DRIVE THE GLEN ON APRIL 27TH AND SAVE
Track Opens for the Season and Kicks off Charitable Efforts
Watkins Glen, NY (April 16, 2008) – Opening Day at Watkins Glen International is Sunday, April 27th, and marks the LAST day race fans can save money on tickets. Fans will also have the opportunity to support NASCAR Day, this coming May 16th and drive the 3.4 mile Grand Prix course. A portion of the proceeds collected during Opening Day will be donated to a regional charity that benefits children with chronic illness. The regional charity and complete charitable giving program will be announced at a later date.
Opening Day officially opens The Glen for the highly anticipated 2008 racing season at the historic road-course. This year the track will celebrate 60 years of racing in The Glen and will welcome back the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup and NASCAR Nationwide Series during the Centurion Boats at The Glen weekend, August 7-10 and the open-wheel cars and stars of the IndyCar® Series for the Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen, July 4-6. Fans can also catch the unique and popular Daytona Prototypes and GT class of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series with the 27th Running of the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen, June 6-8.
For only $20.00 per vehicle, fans can drive legendary Watkins Glen International for three parade-style paced laps or take a spin around the Soul of American Road Racing in a 2008 Toyota Camry - the official pace vehicle of Watkins Glen International. Gates open at 9:00 am, the first cars will hit the track at 10:00 am and laps go until 4:00 pm. Motorcycles are not permitted on the track.
April 27th also marks the LAST day to purchase racing tickets for all of the events at The Glen at the advanced prices. Fans can save as much as $15.00 on race packages and $11.00 on individual tickets. Save BIG on the premium “3-Pak” offer that can save fans up to $50 on reserved grandstand seating for the Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen, July 4-6 and the Centurion Boats at The Glen NASCAR Sprint Cup and Zippo 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series races, August 7-10.
NASCAR Day has become the signature charitable event of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) Foundation, which supports a wide range of worthy causes, including: enriching the lives of chronically ill children; expanding literacy; encouraging bone marrow donation; and fighting cancer. This year it will be celebrated on May 16th but fans will be able to do their part to support NASCAR Day during Opening Day. The cornerstone of the celebration is the distribution of collectible NASCAR Day lapel pins, which fans and other supporters can obtain in exchange for a $5 donation to the NASCAR Foundation. 50% of the funds raised surrounding NASCAR Day will be used locally.
Pins are available at The Shop, located at 2 North Franklin Street in downtown Watkins Glen, NY from now until NASCAR Day. Pins will be available at Watkins Glen International, starting Sunday, April 27th, during Opening Day.
Fans can also get their companies involved by going online and signing up to be a NASCAR Day Crew Chief.

FANS CAN NOW PRINT THEIR WGI TICKETS AT HOME
FANS CAN NOW PRINT THEIR WGI TICKETS AT HOME
Print-at-Home Tickets Most Recent Example of The Glen’s Use of Technology
Watkins Glen, NY (April 10, 2008) – Fans no longer have to wait for their tickets to the Centurion Boats at The Glen weekend to come in the mail because Watkins Glen International now offers print-at-home tickets! At this time, this option is only available for grandstand tickets during the Centurion Boats at The Glen weekend, August 7-10, but other events are expected to be available in 2009. The print-at-home option is the latest addition to the list of technologies, including the WGI Fan Talk Forum, live driver chats, MySpace, Facebook, and e-newsletters that The Glen uses to enhance their fans’ online experience.
The print at home option is available for new orders and is as simple as a couple of clicks of the mouse or a request on the phone. Guests will simply need to select the print at home option when they purchase their tickets online or tell their ticket agent they would like to print at home. The ticket buyer will then receive two e-mails—one confirms the ticket sale and the other contains the print at home information. A barcode printed on the ticket will be scanned at the admission gates. Each print-at-home ticket is valid for one admission only and duplicate copies of the same barcode will not allow access.
Race fans demand more information, access, and interaction than ever before and The Glen has been proud to meet this demand through the use of technology. WGI launched the interactive WGI Fan Talk Forum in January 2007 which has provided a way for fans to openly share their opinions on racing and Glen related events, talk directly to each other through public postings or private messages, and even talk directly to WGI staff. The forum lead to the creation of the WGI Live Driver Chat series which gave fans the opportunity to do an online chat with racing stars such as NASCAR Sprint Car Series drivers Robby Gordon and Boris Said, IndyCar Series drivers Scott Dixon and Buddy Rice, and Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series drivers Hurley Haywood, Jon Fogarty and Scott Pruett. The Glen also has profiles on MySpace and Facebook so that fans on those social networking sites can come together and actually become friends of The Glen. Fans can also always count on getting the most up-to-date news about WGI with monthly e-newsletters sent directly to their email inboxes.

Dr. Frank's 2006 Dry Riesling receives ground breaking 92 Rating!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Dr. Frank's 2006 Dry Riesling receives ground breaking 92 Rating!
Hammondsport, New York – April 9, 2008 – Dr. Frank's 2006 Dry Riesling received a 92 rating in Wine & Spirits Magazine. This is the highest rating the winery has ever received! This highly decorated wine has already won 9 Gold Medals and two Best of Class Awards. The 92 rating is truly a testament to the continuous quality of Dr. Frank's Wines.
This Dry Riesling, presenting a green gold hue, displays the traditional qualities of Dr. Frank’s Riesling: crisp acidity, a pronounced mineral character and layers of fruit aromas. Descriptors include honeysuckle, apple, pear, quince and a lot of minerality resulting from the slate terroir of the vineyard. The ripeness of the grapes resulted in a great texture with a lingering fruity aftertaste.
Frederick Frank, third generation president of the winery comments, "The Dr. Frank Dry Riesling is a true champion for the Finger Lakes, receiving the highest rating for our winery and region. This will convince wine connoisseurs around the country that the Finger Lakes is the best Riesling region in the U.S."
Located on Keuka Lake a few miles north of Hammondsport, Dr. Frank’s has long been associated with the New York wine revolution. Its founder, Dr. Konstantin Frank, helped pioneer the introduction of the European vitis vinifera grapevines in the eastern United States. For his contributions in the American wine industry he was inducted into the Wine Spectator’s “Hall of Fame”. Now in its third generation, Dr. Frank's continues as New York's most award-winning winery. For more information, please contact Frederick Frank at (800) 320-0735 or visit the website at http://www.drfrankwines.com/.
