TRACK OWNER JAMES ADDRESSES LARGE CROWD AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY MEETING

BRIDGEPORT, NJ (March 8, 2010) A crowd of nearly 200 individuals assembled at the Holiday
Inn in Swedesboro, NJ on Sunday, March 7th to pick up important documents including rules
and hear track owner Jay James speak about the new season.

After thanking the crowd for taking time out of their schedule to attend the meeting,
James spoke about a variety of topics including some changes for 2010. The major
adjustment is going from a four division program to a three division show with the
combination of the Crate-1 and Crate-2 cars into a Crate Modified class. “Fans told us
our shows were too long,” declared James. “Going to a three division show will decrease
the length of a show.” Also, James spoke about a consistent and fair method of enforcing
the rules for 2010. For the upcoming season, each division will have a representative
that will approach management with any issues. The drivers and owners present at the
meeting were asked to vote on one person to become a spokesman for their division. After
paying out nearly $50,000 in 2009 point fund monies, James stated that the goal for 2010
is $100,000. In addition, James informed Bridgeport Speedway Big Block Modified drivers
about the new American Racer East Coast Modified Cup which will be officially unveiled in
Syracuse, NY on March 13th.

The first laps of the 2010 season at Bridgeport Speedway will take place at the end of
the month. On Saturday, March 27th at 1:00 PM, a practice session will take place on the
big 5/8th mile track with the pit gates opening at 9:00 AM. A test and tune session for
quarter mile competitors is on tap for Sunday, March 28th at 1:00 PM with the pit gates
opening at 10:00 AM. If foul weather should occur on Saturday, March 27th, practice will
take place for both ovals on Sunday, March 28th.

Bridgeport Speedway provides a safe and secure family atmosphere, free parking, giveaways
and fan participation games. Billed ‘The Fastest Dirt Track in the East’, Bridgeport
Speedway is a banked 5/8th mile dirt oval, featuring a dirt 1/4 mile oval embedded in the
center, and is located in Southern New Jersey -- just minutes from Pennsylvania and
Delaware at exit 14 off of I-295.
