Mooresville, NC - April 9, 2007

Team owner, and veteran NASCAR competitor, Jeff Spraker has announced that California "young gun" Kyle Cattanach will be behind the wheel of the #37 Spraker Racing Monte Carlo for the season-opening NASCAR Camping World East Series event at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on April 19th.

Kyle brings an impressive set of credentials to the East Series, having posted a 4th place finish at Altamont Motorsports Park, in one of his three West Series appearances in 2007. The talented 23 year old has accumulated 22 wins in 77 career starts in both Late Model and ASA Truck Series events on the west coast. States Kyle: "I am looking forward to the opportunity, to take this next step in my career- I was very comfortable in the car during our test session , and know that I will have proven equipment from the Spraker team." Supporting the West Coast driver in his inaugural NASCAR Camping World East Series race will be sponsors Dan Gamel RV Centers and Pepperjack Kennels.

The Spraker NASCAR East Series team posted a top-ten finish at the historic Greenville-Pickens facility in 2007 and is hoping to capitalize on their past experience at this track. Comments owner, Jeff Spraker: "Kyle has a strong short-track background and this place should be a perfect match for that experience. We hope to work with Kyle at other East Series events in 2008 - having run this entire schedule last year, we feel that Spraker Racing can offer a genuine opportunity for Kyle to showcase his talent here on the east coast"

Spraker Racing Enterprises, Inc., based in Mooresville, NC, is a full-service racing operation and currently fields teams in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, and the NASCAR Whelan All-American Series, in addition to the NASCAR Camping World East Series. Kyle will join Spraker team drivers Dexter Bean, 21, of Westby, WI, and Alex Kennedy, of Aztec, New Mexico. Dexter, who was third in ARCA Series points in 2007, is running the full ARCA schedule in 2008 in the GLOCK, Inc. sponsored Chevrolets out of the Spraker stable; and 16 year-old Alex, joins the team for 2008 and runs selected events in the NASCAR Whelan All-American Series at Caraway Speedway. Jeff Spraker has been an owner, driver, and consultant for over 25 years, having incorporated his initial operation in upstate New York, in 1979. He has established a strong reputation in the development of young driving talent, utilizing a driver's perspective for coaching coupled with years of "hands on" technical experience.

Dexter Bean, piloting the Team GLOCK Chevrolet, posted the second fasted time in the ARCA open test in Rockingham, NC on Friday, March 21st. Over 40 cars took time at the venerable mile track which is so rich in NASCAR racing heritage. Spraker Racing prepared two cars for the test session, and at the conclusion of the first day, the team cars were listed as second and fifth, with a fast lap of 142.141 mph.

Team owner Jeff Spraker, who has been a competitior himself on this track, was pleased with the overall test performance. States Spraker: "We accomplished a great deal at this test which will be valuable in setting up our cars for the May 4th race. Both of the cars ran very well - our biggest concern with the this track is tire wear. We spent a great deal of time on Saturday determining how to manage that for the race in May. Dexter did a great job on the track and gained some valuable experience. This test session gave Dexter the confidence that every car he gets in, that this teams prepares, will be competitive."

Driver Bean commented: "To me, this track is a lot like Salem - just a little bigger, that's all. The place is bumpy; it's a handful just like Salem, but what a fun place to drive This is definitely my kind of track. You have to drive the car all the way around and stay on top of the wheel. We brought two cars, and both worked so well, that now we're wondering which one we're going to use! This is a very cool track, and I can't wait for the race."

The Rockingham track, which has not seen racing competition since 2004, will host the ARCA RE/MAX Series with the running of the Carolina 500 on May 4th. The event will be televised live on SPEED Channel at noon, and is scheduled to start 50 cars on the one-mile oval.

After an extremely competitive run at the season opening event in Daytona, which was foiled by a transmission issue, Team GLOCK is looking forward to the next scheduled ARCA RE/MAX Series event in Salem, IN on April 13th. Prior to that race, the team will be testing at the Salem track where Dexter has posted two runner-up finishes in the past.
