credentials,” Belmont said. “We’re bringing Brandon a really good piece to the track and with his knack for success in a racecar; it should transfer over into the ARCA Racing Series with similar results. Daytona’s a monster in its own, so while we have goals, we just want him to go out there and do the best job he can and hopefully that will result in a positive finish.” </p>
<p>ModSpace, a leading provider of modular buildings, portable storage and services for temporary and permanent space needs will begin its third year as a sponsor for the veteran race team – but Daytona will resemble the first time that the Berwyn, Pennsylvania-based corporation has boasted a double-dose of racecar exposure at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. </p>
<p>“We are excited to have two cars with two great drivers paired up for this race, said William Mann, Vice President of Business Development for ModSpace. “Having a drafting partner is crucial on this track! Andy Belmont has put a lot of effort into fielding great cars and developing great drivers! We are excited to see both of these drivers represent ModSpace on this historic track.&#8221; </p>
<p>“ModSpace has been a great ambassador and sponsor to the Motorsports industry,” sounded Belmont. “We’re extremely thankful to have had their support the last two years and we’re hoping to build on a strong 2011 season into championship contenders this season with our full-time driver Mikey Kile. With Brandon now behind the wheel of our No. 2 Ford Fusion, our chances of getting ModSpace to victory lane again increase even more.” </p>
<p>Davis’s teammate, Mikey Kile will drive the team’s primary entry, the No. 1 ModSpace Ford Fusion in his 29th career ARCA start but first for ABR. </p>
<p>The Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona (80 laps / 200 miles) is the first of 20 events on the 2012 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards schedule. The 49th ARCA race held at Daytona is a three-day show. Practice begins Thursday, February 16 with a four hour practice session planned from 1:00 p.m. &#8211; 5:00 p.m. Menards pole qualifying presented by Ansell is set for Friday, February 17 slated to begin at 2:00 p.m. A forty-five minute final practice session is etched in on Saturday, February 18th from 10:00 a.m. &#8211; 10:45 a.m. The event will take the green flag later that day shortly after 4:30 p.m. The race will be televised live on SPEED with additional race coverage including live timing and scoring through the ARCA Racing Network (ARN) online at <a href="http://www.arcaracing.com">arcaracing.com.</a>  All times are local. ARCA, celebrating its 60th season in 2012 is the preamble for the highly anticipated Budweiser Shootout for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) set to ignite under the lights later that night.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><em><strong>NASCAR RACE HUB</strong><strong> OPENS SPEED COVERAGE</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><em><strong>LIVE FROM MEDIA DAY</strong></em><strong> </strong></p>
<p>            SPEED opens its extensive Daytona Speedweeks programming lineup Feb. 16 with reports from <strong>Media Day</strong> on a special live two-hour edition of <em>NASCAR Race Hub. </em>NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars take to the track the following day for the first Budweiser Shootout practice session and SPEED brings viewers the <strong>Budweiser Shootout Selection Show</strong> on Feb. 17 at 8:30 p.m. ET.</p>
<p><strong><em>NASCAR Race Hub</em></strong>, which enjoyed a 27-percent ratings increase in 2011, goes live from Daytona on Feb. 20-22, with Steve Byrnes hosting, Danielle Trotta reporting and analysis from Larry McReynolds, Randy Pemberton and Matt Clark.</p>
<p>Byrnes, covering Daytona Speedweeks for the 27<sup>th</sup> time, has two main goals in bringing NASCAR’s season-opening action to SPEED audiences.</p>
<p>“First off, look at the scale at Daytona … it’s a huge venue,” said Byrnes, who also serves as a pit reporter for FOX Sports during the Daytona 500. “We have to use all the tools at our disposal and find the best ways to deliver a sense of speed in a place that can be overwhelming. And secondly, we have to keep finding stories that convey just how special the Daytona 500 is. It’s more than our Super Bowl … it’s much more than the money … for the drivers, it’s all about the trophy and for the fans it’s all about creating memories that often last a lifetime.”</p>
<p>On Thursday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. ET, SPEED is live from the <strong>Gatorade Duel at Daytona</strong> as drivers battle for the final spots on the Daytona 500 starting grid. Krista Voda and Jeff Hammond host, with the NASCAR on FOX team of Darrell Waltrip, Larry McReynolds and Mike Joy calling the action and Byrnes, Dr. Dick Berggren and Matt Yocum reporting from the pits.</p>
<p>Coming off its most-watched season ever, the <strong>NASCAR Camping World Truck Series </strong>opens its season under the lights Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. ET as <strong><em>NCWTS Setup w/ Krista Voda </em></strong>sets the tone for the green flag at 7:30 p.m. ET. Rick Allen hosts with Michael Waltrip and Phil Parsons providing analysis and Hermie Sadler and Ray Dunlap reporting from the pits.</p>
<p>Working with NASCAR and Sportvision, SPEED adds full telemetry to the NCWTS broadcasts in 2012. The network also will continue to explore more ways to connect with viewers through social media initiatives.</p>
<p>SPEED also offers live coverage of the <strong>ARCA Racing Series</strong> race Feb. 18 at 4:30 p.m. ET, with Allen and Parsons in the booth and Dunlap, Jim Tretow and Jamie Howe in the pits.</p>
<p><strong><em>NASCAR RaceDay</em></strong>, which saw huge audience increases during last season’s 10-race NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup, returns for three pre-race editions with John Roberts as host, Kyle Petty, Kenny Wallace and McReynolds providing analysis and Wendy Venturini, Rutledge Wood, Clark and Howe reporting from the garage.</p>
<p><em>NASCAR RaceDay</em> offers pre-race coverage of the Budweiser Shootout, Gatorade Duel at Daytona and a special three-hour show (Feb. 26, 9 a.m. ET) leading into FOX Sports coverage of the Daytona 500.</p>
<p>Wallace gets a little extra attention as the network special <strong><em>Chasing Daytona: Kenny Wallace</em> </strong>chronicles the veteran driver and SPEED personality’s quest to make the Great American Race. The program premieres Feb. 22 at 9 p.m. ET.</p>
<p>Making a special appearance at Daytona Speedweeks, car customizer and racer Jimmy Shine, host of the SPEED original <strong><em>Car Warriors</em></strong>, stops by several shows during the week to talk season two, which gets a special preview Feb. 24 at 10 p.m. ET, following the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.</p>
