Showdown Champion Helps Extreme Makeover In Connecticut

Showdown Champion Helps Extreme Makeover In Connecticut

The Kobyluck Companies To Be Featured On "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition" February 8th

Waterford, Conn. (January 30, 2009): The Kobyluck
Companies, a family of businesses dedicated to providing quality
concrete, construction aggregate, site development and trucking
services to residential and commercial builders in southeastern
Connecticut, announced today that it will be featured on an upcoming
episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as the providers of the
demolition, site work, and concrete for the Girard Family home in
Voluntown, Conn.

The Girard family lost their home to a fire a year ago.
The Girards moved from a tent to a tiny camper then to their mother's
house, which is almost 40 miles away from where the children go to
school. Shortly afterwards the Girard's faced a double tragedy when
husband Thomas and their eldest son Marc drowned.

"I'm proud that our companies and employees can make a
difference in the life of this family," said President, Matt Kobyluck,
who recently won NASCAR's biggest short track race of the year at
Toyota Speedway at Irwindale (Calif). "I believe strongly that we
should all help out where we can in our community. The guys here
volunteered their time to come and do the work – sometimes spending
more than 24 hours here without any sleep. My father, Dan, even
canceled a trip to Florida so that he could be a part of it. It's
amazing what was accomplished in such a short time. I never thought it
could be possible."

The Kobyluck Companies, which is owned and operated by
brothers Matt, Mark, Chris, and Josh Kobyluck and their parents Dan
and Maureen Kobyluck, joined local builder Home Designs by Bruno and
hundreds of volunteers and workers to build a castle-themed house
complete with solar panels and a geothermal heating and water system.
The house is one of only a handful in the state of Connecticut to be
certified as green.

The Kobyluck Companies crew endured severe weather
conditions, including near-zero degree temperatures and torrential
downpours that made portions of the area a huge mud pit.

"We brought down some gravel to make some of the muddy
areas a little more passable, but it was pretty challenging conditions
to work in," said Kobyluck. "I hope that they show what these workers
endured during the week-long process. I think everyone here at the
Kobyluck Companies took a great deal away from this experience. Being
a part of it really brought out the best in everyone."

Matt Kobyluck, the 2008 NASCAR Camping World Series East
Champion, won the Toyota All-Star Showdown in a wild three-car battle
on the last lap of the race. His win, which was nationally televised
on SPEED Channel, was the first time a driver has ever repeated a
victory in what has been dubbed short track's Daytona 500. Rib Hillis,
one of the designers from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition attended the
event as Kobyluck's guest.

The Girard Family episode airs on ABC Sunday, February 8 at 8 pm ET.

All-Star Showdown Proves To Be Tough Night For Schrader Racing

All-Star Showdown Proves To Be Tough Night For Schrader Racing

Irwindale, Calif. (January 26, 2009): The All-Star
Showdown held at the Toyota Speedway of Irwindale proved to be a
disappointing night for the Ken Schrader Racing trio of Ricky
Carmichael, Jamie Hayes, and Dakoda Armstrong. Carmichael and Hayes
fell out of the race due to accidents and finished 34th and 37th
respectively. Armstrong was unable to start the feature event after
failing to qualify through time trials or the open race.

Rain halted all but a 45-minute practice session Friday
and postponed qualifying until Saturday morning, however, more rain
pushed the schedule back and teams were forced to time trial without
any further practice Saturday afternoon.

Armstrong's lap of 19.089 seconds was not enough to get in
the field on his time alone, and he was forced to start the open race,
which gave the winner a starting position in the field. Armstrong went
a lap down in the 50-lap race, but gained some valuable seat time
behind the wheel of a full-fendered stock car.

"We only got five laps of practice so I turned pretty much
all of my laps in that race. The last couple of laps we got better and
better. It was a neat experience and I have to thank Ken Schrader for
giving me the opportunity to race in these cars," said Armstrong.

Hayes started the Showdown from the 31st position while
Carmichael started 29th. Eight laps into the event, Hayes got caught
up in a three-car accident in turns three and four. The damage was too
extensive to continue the race, and the team parked the J.L. Hendrick
Auto Chevrolet for the night.

"It is what it is, but we broke the lower control arm and
there was a small hole in the radiator," explained Hayes. "We would
have been laps down before we got it fixed and would have been out
there risking the equipment. This isn't a points race so we cut our
losses and parked it for the day rather than go out there and try to
gain one or two spots."

Carmichael, on the other hand, seemed to have the most
promising run going for him at the conclusion of the first segment.
The No. 4 Monster Energy Drink Chevrolet did go a lap down prior to
the break, but Carmichael was the receipient of the beneficiary award,
which gave him his lap back prior to the green flag.

On lap 142, Carmichael became a victim of circumstance
when he got collected in an accident that occurred when Ron Hornaday
and Brian Ickler got together. He, too, was done for the night.

"It was just a crappy weekend for me. We missed the set up
in practice and I didn't qualify well. Right there put me in a bad
position. I started getting up there (through the field) and I got
tangled up in a caution and got hit. It was a downhill slide from that
point," explained Carmichael. "We started off in a bad position and
didn't do anything with it really."

Kobyluck The First To Make It Two - Earns Second Toyota All-Star Showdown title

Kobyluck The First To Make It Two - Earns Second Toyota All-Star Showdown title

IRWINDALE, Calif. - Matt Kobyluck emerged from a wild three-way battle
for first Saturday night to became the first driver to win two NASCAR
Toyota All-Star Showdown.

Joey Logano slid up into Peyton Sellers while going for the lead in
Turn 4 coming to the checkered flag. Kobyluck, who was running third,
came across the start-finish line a nose behind Logano. Logano was
penalized for his move, though, giving Kobyluck a second NASCAR Toyota
All-Star Showdown to go with the one he won in 2006.

Trevor Bayne wound up second, followed by Jason Bowles. Logano finished 40th.

"I saw it coming," Kobyluck said. "So I laid up a little, got on the
brakes and cut to the bottom so that I could miss it all.

"The writing was on the wall. I've been here and doing this enough to
know what the outcome was going to be one way or the other. I just
didn't want to get caught up in it."

Johnny Borneman and Matt Crafton rounded out the top five.

Kobyluck's win in the 2006 event also featured a three-car,
side-by-side skirmish for the win. In that one, it was Eric Holmes
that went spinning while Kobyluck held off Sean Caisse for the win.

Kobyluck won his first NASCAR Camping World Series East championship in 2008.

This was the first year the event - which has earned the title the
'Daytona 500 of short-track racing' - was held in January after the
first five were held in the fall.

Chris Johnson won the Coors Light Pole Award, while Andrew Myers won
the 50-lap 'Last Chance' race.

Mike Johnson won the Late Model race; Travis Thirkettle won the Super
Late Model race.
