Las Vegas LiVe Tournament Is a

Safe Bet For Race Fans

CHARLOTTE, NC (January 11, 2008) – Victory Lane Players Club (www.VLPClub.net) announced today that twenty-five winners and their guest will have a chance to win access to attend the upcoming race in Las Vegas on March 2, 2008 in VIP fashion. The VLP Club LiVe Tournament package includes race day tickets, hospitality passes, driver Q & A’s, pit tours, apparel and more. All race fans have to do is login to VLPClub.net and register for the 8 pm nightly giveaway.

“This is one of the coolest sites that I’ve seen for the fans,” said VLP Club driver Tony Stewart. “I’ve been playing poker online for years and have a lot of experience on other websites, but there is nothing like this out there from a fan experience standpoint. This is the best online game available to race fans and poker players.”

Race fans can log onto VLPClub.net to join the action and begin enjoying the ultimate interactive online experience available for race fans. All games are free to play, and VLP Club offers exclusive daily tournaments, including tournaments against the racing superstars, one-of-a kind autographed merchandise, fantasy experiences and endless hours of fun. No money can be wagered or lost on the site.

“I’ve played in a number of tournaments against the fans since we launched,” said Dale Jarrett, the first VLP Club driver to notch a tournament win on the site. “The coolest thing about the tournaments is the chat feature, there’s no other site that you can play poker and talk NASCAR at the same time.”

Jarrett continued, “The great thing about online poker is that it’s not as intimidating as going to a casino and sitting across the table from someone who’s been playing their whole life. With VLP Club there’s no risk of losing money so it’s become a great place for players that want to gain experience while they play against us and play to win some great prizes.”

The combination of racing and poker shouldn’t be too surprising. Since 2000, both have seen a huge growth spurt, with national television audiences, growing fan bases and thousands of online sites for racing and poker fans.

“The poker world changed with the advent of online gaming and the amount of TV exposure its received on ESPN,” stated VLP Club CEO Bruce McMeikan. “We are happy that we’ve been able to bridge the gap between race fans and people who enjoy playing Texas Hold ‘Em. We have plans in the works to giveaway exclusive prizes in 2008, including a VIP pass to Eldora Speedway for Stewart’s Prelude to the Dream in June, a day at the golf course with Dale Jarrett, and an invite to Elliott Sadler’s Barn just to name a few.”

McMeikan also commented on the huge female fan following the site has enjoyed. “We have been surprised to see that almost 50 percent of our most frequent users are women. We’ve found that they like the ability to play from their home in a more relaxed environment, and having the likes of Dale Jr. and Kasey Kahne on the site doesn’t hurt either.”

The Spring Fever Tournament Series launches Monday, January 28th on VLPClub.net. Race fans will have the opportunity to win Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure packages, Autographed Driving Gloves, Miniature Hoods, Autographed Helmets, Leather Jackets, Autographed Driving Suits and more. Tournaments are scheduled to begin every 10 minutes!
