McHenry, IL — March 17, 2010

 - When it comes to edge-of-your-seat excitement nothing tops the 220 mph racing in the IZOD IndyCar Series, and when it comes to rewarding technicians for installing the best in brakes nothing beats the Raybestos™ “Speed Into Savings” spring rebate promotion.

 In celebrating Raybestos brake products as the preferred street/road course brake pads of the IZOD IndyCar Series, technicians and consumers have the opportunity to earn a generous cash rebate when choosing Raybestos products from 4/1/10 through 5/31/10. 
 Eligible technicians will receive a tally card and earn $1 for each qualifying Raybestos pad set, wheel hub assembly and/or rotor they install.  With each qualifying brake job consumers will earn up to $35 by mailing in the program rebate card to headquarters.  D.I.Y. customers are also eligible for the rebate and will receive $25 for qualifying purchases when submitting the rebate card.
 Promotion enrollment is simple and completely free for technicians.  By enrolling in the Raybestos™ Rewards Program technicians will receive a free “Speed Into Savings” Rebate Program Kit featuring a counter card, IZOD IndyCar Series countermat, Open Wheel Racing heritage poster, $35 rebate poster, 50 paper floor mats and tally card.
 In addition to the cash rebates, participating consumers and technicians will also be entered into a drawing for a trip to an IndyCar race in California.
 Repair facilities and technicians can enroll in the Raybestos™ Rewards program and learn complete “Speed Into Savings” promotion specifics at www.raybestos.com and www.raybestoschassis.com.
