| Richard Petty to Release Signature Series |
Mar 11, 2010 12:00 ET
Richard Petty to Release Signature Series Vehicle by Petty's Garage
LEVEL CROSS, NC--(Marketwire - March 11, 2010) - Petty's Garage and Arrington Performance are partnering to build a Richard Petty Signature Series line of vehicles. The power for these vehicles will be supplied by NASCAR engine builder, Joey Arrington, at his shopHEMI.com facility in Martinsville, Engine installation, performance upgrades and paint work will take place in the historic Petty shop in Level Cross, NC. Customer orders are currently being taken with production of vehicles to start in March and completed vehicles delivered in April.
"I'm excited about the Signature Series," stated "The King," Richard Petty. "Over the years I have had my name on various street vehicles, but those were all built by other companies. In those days I was too busy racing or running a race team to do this type of thing and be involved on a daily basis. But now that we have Petty's Garage up and running here in Level Cross I can build a production based, high performance street vehicle that can be a daily driver not an all out racecar."  |

| BENTLEY MULSANNE - THE ART OF COLOUR |
|
Insight into the 86-hour process used to create the ‘unlimited palette’ available for Bentley’s new flagship (Crewe, England. 12 March 2010) Exacting standards of craftsmanship and technology are employed by Bentley’s body assembly team to create the new Mulsanne’s distinctive, hand-crafted ‘hewn from solid’ appearance. But this is just a precursor to the painstaking attention to detail afforded to Bentley’s new 4-door flagship in the paint facility at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England. The new Mulsanne will be offered in no fewer than 115 ‘standard colours’ and that is just the start of the story – because, like every grand Bentley – the only real limit on the colour of the car is the customer’s imagination. Once the bare metal, pre-production Mulsanne bodyshell arrives at the paint shop via the automated overhead gantry, it passes through a series of full-immersion tanks, designed first to de-grease, then in turn to clean, condition, rinse, phosphate and passivate the steel and aluminium structure. At each tank the shell is immersed before being tipped fore and aft to ensure that every single crevice is reached. Once drained, the bodyshell is lowered into an electro-coating tank, where power is increased to 320 volts, attracting particles-in-solution which deposit on the charged, metal bodywork to form, in conjunction with the phosphate, a hard protective shell of corrosion-proof zinc primer.

| Bobby Rahal To Appear on Sunday's Wind Tunnel Show on SPEED TV |
 
HILLIARD, Ohio - The BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team is wrapping up its preparations for the 12 Hours of Sebring this week, as the team looks to get its American Le Mans Series campaign started with a strong performance in what is one of the world’s most prestigious sportscar events.
As part of the buildup to the highly-anticipated season opener, Rahal Letterman Racing co-owner and 1987 12 Hours of Sebring champion Bobby Rahal will appear Sunday on SPEED TV’s live racing show Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain to talk about the race and the BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team’s outlook on the event.
The team will run a pair of BMW M3s in the 12-hour event, with Dirk Müller, Tommy Milner, Bill Auberlen, Joey Hand, Dirk Werner and Andy Prialux sharing the driver duties. The 2010 season will be the second in ALMS competition for the BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team, and comes on the heels of a successful inaugural campaign that saw the team score a 1-2 finish at Road America, earn five other podiums and cap the year with a win in the Asian Le Mans Series event in Okayama.

| Robertson Racing gears-up for Sebring 12 Hours |
The distinctive curves of a Ford GT will once again grace Sebring’s concrete-paved test of endurance next week when Robertson Racing contest the American Le Mans Series season curtain raiser in Florida.
Although 41 years has passed since Ford’s supercar last claimed the 12 Hours laurels, the GT40 remains as synonymous with America’s most prestigious sportscar event today as it did in 1969 when Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver took the chequered flag at the wheel of their Gulf-liveried machine.
For David Robertson, team owner and driver of the Doran-built, Roush V8-powered GT that will line-up alongside 35 other hopefuls, it’s a point in history that still resonates today.
“I love Sebring and racing there, especially as it’s such an important part of motorsport history,” said David, who will partner wife Andrea and David Murry in the squad’s #40 Doran Ford GT. “I’m just thrilled to be a part of that place. I love everything about it. Your pulse quickens just pulling in knowing what’s gone on there for the past 58 years. It’s just an exciting place. It’s also neat to have the Ford connection, what with the GT40 winning there in the 1960s. You see it in the car. You look at it and can’t help but remember that great era of endurance racing.”

