World Class BBQ Competition Adds Sizzle To Historic 50th Coca-Cola 600 Week

CONCORD, N.C. (May 19, 2009) - In yet another Fans First initiative, Lowe's
Motor Speedway will bring a world class barbeque competition to race fans
during Coca-Cola 600 Week.

Sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, the invitation-only
Prilosec OTCR BBQ Shootout Series will feature 14 professional teams,
honorary judges, cooking demonstrations, food sampling and total posted
awards of $15,000, with $2,500 going to the Grand Champion. Competitors will
sell varieties of barbecued chicken, pork and beef sandwiches, ribs, brisket
and sauces with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Speedway Children's
Charities and the NASCAR Foundation.

"This is an innovative new competition that includes award-winning
pit masters and barbecue teams from around the country," said Marcus Smith,
president and general manager of Lowe's Motor Speedway. "They'll compete for
the prestige and prize money of an event championship, but the real winners
will be the fans that get to taste all the food fresh off the grills this
weekend."

Competitors will sell their products starting Thursday on Windstream
Pole Night near the speedway's main entrance off Highway 29. Judging will
take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday in the Prilosec OTCR display located in
the souvenir area on Bruton Smith Boulevard. Awards will be handed out at
1:45 p.m. on Sunday preceding the Coca-Cola 600.

SPEED Channel will film the competition for national television
broadcast at a later date.

Lotta Bull BBQ from Marietta, Okla., Wood Chicks BBQ from
Chesapeake, Va., Texas Rib Rangers from Denton, Texas, and home-state
favorite Tarheel Smokers from Hertford, N.C., are among the award-winning
competitors.

Tickets are still on sale for Thursday's Windstream Pole Night,
Saturday's CARQUEST Auto Parts 300 and Sunday's historic 50th running of the
Coca-Cola 600. Fans can purchase tickets at the gates on event days or by
calling the Lowe's Motor Speedway ticket services department at

Kasey Kahne Racing Looking for Win at The Dirt Track

CONCORD, N.C. (May 14, 2009) - As defending race winner of the
NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and Coca-Cola 600, all eyes will be on Kasey
Kahne and his Budweiser Dodge this weekend and next at Lowe's Motor
Speedway. However, his Kasey Kahne Racing team will be focused on the
four-tenths-mile dirt track across the street for the World of Outlaws
Sprint Car Showdown at The Dirt Track @ Lowe's Motor Speedway on Friday, May
22.
Growing up in Enumclaw, Wash., Kahne dreamed of racing on the
half-mile clay oval in Knoxville, Iowa, in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car
Series. He dreamed of winning the most prestigious events and competing
against sprint car racing legend Steve Kinser. Dirt track racing was what he
knew.

"When we grew up, our dreams were to be World of Outlaws racers,"
Kahne's cousin Willie Kahne said. "You watch the Indy 500 and the Daytona
500 and you know that is cool, but times were different for us then.

"We never sat at home and said 'Let's go stock car racing.' We just
wanted to run Outlaws. If we could have raced against Steve Kinser, we would
have been the happiest kids in the world. Once Kasey got to stock cars, it
was icing on the cake."

And the opportunity he needed to build a team in the series where he
dreamed of racing.

With help from his sister Shanon, brother Kale and cousins Willie
and Kole, Kasey Kahne Racing hit the dirt full-time in 2006 with Joey
Saldana behind the wheel.

"Being in NASCAR and doing what I do, it gives me an opportunity to
give back to short track racing and still be involved in the World of
Outlaws," Kahne said.

Though Kahne's NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule in the No. 9 Budweiser
Dodge for Richard Petty Motorsports limits the number of sprint car races he
can attend each year and the number of hours he can dedicate to the team,
the 29-year-old owner's influence on the operation is evident.

"He's the best owner that I've had in that he's not only an owner,
but a driver, too," Saldana said. "So he can relate to what I feel in the
car. As an owner/driver, he relates feedback back to me from what he feels
in the car."

