Stafford Motor Speedway has announced that Call
Before You Dig will return for the 2012 season as a first place SK Modified®
contingency sponsor. Call Before You Dig will also serve as a track partner
in addition to their Contingency Program sponsorship. Thanks to Call Before
You Dig’s contingency sponsorship, each SK Modified® feature winner during
the 2012 season will receive a $150 bonus. Also, Call Before You Dig will
serve as the title sponsor of the track’s Technical Inspection Zone for the
sixth consecutive season of NASCAR Whelen All American Series competition.

"We like doing business with Stafford Motor Speedway," said John Bonville
CBYD VP of Damage Prevention and Education. "We're happy to be able to
support Stafford Motor Speedway and all of the racers who put on the shows
throughout the racing season. This is a great way for us to be able to
promote our free 811 service. This is a solid venue to educate and inform
people how to find out what's below before they dig."

In addition to sponsoring the Inspection Zone and providing a weekly
contingency bonus, Call Before You Dig will maintain an advertising presence
in the Stafford Speedway PitStopper Magazine as well as a billboard display
along the track’s backstretch.

Call Before You Dig is a non-profit organization funded by public utility
companies with facilities located in Connecticut. CBYD is a free service
that provides homeowners and professional excavators a easy way to learn
just what underground utilities lie within their proposed work area.

8-1-1 is the new "Call Before You Dig" number. It was created to help
people know what's below and from unintentionally hitting underground
utility lines while working on excavation projects. Every excavation
project that disturbs the soil using mechanical equipment requires a (free)
call before you dig ticket. Even if it is a small project like planting
trees or shrubs with a hand shovel, it's a sound and safe practice to know
what’s below. If you hit an underground utility line while digging, you can
harm yourself or those around you. You may disrupt service to an entire
neighborhood and potentially be responsible for fines and repair costs.

8-1-1 is a free call to make, and calling CBYD before using mechanized
excavating equipment is the law in Connecticut. After 2 full working days
of your call, a representative from each member utility company that may be
affected by your excavation will come to your site mark the utility location
of their underground facilities with color coded paint or flags or call you
if there are no conflicts. Call Before You Dig can be found online at
www.cbyd.com for more detailed information and guidance.

The first Call Before You Dig SK Modified® contingency award will be given
out following the first SK Modified® feature event of the 2012 season, which
will be part of the 41st Annual CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler on April
27-29. Tickets for the CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler are available and