| Shallow Mounting Depth with Hard-Hitting Bass Makes KICKER® CompVT™ Subwoofer |
STILLWATER, USA – KICKER® introduced a true high-performance subwoofer with a reduced mounting depth a few years back, and it was met with immediate success. Who wouldn’t want a subwoofer that pounds insanely from the slimmest locations? The next generation of KICKER CompVT™ Subwoofer slides into door panels and other tight fits in 2010. Four options are available that deliver real KICKER bass and take serious power. The 12-inch CVT12 and 10-inch CVT10 easily handle 400 watts RMS (800w peak) without hesitation, and if you want to go even smaller, an 8- or 6.5-inch option hammers from the slimmest locations. Precise KICKER engineering allows the CompVT to pound with limited space. A special four-layer voice coil provides the CompVT the ability to work with serious amounts of power without the bulk. The woofer’s stiff, injection-molded, modified-spoke cone is shaped to provide maximum excursion from a slender basket, allowing the ideal amount of flex for better strength and durability.

The concert, held on the Convention Center outdoor stage, follows racing activities on Sat., April 17 and is free to race ticketholders.

| Coughlin makes quick adjustment to new NHRA rules for Pro Stock |
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (March 10) -- Jeg Coughlin Jr. has mastered the ever-changing world of NHRA Pro Stock racing four different times, winning world championships in 2000, 2002, 2007, and 2008 in his JEGS.com Chevrolet Cobalt. Armed with that experience, he took the NHRA's three new rule modifications in stride, even though teams only had two weeks to figure out the balance of their hot rods before this weekend's 41st annual Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals.
"After everything that happened in Phoenix the NHRA mandated some pretty significant changes," Coughlin said. "They increased the size of the rear wickerbill, added an air dam up front, and had us move more weight to the rear of the car. We had to go test and figure out a new balance for the car."
After two rollovers and a number of complaints about traction problems over the back half of the Phoenix track from Coughlin's fellow racers, NHRA postponed the final three rounds of eliminations of the Arizona Nationals to this Saturday's qualifying sessions. The tech department then implemented the new rules in an effort to provide the cars with more downforce and stability.

| Furniture Row Racing Feeling Upbeat About RCR Alliance, Early Results |
DENVER, Colo. (March 9, 2010) -- Joe Garone, general manager of Furniture Row Racing, said the team's new technical and engineering alliance with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has already had a positive impact.
"It's been approximately six weeks since we formed an alliance with RCR, and we can already feel a special synergy between the two organizations," said Garone. "We're being treated as a teammate of RCR's multicar operation, and it's exciting to be aligned with one of the elite NASCAR Sprint Cup organizations. With the data sharing process going both ways, it will no doubt be a valuable asset for Furniture Row Racing and RCR."
Garone added that as the alliance with RCR moves forward, the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevy, driven by Regan Smith, will be under the same chassis program as the three RCR teams of Kevin Harvick's No. 29 Shell/Pennzoil Chevrolet, Jeff Burton's No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet and Clint Bowyer's No. 33 Cheerios/Hamburger Helper Chevrolet.
Garone also wanted to clear up any confusion about Furniture Row's engine program.
"We are again running Hendrick engines," Garone said. "This is our third full season of having Hendrick horsepower under the hood of the Furniture Row Chevy."

| LaRocco evalutes GEICO Powersports Honda team at mid-season point |
TORONTO (March 10) -- The GEICO Powersports Honda riders have solidified their position as consistent frontrunners this season and enter this Saturday's Monster Energy AMA Supercross race at Rogers Centre in Toronto looking to paint the podium in team colors.
Between Supercross and Supercross Lites, GEICO Powersports Honda riders have reached the podium at eight of the nine races contested so far, and are seeking their third victory celebration of the year in Canada.
Team manager and past world champion rider Mike LaRocco is pleased with his group's efforts this season and expects better things in the weeks to come.
Veteran Kevin Windham has three podium finishes on his 450cc Honda and has led the way in multiple qualifying heats and races this year, but so far he hasn't been able to punch through for a victory.
"I love where K-Dub's at speed-wise," LaRocco said. "Some events he has 20 awesome laps in him but a slow start or maybe someone in his way during the race prevents him from getting the win. He's had other races where he starts really strong and can't quite finish.
"We all know what he's capable of. I think he just needs a win to get his belief system back up. Once he cracks it, the wins will come in bunches."
Trey Canard, who has split time between the Lites West and Supercross series, has been the most consistent rider in the GEICO Powersports Honda stable. Canard is coming off his second straight podium finish in the Supercross series filling in for injured Honda Red Bull rider Andrew Short. He also has two wins and is second in the national points in the Lites West series.
