J.J. Yeley Headshot

BRISTOL, Tennessee (March 15, 2011)

The “Stay with J.J.” program in conjunction with Star Coach Race Tours will allow fans to have exclusive and unprecedented access to one of the most likable drivers on the tour. Through the program, a handful of fans will literally be parked footsteps away from Yeley in the infield.

Those who purchased a spot for the program not only get the experience of staying in all-inclusive luxury motor coach but they will also personally receive a garage tour from Yeley as well as the opportunity to debrief and ask questions with him at the end of the day. Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds generated from the program will benefit the Bristol Speedway Children’s Charities fund.

“I’ve always been a driver that’s all about the fans. They are the reason we are here,” said Yeley. “This is a new experience that I’m embracing. It looks like we’re going to have a good group of fans and I’m looking forward to it. The fans in the infield always bring out the true devotion to the sport and I’m just excited to be apart of it this weekend.”

He continued, “the Bristol Speedway Children’s Charities program is something I’ve always felt really strong apart. Anything that I do, I always try and have an extra boost with it through one of my charities. In addition to having some fun with my fans, we’re making a difference in other ways too. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

Star Coach Race Tours, provider of the “Stay with J.J.” accommodations as well as the top-notch meals endorsed by Yeley, is a unique entity itself. Founded in 2009 by Joel Labute, Star Coach provides fans with an all-inclusive race weekend package which includes luxury accommodations in a Class-A RV or luxury motor coach, campsite entertainment such as a DJ system and exterior televisions, along with transportation to and from the airport.

“It was a no-brainier for us to take part in this program,” said Labute. “When we were just getting our company off the ground, Bristol Motor Speedway was one of the first tracks to exhibit interest in forming a long-term relationship with Star Coach. We’re excited to be in a position to give back in the form of supporting their chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities. I also know that J.J. would be a perfect fit for this concept. When we got involved with him last year, we could see how passionate his fans were about him and how good he was with his sponsors. He is exactly the type of driver Star Coach wants to be associated with.”

Yeley, who is always known for his down-to-earth demeanor added, “the fans and I will be hanging out like we’ve been friends forever, talking about races, tracks, cars, or whatever else they want. It will be a memorable time and I am looking forward to it”.

In growing response to the program, Star Coach Race Tours and Yeley also announced today that they have added two additional spaces for the program. Further details about becoming part of this opportunity of a lifetime this weekend at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway are available by visiting starcoachracetours.com, calling 401.241.4450 or emailing joel@starcoachracetours.com.

Yeley drives the No. 46 Whitney Motorsports Chevrolet Impala in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. In 2011, the team has qualified for three straight races this season despite being in the group of “go-or-go homers.” Yeley aims to make his sixth career NSCS start at BMS on Sunday in the Jeff Byrd 500 presented by Food City.

Mooresville, NC (July 21, 2010)- With the second half of the 2010 Sprint Cup season under way,

After parting ways following the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in June, Labonte and TRG Motorsports have agreed to campaign at the upcoming races at Pocono (August 1), Michigan (August 15), Atlanta (September 5), and Texas (November 7). For all four races, the car will feature the familiar red and black paint scheme of TRG sponsor Taxslayer.com.

For Team Owner Kevin Buckler, continuing with Labonte and Taxslayer.com is the right fit.

“We are very happy to have Bobby in the #71 car for the four remaining 2010 races with Taxslayer.com,” stated Buckler. “Bobby is a series’ champion. He made his debut with us at Atlanta, and we’re pleased to have him in the drivers seat of the Taxslayer Chevy.”

TRG Motorsports is based in Mooresville, North Carolina. Currently the team fields a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series entry as well as 3 different Profesional Sportscar series. The Racer’s Group was founded in 1993 and has been competing at the top level of sports car racing. TRG’s Porsche sports car program is run out of the company’s headquarters in Petaluma, California.

Dale Earnhardt Inc.

Intimidator 305, only the second Giga-coaster ever built in North America, will be the tallest and fastest roller coaster of its type on the East Coast. The lift hill will stand a towering 305 feet at its highest peak; descend 300 feet at an 85 degree-angle and thunder along the track at speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour during its three minute race to the finish. The trains, fashioned after Dale Earnhardt’s signature black car, will roar through six airtime humps plus three high-speed turns and the experience will have guests screaming for another lap around the track.

“Intimidator 305 will break records as the single largest capital investment in the history Kings Dominion,” said Pat Jones, Kings Dominion’s vice president and general manager. “The numbers speak for themselves, at a cost of $25 million, a lift hill and first drop close to the height of the park’s landmark Eiffel Tower; you’ll have to see it to believe it.” Intimidator 305 will be located in the park’s Congo section and becomes Kings Dominion’s 15th World-class roller coaster.

Dale Earnhardt, Inc. will partner with Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, owners of Kings Dominion, to bring the massive coaster to life. “We’re excited to see this new roller coaster celebrate the speed and intensity of the legendary career of Dale Earnhardt,” said Jeff Steiner, executive vice president and general manager of Dale Earnhardt, Inc. “there are millions of fans that still honor their racing hero and this is a very real way for them to connect with the spirit and passion of the Intimidator™.”

Guests will have the opportunity to see the ride being built from the ground up during the remainder of the park’s 2009 season, as well as follow its progress by watching the online webcam, set up to overlook the entire work site. Those who cannot wait until 2010 may take a virtual ride on Intimidator 305, access exclusive updates, features, virtual renderings, ride statistics, and more at www.intimidator305.com.

Intamin AG of Wollerau, Switzerland, a recognized industry leader in roller coaster development, designed Intimidator 305. The ride is scheduled to open in the spring of 2010.
