Kyle Busch Returning to Oxford Plains in 2011

OXFORD, Maine (April 20, 2011) - Kyle Busch made quite an impression in his
first two TD Bank 250 attempts.

In 2005, he led the race twice for a total of 61 laps. In 2006, Busch looked
poised to win the event when his motor expired while leading the event.

Kyle is coming back and will be looking for a victory in 2011.

Today, Oxford Plains Speedway and Kyle Busch Motorsports announced that Kyle
has entered the TD Bank 250 on July 24 and the Brackett Mechanical/RB
Performance PASS 150 on July 23. New England racing fans will have two
chances to see Busch compete against the region's best competitors.

"It's no secret that I love to race, so I'll be spending my weekend off from
the Sprint Cup Series in July running the late model races at Oxford Plains
Speedway," said Busch. "The track is a lot of fun to drive. It's very flat,
the corners are very round and the straightaway's aren't very long. Bill
Ryan and his staff treated me excellent during my first two trips to Oxford
and the fans there are great. I had one of the fastest cars and led a bunch
of laps both years I ran the TD Bank 250 for Steve Perry and SP2
Motorsports, but we weren't able to seal the deal. This year we decided to
bring our own KBM Toyota Camry's. Hopefully, the third time will be the
charm."

"Kyle is a great racer no matter what kind of car he is in," Oxford Plains
Speedway Owner Bill Ryan said. "Our fans loved seeing Kyle race in the TD
Bank 250 in 2005 and 2006 and now will have another chance to see him try
and win in 2011. Making things even more exciting this year is the fact
that Kyle is racing in the PASS race on Saturday night. He will be a threat
to win in both events," Ryan added.

Since 2004, TD Bank 250 fans have been treated to seeing NASCAR's elite
compete against the region's best short track pilots. In addition to Kyle
Busch, fans have seen Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, JJ Yeley,
Ricky Craven, Kevin Lepage, Terry Labonte, Kevin Harvick, Kenny Wallace,
Steve Wallace and Brad Keselowski try to win the TD Bank 250. Only Harvick
has been able to take the checkers, doing so in 2007.

In 2011, the TD Bank 250 weekend will consist of three nights of exciting
racing. On Friday, July 22, the Oxford Acceleration Series and PASS
Modifieds will take center stage. Saturday brings the Brackett
Mechanical/RB Performance PASS 150 accompanied by Oxford's Strictly Stock
and Mini Stock divisions. Saturday will also be the first day the TD Bank
250 Late Models hit the track for practice. Sunday, the TD Bank 250 green
flag flies at 2 pm.

TD Bank 250 tickets are priced at $50, $40 and $30. A seating chart is
available on online at www.oxfordplains.com. Tickets for the Brackett
Mechanical/RB Performance PASS 150 are $25. Special discount ticket
