Richard Petty Driving Experience Teams Up With Noble Financial; With Goal To Raise Funds For VJGC At Lowe's Motor Speedway

CONCORD, N.C.--Sept. 1, 2006--Noble Financial, a boutique equity research firm headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, has teamed up Richard Petty Driving Experience as part of its annual small and micro-cap equity conference at the Lowe's Motor Speedway and the Ballantyne Resort in Charlotte, NC. One of the planned events at the race-themed conference, "ONTRACK 2006", is a center-track BBQ featuring a race event in support of the Victory Junction Gang Camp. The camp, located in Randleman, NC, enriches the lives of children with serious illnesses and chronic medical conditions through horseback riding, boating, fishing and NASCAR-related programs.

Noble Financial has been working closely with The Richard Petty Driving Experience organization and has arranged to decorate an authentic NASCAR style racecar for the conference. In addition to the participating companies be represented through their logos on the car, a drawing will be held at the BBQ for the opportunity to drive the car, on a real race track, really fast. Under the lights of the Speedway, the winner will circle the track for 30 laps at up to 185mph. Since the winner of the drive-experience will likely be a novice, racing icon Richard Petty will be at the BBQ to provide driving instruction, coaching and encouragement.

"I am so excited to see this deal up close and be part of the action", says seven-time NASCAR Champion Richard Petty about the September 26-28 conference. "I think the folks at this event are in for a big thrill and we promise to deliver a fast and furious experience at the speedway."

Also attending the BBQ is Pattie Petty, Kyle Petty's wife and spokesperson for Victory Junction Gang; Bill Scott, representing Petty Enterprises, and; keynote speaker, "Humpy" Wheeler - Mr. Wheeler is President and COO of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (TRK) and President of Lowe's Motor Speedway. Humpy is recognized as NASCAR's master promoter, and has been instrumental in the meteoric success of the sport.

The three day conference has attracted close to 100 public company executive teams who represent close to 70,000 employees. More than 150 mutual fund managers and analysts will also be in attendance. "Our objective is to sponsor the highest level of quality in equity conferences", said Mark Pinvidic, Noble Financial Managing Director, "quality in terms of presenting companies, qualified investment professionals and conference facilities and events", he added. "I'm extremely impressed with the caliber of this year's presenting companies, Pinvidic said, "considering we have every room and suite at the five star Ballantyne Resort, the entire Lowe's Motor Speedway for our annual BBQ, and the full support and cooperation of the Petty organization, I think most will leave the conference that we've delivered on our objective", he said.
