CHAFFIN AND TEAM LOOKING TO REBUILD IN INDY MOORESVILLE, North Carolina (July 23, 2008) – After back to back finishes of 23rd, driver Chad Chaffin and the Key Motorsports team are looking for a breakthrough. The team will take the #40 Westerman Companies Chevrolet to battle in this weekend’s Power Stroke Diesel 200 at O’Reilly Raceway Park. With a strong history of success at O’Reilly Raceway Park, including a win, Chaffin is looking to build on this success to give the team a strong boost into the second half of the season. This weekend’s start at O’Reilly Raceway Park will be the fifth for Chaffin and third for Key Motorsports. “O’Reilly Raceway Park is a good track for me with a win there and good qualifying efforts,” states Chaffin. “I am very confident that Lane and the guys will give me the best equipment, and we are just going to go out there, build on it and go forth.” “We are definitely looking to make a huge turn around this weekend at O’Reilly,” echoes Crew Chief Lance Hooper. “While these last few weeks have been a little tough, we have definitely learned from them and look to continue developing our team.” The #40 Chevrolet team will look to continue their push this week with a special honor to sponsor Westerman Companies. In a race that was originally being sponsored by Curtis Key Plumbing, the team is sending a “thank you” to their primary sponsor by applying this additional paint scheme. “We really appreciate the help and support that Westerman continues to give,” says Hooper. “They are an integral part of our building process, and we definitely want to have a good run for them this weekend.” For more information you may visit us at www.KeyMotorsports.us or call at 704-663-1670.

KEY MOTORSPORTS TO HONOR WESTERMAN COMPANIES
MOORESVILLE, North Carolina (July 22, 2008) – Key Motorsports, Inc. owner Curtis Key is understanding of the economic hardships in which the racing industry face, specifically with sponsorship, and is therefore saying a special “thank you” to current sponsor, Westerman Companies, for their loyalty and support.
Westerman Companies will be donned on the #40 Key Motorsports Chevrolet this weekend in the Power Stroke Diesel 200 at O’Reilly Raceway Park, a race expected to be sponsored by Curtis Key Plumbing. “With the current economic situation, so many race teams are facing the hardship of acquiring and maintaining sponsorships,” states Key. “Westerman Companies and their CEO Terry McGhee have continuously shown their loyalty and support, and it truly means a lot to our entire team.” “With our team continuously growing and thriving within the sport, our sponsors have been the pulse of our success, and Westerman Companies is at the helm. This is just one of our ways of saying thank you.” The paint scheme for the Key Motorsports Chevrolet will be an exact replica of the previous Westerman Companies scheme ran in the Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway. The Westerman Companies is a leading manufacturer of equipment for the gas and oil production industry, including oil and gas separators, atmospheric storage tanks, desiccant dryers, valves and controls, and gas production units. It is a multifaceted, innovation-driven corporation whose operating components continually redefine the state of the art in their respective fields.

CHAFFIN FINISHES 23rd AT KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY MOORESVILLE, North Carolina (July 21, 2008) – An unfortunate caution diminished the hopes of a great run for Chad Chaffin and the #40 Westerman Companies Chevrolet in the Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway.
Taking a pit strategy gamble, Chaffin was poised to finish off the weekend with a great showing until the sixth caution of the race was thrown. This resulted in a 23rd finish for the #40 Westerman Companies Chevrolet, two laps down.
The 23rd place finish dropped Key Motorsports’ owner and driver standings one position each to 30th and 24th respectively. This weekend, also serving as a birthday weekend for Chaffin, had the makings of another great showing for Chaffin and Key Motorsports, Inc., but the late race misfortunes dampened the ending. “It was a disappointing finish, but the overall weekend was good,” stated Chaffin. “The pit strategy is always based on the flow of the race. Although it didn’t work in our favor, we were just sticking to our game plan. The caution was just out of our control.” “The truck was a little over adjusted at the beginning of the race, but was coming in as the race went on. We had a competitive truck this weekend, and were looking at a good top fifteen run. The caution just kind of bit us.” Crew Chief Lance Hooper agreed stating that “Overall, it was a great showing for us. We were running competitively all night, and knew we had great equipment for a good showing. You just can not control things such as cautions.” The team will continue their great run with Westerman Companies in this week’s Power Stroke Diesel 200 at O’Reilly Raceway Park.
