Snap-on Driver has Three Top-Seven Finishes at Phoenix

Wins Truck Series Race; Third in Nationwide Race; Seventh in Nextel Cup Race

KENOSHA, Wis. – November 11, 2008 – To say that Snap-on NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick had a busy and successful weekend is an understatement. Racing in all three NASCAR events at the Phoenix International Speedway, Harvick captured the 150 Truck series event on Nov. 7, was third in the Hefty Odor Block 200 Nationwide series race on Nov. 8 and crossed the finish line seventh in the Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 Nextel Cup series race on Nov. 9. Overall, Harvick raced 850 miles in about 48 hours.

“Kevin had an amazing weekend and we want to congratulate him on his truck series victory as well as his great showings in the Nationwide and Nextel Cup races,” said Alicia Smales, vice president of marketing for Snap-on Tools. “We also want to congratulate , another of our Snap-on drivers, who finished second in the Nextel Cup race.”

The truck series standings remained tight as Snap-on driver Ron Hornaday finished twenty-fifth at the Phoenix truck series race but is still in second place overall in the points standings. Hornaday is only three points out of the lead heading into the season finale Nov. 14 in Miami.

The final weekend could be a big one for Snap-on drivers. Besides Hornaday trying to capture a season championship, two Snap-on NHRA dragsters, Cruz Pedregon and Jeg Coughlin, will look to capture season championships at the season-ending Southern California NHRA Finals in Pomona on Nov. 13-16.
