Victorious Return To Mansfield For Ickler

Takes Mansfield 150 For Third Win Of 2008
First Win Since South Boston in May

MANSFIELD, Ohio (Aug. 23, 2008) – In the second venture for the NASCAR
Camping World Series East to the Buckeye State, Brian Ickler took the
checkered flag in the Mansfield 150 Saturday evening in Mansfield
Motorsports Park to secure his third win of 2008.

For Ickler (No. 15 Ickler Motorsports Chevrolet), who made his NASCAR
Camping World Series East debut at Mansfield a year ago and finished
11th in the race, Saturday's win was the third of his first full
season in the East. The San Diego, Calif., native added Mansfield to a
resume that also includes wins at Iowa Speedway and South Boston (Va.)
Speedway.

Ickler led six times for a total of 128 laps. He held off a late
charge from points leader Matt Kobyluck (No. 40 Mohegan Sun Resort
Chevrolet), who was going for his fourth straight victory. With the
runner-up finish, Kobyluck expanded his points lead to 176 over Jesus
Hernandez (No. 11 DEI Chevrolet), who finished fourth in the race and
moved into second place.

Peyton Sellers (No. 44 Specialty Fertilizer Products Chevrolet) came
home third in the race followed by Hernandez and Craig Goess (No. 2
Greenville Toyota/ESR Toyota). Austin Dillon, Derek Thorn, Ricky
Carmichael, Kyle Cattanach and Jeffrey Earnhardt rounded out the top
10 finishers.

Earlier in the day, Trevor Bayne won his second Coors Light Pole
Award. Bayne finished 20th.
