H&H Motorsports Announces New Additions


As the H&H Motorsports era gets underway at the Tri-City Speedway, new speedway
owners Rich Hetrick and Roy Hill are please to announce the addition of Marketing
Director Kristen Edelmann to the speedway staff. "We are very excited to welcome
Kristen to the Tri-City and Hetrick Families for the 2009 racing season. She will
work very closely with the marketing partners at the speedway as H&H Motorsports
begins their inaugural season," stated Hetrick.

Edelmann is a native of Rocky Grove, PA and currently lives in Oil City. In
addition, Edelmann recently graduated from Clarion University with a degree in Mass
Media Arts, Journalism and Communication Studies. "Although it has been several
years since I have attended a short track auto racing event I am looking forward to
working with the fans, drivers, car owners and marketing partners at the speedway, "
stated Edelmann. "Myself and everyone at H&H Motorsports encourage the business
owners in the Franklin/Oil City area to include a marketing partnership with
Tri-City Speedway as part of their marketing strategy for 2009. Our marketing
packages are affordable and will showcase area firms before several thousand
consumers each week. In addition, Tri-City's marketing partnerships include
additional print and internet exposure that will provide area businesses with a
presence that continues beyond the confines of the Speedway itself," continued
Edelmann.

H&H Motorsports has also announced that Marcie Barlow will assume the Public
Relations duties at the firm. Barlow will succeed Brian Spaid, who will continue as
Tri-City's Roving Announcer. Barlow, who is a graduate of Thiel College, has
served as a scorer at the Franklin, PA oval for the past five years. "I am looking
forward beginning a new chapter in my professional career at Tri-City Speedway.
Rich and Roy have a very aggressive business plan for the speedway and I am honored
to be a part of their Tri-City family," stated Barlow. "The 2009 schedule will be
finalized very shortly and I look forward to working with the members of the media,
the car owners and drivers and especially the race fans to make Tri-City Speedway
the region's top Sunday night race track," stated Barlow.

Barlow plans to launch an e-newsletter for the Speedway in the next few weeks. Any
fans, drivers or media representatives that would like to be included in the mailing
are asked to send an e-mail to sprintcarfan@zoominternet.net as the new Tri-City
Speedway employee e-mail addresses have not yet been finalized.

Hetrick and Hill will make their first public appearance as Tri-City's new owners at
the upcoming Cranberry Mall Show in Cranberry, Pa., which is scheduled March 5-8.
