Clark Concepts of Charlotte, NC is owned by long-time NASCAR crew member Jeff Clark, and has produced the newest “must have” computer accessory for fans – Race Mouse. The unique wireless mouse at www.Race-Mouse.com looks exactly like the new NASCAR race car featuring detail highlights such as the front splitter and rear wing for authenticity. Race Mouse was designed by a team of experienced engineers to ensure precision, reliability and consistency in appearance and operation. Using a 27 MHz signal, Race Mouse allows users to move freely without a cable and track across computer screens with precision. The sleep mode allows users to save power when they’re not using Race Mouse; and then comes back to life with a quick scroll of the wheel. Just like a pit stop in today’s races; Clark Concepts practiced with all technological resources and implementations to produce Race Mouse before being utilized. “This has been a great and very educating experience bringing Race Mouse to life, so to speak,” said Clark. “To see something go from an idea in your head, to designed on paper and then to an actual product is amazing. We have tested this in every imaginable way to make sure our customers will really enjoy Race Mouse. “We started with our first car, the No. 88 of Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and have three other driver designs coming out very soon. We expect more teams and drivers to come on board in the near future, as well. “The people who already have Race Mouse really like it; but it is the reaction they get from co-workers and friends that has been pretty interesting. It’s not every day you see someone at their work or home computer using the new COT as their computer mouse. But, that’s why we like dealing with NASCAR fans so much because they enjoy their sport and are passionate about supporting their favorites.” Clark has two decades of experience working with NASCAR teams and drivers as an engine builder/tuner, jack and gas man. Notable drivers he’s worked with include Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Dale Jarrett and Rusty Wallace. He is currently the gas man for the No. 8 Chevrolet of Mark Martin. In addition to his racing endeavors, Clark and his brother, Brian, operate The Cycle Xchange, a custom motorcycle business in Matthews, NC. ____________________________________________________________ New Jersey Motorsports Park Season Passes....Available NOW!

MONSTER RACING HOLD RACING EVENT AT "THE FRANKLIN"
August 7, 2008
Monster Racing Excitement took great pleasure in working with “The Franklin”
BRAD COLEMAN REPLACES J.J. YELEY IN #96 HALLOF FAME RACING ENTRY
August 7, 2008
Hall of Fame Racing officials announced Wednesday that NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Brad Coleman, who has been under contract as a test driver for Hall of Fame Racing since November 2007, will make his Sprint Cup Series debut by piloting the No. 96 DLP HDTV Toyota Camry in the Aug. 17 3M Performance 400 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.
Coleman will replace J.J. Yeley who has been released by the team.
Road racing veteran P.J. Jones will drive the No. 96 DLP HDTV Toyota in the Sprint Cup race this weekend at the Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International road course.
“J.J. is a talented race car driver and a great person and this was a difficult decision to make,” said Tom Garfinkel, co-owner of Hall of Fame Racing. “We all share responsibility that our performance hasn’t been what it needs to be but we concluded it was time to make a change. This is a performance-based industry and we need to perform better. We’re confident J.J. will be successful in this sport in whatever his next challenge is.”
The 20-year-old Coleman has 42 Nationwide Series starts, compiling three top-fives and five top-10 finishes in his first 15 races with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2007. That same year he also won his first career Nationwide Series pole in April at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and scored his best Nationwide Series result in June when he finished second at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta. This year Coleman ranks 16th in the Nationwide Series driving full time for Baker Curb Racing out of Nashville.
“I really appreciate Jeff Moorad (co-owner of Hall of Fame Racing) and Tom for giving me this opportunity,” said Coleman, a native of Houston who now resides in Charlotte. “I have really enjoyed my time testing with the people on the team and I’m looking forward to having a successful weekend at Michigan in the DLP HDTV Toyota and helping Hall of Fame Racing finish out the season as strong as possible. It is truly an honor to be a part of this organization.”
In addition to his experience in the Nationwide Series, Coleman also has nine starts in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, with eight top-five finishes, three poles and a win at Kentucky Speedway, all of which came in 2006. While running in the Rolex Grand American Series in 2005, Coleman’s cross-training approach to development provided him the opportunity to compete in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series. He finished fourth in the track championship at Ace Speedway in Altamahaw, N.C., while earning the most points of any rookie driver that season.
At age 16, Coleman teamed with fellow 16-year-olds Colin Braun and Adrian Carrio to form Team16 to finish seventh in the GT class at the prestigious 24 Hours At Daytona on the 3.56-mile, 12-turn road course at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. In doing so, the trio set a Rolex Grand American record by becoming the youngest drivers ever to compete in the race.
Coleman’s racing career began when he was 12 after being discovered at a Houston-area indoor karting center by Price Cobb, the veteran racer who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1990 with co-drivers John Nielson and Martin Brundle. While working as a crew member on Cobbs’ Toyota Atlantic team, Coleman began his career in karting by competing in 64 races across the county. In his first and only year of karting he would go on to win 42% of his races and podium in 65%. His success earned him an opportunity to become the youngest American driver to receive a professional open wheel license at the age of 14 and advance to such open-wheel divisions as the Fran-Am 1600 Series and the Star Mazda Championship Series before turning his attention to stock cars in 2005.

