ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (December 28, 2009) –  Dave Moody, host of "SIRIUS  
Speedway" on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio 128 and lead turn announcer for MRN's  
NASCAR race broadcasts, has been named as the official starter of the  
Polar Bear 150 at Rockingham Speedway. Moody will wave the green flag  
at the New Year's Day event, officially starting the first race of 2010.

The 2nd Annual Polar Bear 150, which will be held at noon January 1,  
will be a chance for race fans to celebrate the beginning of the 2010  
racing season with competitive racing by the Frank Kimmel Street Stock  
Nationals Series. The entry list, which already has 71 registrants,  
includes a combination of NASCAR drivers and crew members, drivers  
from the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards, and  
previous Rockingham winners from the Frank Kimmel Street Stock  
Nationals Series.

Speedway owner, Andy Hillenburg, personally chose Moody to give the  
green for the second annual running of the race. Moody, who has been a  
regular on MRN Radio since 1998, is looking forward to performing his  
official starter duties. “The Polar Bear 150 is grassroots racing at  
its best, and I'm proud to be a part of it,” said Moody. “I just hope  
I don't drop the flag.”

The 2nd annual Polar Bear 150 kicks off on Thursday, December 31,  
2009. Gates open at 8:00 AM and practice sessions take place from  
1:00-1:45 PM and 3:00-3:45 PM.

European-style qualifying will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, January  
1, 2010, and the green flag will drop at 12:00 PM. A driver autograph  
session, which will include the starting lineup as well as Moody,  
Firestone Indy Lights driver Leilani Münter, and some all-star  
surprises, will take place at the frontstretch fence between the  
conclusion of qualifying and driver introductions.
