Dale Earnhardt Jr. Announces the Official Launch of Infield Parking

New Social-Networking Site to Connect Race Fans and Drivers

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 16 -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced today the official launch of Infield Parking, a new social-networking Web site designed for NASCAR's more than 75 million race fans. Infield Parking leverages the power of social networking to bring together fans of all drivers eager to share their passion for the sport. It creates a central place on the Internet where people can interact with fellow racing fans, drivers, and spark their own discussions & conversations about racing. Users can create a personal profile (Infield Parking Space), blogs, exchange messages, post photos, videos, podcasts and video clips, and interact with their favorite drivers. Fans can register online at http://www.infieldparking.com/ or visit the Sharpie Racing booth this weekend at Daytona International Speedway, and at tracks throughout the season.

"Infield Parking offers fans a cool new way to interact with drivers and the opportunity to connect with other fans around the world," said Earnhardt Jr., president of Infield Parking. "During the season fans get to watch us race and see us at the track, but Infield Parking will give them a more personal level of access to the drivers and other fans through photos, blogs and video clips. "We came up with the idea for Infield Parking last year and it's pretty cool to see everything come together as we launch it nationally. With today's launch, I can't wait to see the fan response."

Infield Parking is launching in concert with the start of the racing season. Nine drivers will be launching Infield Parking web pages this weekend in addition to Earnhardt Jr. They are Bobby Labonte, Dale Jarrett, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart, Elliott Sadler, Jamie McMurray, Denny Hamlin and Shane Huffman. Many other NASCAR drivers will be launching pages of their own in the coming weeks.