Kahne has enjoyed considerable success with his sprint car team the
last few years. For the 2009 season, the team made a few changes - adding
veteran World of Outlaws driver Craig Dollansky and switching to Maxim
chassis to go after the championship.

"For me, I knew it would be special to be part of this team," said
Dollansky. "They work real hard at their teams and they have good strong
teams and good technology. The ultimate goal is to go out and win a
championship."

Now in their fourth full season, Willie Kahne, who serves as crew
chief for Saldana, believes that time is now.

"I think we've got as good a shot as anybody to win the
championship," he said. "We've been let down and we've struggled and we've
done everything other than win a championship. We just need to go and get it
done."

After all, it's what the Kahnes dream about. It's what they know.

"It's what we are passionate about," he continued. "It's what we
love doing. It has changed. Our dreams and what we do haven't ever changed.
We just wanted to win sprint car races. Kasey has a lot of other stuff on
his plate, but we still get as big a kick out of winning a sprint car race
as anything else."
Saldana got an early start on this year's championship goal by
taking his No. 9 Budweiser to Victory Lane in one of the season-opening
races at Volusia (Fla.) Raceway Park in February. He's since followed that
up with four more A-Main wins. The wins plus six top fives and 10 top-10
finishes have Saldana ranked third in the point standings.

Dollansky is currently 38 points behind his teammate in fifth. He's
scored five top fives and 12 top-10 finishes in his No. 19 DIRECTV entry so
far this year.

As the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series invades The Dirt Track @
Lowe's Motor Speedway on Friday, May 22, both Dollansky and Saldana will be
in search of their first win at the four-tenths-mile facility.

And since the Sprint Cup Series is competing just across the street
at Lowe's Motor Speedway, team owner Kahne will get the rare opportunity to
see his teams compete.

"I always enjoy going to The Dirt Track @ Lowe's Motor Speedway,"
said Kahne. "It's not too often that we're all able to get together for a
race and with it being in Charlotte, it gives most of us the opportunity to
get over there."

Gates for the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Showdown open at 4:30 p.m.
Drivers will participate in an autograph session from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. on
the main concourse and opening ceremonies are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
FASTRAK Crate Late Models will also be in competition and more than 50 cars
are preregistered for the event. Reserved seats are just $25 for adults and
$10 for children 12 and under.

Tickets for the May 22 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Showdown can be
purchased online at www.lowesmotorspeedway.com or by calling 1-800-455-FANS.
A limited number of tickets will also be given away at the new Kasey Kahne
Racing headquarters at 265 Cayuga Drive in Mooresville, N.C., on Wednesday,
May 20, from 4 - 6 p.m. Kahne, Saldana and Dollansky will all be in
attendance.

Expanded Recycling Effort for Coca-Cola 600

CONCORD, N.C. (May 13, 2009) - Coca-Cola Recycling and
Anheuser-Busch Recycling have joined forces to help race fans support the
environment by recycling while attending the Coca-Cola 600 Month of May
races at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

The joint recycling effort is an expansion of the program
Anheuser-Busch launched at the speedway last May. Almost 5,000 pounds of
aluminum and plastic beverage containers were collected on speedway property
during the 10-day span of events that month. An increased effort in October
for the fall NASCAR races netted more than 4,000 pounds of recyclables in a
four-day period. Anheuser-Busch also supplied bins to the Lowe's Motor
Speedway offices for the staff to recycle year round.

"We're excited to partner with both Coca-Cola Recycling and
Anheuser-Busch Recycling on this environmental initiative for the two
greatest back-to-back weekends in our 50-year history next month," said
Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Lowe's Motor Speedway. "The
recycling efforts that started last year with Anheuser-Busch were very
successful and with Coca-Cola coming on board this year and growing the
program, I expect we'll have an even greater response from our fans."

