LevelFive MOTORSPORTS RECEIVES WORLDWIDE COVERAGE FROM SCCA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WIN
Zabinski and Tucker dominate the field and make history at SCCA National Championship Runoffs

Overland Park, Kan. (October 19, 2008) - LevelFive Motorsports ended its season in the T1 class of SCCA's National Championship Runoffs with drivers Scott Tucker and Ed Zabinski claiming victories on the podium at Heartland Park Topeka.
It was in America's heartland that the No. 55 and No. 77 eData Solutions/US Bank Ferrari's crossed the finish line in an historical event. Zabinski became the first driver ever to win an SCCA National Championship in any class while driving a Ferrari.

It couldn't have been a better weekend for the LevelFive Motorsports team. With Zabinski taking the championship title and Tucker, just mere seconds behind, taking third place honors, the duo stood proudly thanking their team for a great season of commitment and dedication.
"I can't thank this team enough," Tucker stated. "We have all worked so hard. I am so proud of Ed and what he has accomplished. LevelFive Motorsports was here to win, and that's what we did."

Now a T1 class champion, Zabinski reflected on his past racing career. "Every race at Topeka, I have started in the front row. And in this National Championship, I finished in the front row. After 20 years of racing, this was my first national championship win and to make history, it's really special. I am the luckiest driver, and to be a part of this program, it's so incredible. I would like to thank the entire LevelFive Motorsports crew-everyone from the marketing arm, Scott and our families, Steve Smith, David Stone and especially our sponsors, eData Solutions and US Bank."

Since then, LevelFive Motorsports has received worldwide coverage from the historical win. Zabinski and Tucker have been featured in many online publications including business journals from around the world; Aeronoticias (Peru), Heilbronner Stimme (Germany), just-auto.com (United Kingdom), Le Groupe Autojournal (Canda), melodika.net (Bulgaria) and UBS Securities (Japan). More than 200 combined radio and television networks have shown interest in LevelFive's historic accomplishment.

NBC, CBS and ABC have had anywhere from 10,000 to 15,635,000 hits on their Web sites per day.
