GWC TO HOLD ITS OWN "RACE AGAINST CANCER" IN 2009

OAKLAND, Maine – Green-White-Checker will make every appearance count in 2009.

In 12 years, Racing Against Cancer has raised more than $600,000 for
the American Cancer Society. This year, the motorsports Web site
www.GreenWhiteChecker.info is going to hold its own "Race Against
Cancer" at tracks across New England and beyond in an effort to combat
this horrific disease for which there still is no cure.

Green-White-Checker founder and editor Travis Barrett will donate $5
for every race day he attends in 2009. Last year, Barrett devoted a
total of 75 calendar days to covering motorsports at all levels, and
he is hopeful to eclipse that number in the coming season, beginning
next week at Daytona International Speedway and New Smyrna Speedway in
New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

"It's not much, but I know that every little bit helps," said Barrett,
who founded Green-White-Checker in early 2008 and reaches an average
of more than 3,000 readers daily. "We all know somebody who has been
affected by cancer on some level, and I really feel like this
fundraiser will give all those trips to the races this summer a little
extra meaning."

Four short tracks in northern New England have already agreed to
participate in the fundraising efforts. Promoters at Oxford Plains
Speedway, Thunder Road International Speedbowl, Unity Raceway and
Wiscasset Raceway have all agreed to either match Barrett's $5 per
race pledge or make a flat donation at season's end. More are welcome.

Race fans are also encouraged to seek Barrett out at events throughout
2009 to make their own donations to the event.

"We're really excited to be joining forces with Green-White-Checker,"
said Scott Gregory, the director of operations at Racing Against
Cancer. "We're happy that Travis approached us about the project, and
we appreciate all the support out there."

Racing Against Cancer was founded by Jon Blanchette in 1996, two years
after he lost his wife, Jodi, to the disease. He got the ball rolling
at his wife's insistence before her passing.

"It was her dream to make something good come from all she went
through," Blanchette said in the fall of 2007.
