NASCAR's Edwards to Race at I-80

Greenwood, NE (June 26, 2008)-Returning to I-80 Speedway, a NASCAR track he
calls home, is Sprint Cup star Carl Edwards, driver of the #99 Office Depot
Ford Fusion. Edwards will battle local drivers, including his brother Kenny,
when Your Midwest Ford Dealers present Carl Edwards night on Sunday, July
13th at the Greenwood, NE track.

"We are looking forward to having Carl at the track again this year," said
Ed Kosiski, track promoter. "He is a great supporter of local NASCAR grass
roots racing and he also enjoys being able to race against his brother."

Last year, Edwards dislocated his thumb in the early laps of the NASCAR
Super Late Model race, and the year before an early wreck also ended his
hopes of beating his younger brother on the track.

Area Ford Dealers will have $5 off day of show adult admission coupons
available, which also includes a chance for a ride in a two-seater late
model with Edwards. Three rides will be given away, and one of the lucky
fans will be chosen from the Ford entries.

Race fans can purchase advance tickets for only $15 now through June 30th at
the Omaha office, 5040 I Street or by calling (402)342-3453. After the 30th,
adult tickets are $20. Juniors 13-18 are only $5, kids 5-12 are $2 and
children under 5 are free. Gates open at 4:00 p.m., and racing action is
slated to start at 5:55 p.m.