Dedication ceremony fit for “The King”: Richard Petty to be honored with a marquee plaque on the Monster Monument on Sept. 20, 2008
On July 6, 1969, Richard Petty took the first checkered flag at a new, high-banked racetrack in Dover, Del. Piloting his No. 43 Ford, Petty started the race in the third position and went on to lead 150 of 300 laps en route to a dominating win in the inaugural Mason-Dixon 300.
40 years, and seven Dover International Speedway wins later, Petty will be honored with a marquee plaque on the Monster Monument at Victory Plaza, presented by AAA, on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2008 at Dover International Speedway. The 46-foot monument was unveiled in May 2008 and created a new focal point for race fans visiting the concrete, one-mile oval.
Petty joins Bobby Allison as the only drivers honored with a marquee plaque on the monument, located outside of Turn 4 at the Speedway. The special four-foot high granite plaque will be mounted on the monument’s base and will include Petty’s career and Dover highlights and an engraved image of the driver, in a section reserved for retired drivers who’ve established their legacy at the Monster Mile.
A dedication ceremony for Petty is scheduled to begin at 1p.m. near the monument, and fans are invited to watch a special question-and-answer session hosted by NASCAR on Fox’s Mike Joy and Dover President & CEO Denis McGlynn. The ceremony is part of several attractions planned to celebrate Dover's 40th anniversary season during the Sept. 19-21, 2008 race weekend. Free fan additions include strolling entertainment, live music, the Aqua String Mummers band, free autograph sessions and more.
Petty will also participate in a free autograph session for race ticket holders following the ceremony at 2 p.m. near the monument. Autographs will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The undisputed king of stock-car racing, with 200 career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins, notched his 199th win of his career at Dover on May 20, 1984. This achievement set him up for career win No. 200 at Daytona just weeks later.
Petty won seven NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championships during his 35-year career spanning from 1958 to 1992 and ranks first in a variety of NASCAR records including: all-time wins (200), races started (1,184), top-five finishes (555), top-10 finishes (712), pole positions (126), laps completed (307,836), laps led (52,194), races led (599) and consecutive races won (10).
On Sept. 20 at Dover, Petty will have his legacy enshrined on the Monster Monument at Victory Plaza, presented by AAA – another supreme accomplishment by a member of NASCAR royalty.
“The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup” returns to the Monster Mile Sept. 19 – 21, 2008. For more information, or to purchase tickets, call 800-441-RACE or visit DoverSpeedway.com.

Bickle To Challenge To NASCAR Stars Kenseth, Stewart, Busch At Madison on Tuesday
June 23, 2008
After months of working double shift days to establish his latest business venture, Rich Bickle is finally going to get back to what he really enjoys doing - driving a race car.
The Wisconsin short track ace and 15-year NASCAR veteran has entered Tuesday's Madison International Speedway All Star Challenge - an event that will feature a full field of the midwest's super late model stock cars and drivers - along with NASCAR Sprint Cup stars Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch.
"I used to be the big draw for these kind of races back when I was in Cup, but now I guess I'm just a field filler," joked Bickle from his office at Muscle Up Performance and Hot Rod Shop in Janesville, WI. "With Matt, Tony and Kyle coming up, it's going to be a big deal and I'd like nothing better than to go up there and kick their butts. We've got a good car and hopefully, she'll run the way we want it to the whole race. I think we'll be able to be right there racing them for the win. I'm looking forward to it."

