For Immediate Release

Mike Leaty and his #25 MPL Motorsports have a new primary sponsor on board for their 2008 campaign – the US Army. “It is going to be an honor to represent the US Army and all of the men and women in uniform protecting our nation this season. I am happy that they have chosen to support MPL Motorsports in 2008 and I can’t wait to begin what I hope is a long-term relationship,” said Leaty.

The US Army joins major associate sponsors Rochester Steel Treating and Wittenberg University on the #25 Modified. In addition Northeast Industrial Technologies has signed on as a new associate sponsor for the team. Northeast was previously involved as a sponsor last year at the Race of Champions at Oswego Speedway and at the US Open at Dunn Tire Raceway Park. “We are thrilled to have Northeast Industrial Technologies back for the full 2008 season. They are longtime race fans and I am proud to be able to represent their company on the track” said Leaty.

The #25 MPL Motorsports Modified will race at seven different venues this season.

In addition, numerous Race of Champions tour races have been scheduled and they include appearances at Oswego Speedway, Mahoning Valley, Wyoming County International Speedway, Dunn Tire Raceway Park (formerly Lancaster Speedway), Chemung Speedrome, and Thompson Speedway. The Race of Champions 200 at Oswego Speedway and the US Open at Dunn Tire Raceway Park are also part of the action packed schedule. Two other highlights of the MPL Motorsports schedule include the Whelen Modified Tour 100 lap races at Spencer Speedway on July 12th and at Chemung Speedrome on October 4th, which closes out the 2008 season for the #25 Modified Team. Additional dates may be added as the schedule allows.

Leaty, a native of Williamson, NY, has over 100 career NASCAR Modified starts and 11 victories. Follow all of the #25 MPL Motorsports Modified action during the 2008 season by visiting the team website – www.mikeleaty.com.