This year Coca-Cola and Anheuser-Busch have partnered to provide
more than 400 recycling barrels that will be placed around the speedway's
display areas, hospitality areas, concourse, infield and suites during the
May race weeks to collect plastic and aluminum beverage containers. The
recycling program will be in place May 15 - 24 at the 1.5-mile superspeedway
for the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 (May 15); NASCAR Sprint
All-Star Race (May 16); Windstream Pole Night (May 21); the World of Outlaws
Sprint Car Showdown (May 22); CARQUEST Auto Parts 300 (May 23); and the
Coca-Cola 600 (May 24).

"Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation is proud to work with LMS for
the second year to recycle beverage containers that would normally end up in
the landfill," said Rob Thoele, region manager for Anheuser-Busch Recycling.
"Recycling is an easy thing to do and will benefit future generations."
For the Coca-Cola 600 weekend, the Coca-Cola Recycling Education
Vehicle will also be at the speedway. The 40-foot trailer features videos,
games and prizes, all designed to inform and educate fans about the value of
recycling in a fun and interactive setting.

"We're very happy to be extending our relationship with Lowe's Motor
Speedway to a program that re-directs materials away from local landfills
and into new products like bottles, shirts and other apparel," said John
Burgess, president of Coca-Cola Recycling. "When we embarked on our journey
to recover 100 percent of the packaging we produce, we knew that we would
need to work closely with our customers and consumers. This recycling
program gives NASCAR fans an opportunity to show their support for their
favorite driver and for the environment, making our 'Give it Back' message
more than just a slogan."

The recycling efforts of fans at Lowe's Motor Speedway during the
May races will be rewarded with donations made to Speedway Children's
Charities and the NASCAR Foundation.

Lowe's Motor Speedway is the home of NASCAR's biggest back-to-back
weekends with the 25th running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and 50th
Coca-Cola 600. Ticket packages and payment plan options for both events are
available through the Lowe's Motor Speedway ticket office by calling
1-800-455-FANS or online at www.lowesmotorspeedway.com.

Kasey Kahne's 2008 All-Star Race Win Voted Greatest Racing Moment in Lowe's Motor Speedway's History by the Fans

CONCORD, N.C. (May 12, 2009) - The fans have spoken again. Kasey
Kahne's win in the 2008 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, after being voted in by
the fans, was selected as the greatest racing moment in Lowe's Motor
Speedway's history.

In the final round of voting, Kahne's All-Star Race win was paired
against 1992's "One Hot Night," the first race under the lights at Lowe's
Motor Speedway when Davey Allison battled Kyle Petty for the win. Kahne won
the final round by receiving 70 percent of the fan votes.

"I've seen some pretty incredible races and finishes at Lowe's Motor
Speedway," said Kahne. "The fans got me into the All-Star Race last year and
I owe that victory to them. It's pretty cool that they've voted that moment
as the best. The speedway has a lot of history and I am proud to be a part
of it."

Other moments making it to the final four and receiving honorable
mention include the 1987 "Pass in the Grass," when Dale Earnhardt held off
Bill Elliott while holding on to his car as it slid through the infield
grass to win the All-Star Race, and the 1989 "Tide Slide," when Rusty
Wallace spun Darrell Waltrip to claim the All-Star Race victory.

Since the bracket's inception on Jan. 28, thousands of votes have
been tallied at www.coke600.com. The top moments in Lowe's Motor Speedway
history were narrowed down to 32 and condensed into short video clips that
fans could view prior to making their choice. The online selection process
paired those memorable video clips in a bracket-style voting system with new
video matchups revealed each week. The moment that received the most votes
in each bracket pairing advanced to the next round until only the top
vote-getter remained.

Lowe's Motor Speedway is the home of NASCAR's biggest back-to-back
weekends with the 25th running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and the
50th Coca-Cola 600. Ticket packages for both events are available through
the Lowe's Motor Speedway ticket office by calling 1-800-455-FANS or online