Coleman Set For Repeat at Kentucky
Near win in 2007 has driver optimistic about upcoming race
When the thought of Kentucky Speedway crosses his mind, Brad Coleman just smiles. His time spent on the 1.5 mile track has produced some memorable moments in his racing career and he has never finished less than second in his three races in the Bluegrass State.
The smile on his face is no surprise to folks who know the young Coleman. He almost won the Kentucky Nationwide race last year, finishing a close second in just his fourth series attempt.
“We were well out front and had the race won when two yellows came out near the end,” stated Coleman. “Stephen’s (Leicht) car was better on the short runs and he was able to pass me at the end for the win. I have wanted to return to Kentucky ever since that checkered flag fell.”
He also notched his first ARCA win here in 2006 with Shawn Parker, his current crew chief. He held off nine-time ARCA Champion Frank Kimmel in a double green-white-checker restart for his first big stock car win and introduced the NASCAR world to the “Brad Coleman Bow” which became part of his signature post-race victory celebration.
“I’ve had good success here in the past and I remember how close I came to winning last year,” said Coleman. “I am hungry for that first win and know I am capable of getting it at Kentucky. The crew back in Nashville has put in a lot of extra work into the No. 27 Cottonelle Ford to get it ready for this weekend and it’s time to hit the ground running.”
Parker knows his driver can win at this track.
“Brad and Kentucky are a good combination,” said Parker. “We have been to Victory Lane together at that track and I know he feels confident in each and every turn. That can only translate into more success.”
So, when his No. 27 Cottonelle Ford begins its trip northwest from Nashville this weekend, a grin slowly will begin to form on Coleman’s face as he looks forward to the race. The team will be in action in the Meijer 300 on Saturday night on ESPN2.

If you would like to see your race team's information on Girls Garage, please contact Kim Carlino by clicking on her name in the box above this message. We will be more than happy to post your information! Brad Coleman knew he was taking the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation to new heights by having them featured on his No. 27 Carino’s Italian Grill Ford Fusion this weekend in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen, but he didn’t know exactly how high it would be. “We were coming to the green on lap 15 and as I was going through the gears getting up to speed, I saw the two cars in front of me split to either side,” Coleman commented. “Before I could blink I was 10 feet in the air and seeing nothing but the blue sky. I instantly felt disappointment for potentially ruining a chance to raise awareness for Lupus, but with the quick work from my crew, we were able to race to a hard-earned top 10. My crew guys helped me earn this one by thinking quick on their feet and getting me back in the race.” Chris Paradysz, board member for the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation and father of a daughter with Lupus, was on hand to help Brad spread the word about America’s least recognized disease and to take in the action on the track. “What an amazing day for Lupus and Brad Coleman’s career,” Paradysz expressed. “My daughter and I met many people touched by Lupus today. People in the NASCAR world, people outside of it, standing at the fence chatting it up with the drivers and even with sponsors like us. For those of you out there today, thank you, thank you! You inspired my daughter, son and me all day so we could take the Lupus message to a bigger audience.” “Brad had a wonderful run, even after getting popped into the air and being blinded by a piece of tape used to repair the damage he was able to bring it back to the front. I am pleased he was able to manage the twists and turns of Watkins Glen even with the challenges. Kind of like Lupus…one lap at a time! Not even the “Life without Lupus” logos had a scratch on them!” During the race Shawn Parker, Coleman’s crew chief announced he would be leaving the team effective immediately after the race. "It's tough to see Shawn go but he did what he needed to do," said Coleman. "He is a top-notch crew chief and individual of integrity. I will miss him greatly." “Sponsorship of the Camping World RV 400 Sprint Cup race and the year-round partnership with Dover International Speedway compliments our growing NASCAR program,” said Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World. “The Dover fan base includes one of the largest weekend RV communities on the circuit and we are looking forward to helping enhance their weekend camping and racing experience.” “This sponsorship program will assist us in introducing our brand to the outdoor enthusiasts in the area which is important to us as our future plans include opening a permanent Camping World store in close proximity to the Speedway,” added Lemonis. Dover’s partnership with Camping World includes the addition of a 6,400 sq. foot store in the newly developed FanZone display area at the Speedway on race weekend. The new store will feature a variety of products and services also offered at over 100 Camping World retail locations across the country. “Through its extensive involvement in NASCAR, Camping World has become one of the premier companies in the sport today,” said Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “We’re excited about this new partnership and the added benefits it provides race fans at the track on race weekend. Dover is known to be a popular destination for RV travelers on the NASCAR circuit and Camping World will provide convenient access like never before.” NASCAR returns to Dover International Speedway this September for three days of championship-fueled action including the Sept. 21, 2008 “Camping World RV 400” NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, Sept. 20, 2008 “RoadLoans.com 200” NASCAR Nationwide Series race, and the Sept. 19, 2008 “Sunoco 150” NASCAR Camping World Series race.
