    Shock Doctor, Inc. Wins Big with Sponsored Racers


    Medals won at Winter X Games 13 and overall top finishers at Rolex 24 at Daytona






    MINNEAPOLIS, (January 28, 2009) -
    Shock Doctor, Inc., a global brand leader in superior sports protection
    products, today announces an exciting weekend of race results at two of
    the largest showcases for powersports- the Winter X Games 13 in Aspen,
    Colo., and the Rolex 24 at Daytona held at Daytona International
    Speedway.



    The Winter X Games continued to prove Tucker Hibbert is untouchable as
    he snatched his third consecutive gold medal in snocross. After the
    green flag dropped in the snocross finals, Hibbert never looked back,
    leading all 25 laps of the race. Shock Doctor provides the unbeaten
    racer with the protective gear, including The Eject Helmet Removal
    System and Power Gravity 2 mouthguard, he needs to stay in the lead.
    Hibbert also is working with Shock Doctor on product development for
    Shock Doctor's line of Power Dry(TM) Gear Bag and Moto Lite compression
    shorts continuing Shock Doctor's presence and development of new,
    groundbreaking and patented technologies for powersport competitors.



    Shock Doctor-sponsored Ski-Doo/BOSS Racing team members Robbie
    Malinoski and Dave Allard both advanced to the finals at Winter X Games
    13. It was Malinoski who came away victorious and grabbed the silver
    medal in the snocross finals. Shock Doctor is the official protective
    gear and sports bag sponsor of the Ski-Doo/BOSS Racing team.



    "On behalf of Shock Doctor, I congratulate our sponsored athletes for
    their outstanding performances at Winter X Games 13 and Rolex 24 at
    Daytona," said Steven Coopersmith, Shock Doctor senior vice president
    of marketing. "We're very excited about the continued success we've had
    in the powersports arena with all of our Shock Doctor teams. If our
    products can help these highly skilled professional athletes continue
    to excel, just think what they can do for athletes at every level of
    competition."



    At the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Shock Doctor's racers also came away
    victorious. Finishing first overall in the Daytona Prototype racing
    series was Shock Doctor driver Darren Law of Brumos Racing. In the No.
    58 Brumos Racing Porsche Riley, Law was joined by co-drivers David
    Donohue, Buddy Rice and Antonio Garcia to give Brumos Racing its first
    Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series victory since 2003. The win was
    particularly thrilling, as not only was it the closest finish in the
    47-year history of the event, but is also believed to be the closest
    contested finish in the history of a major international 24-hour
    endurance racing event. In additional victory news, Shock Doctor's
    driver Patrick Long along with Jorg Bergmeister, Andy Lally, Justin
    Marks and RJ Valentine of TRG finished first in the GT class.



    In other exciting news from the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Shock Doctor would
    like to congratulate additional key sponsorship team victories with top
    finishes by Timo Bernhard of Penske Racing, Childress-Howard Motosports
    Team, Banner Racing Team, Robin Liddell of Stevenson Motorsports,
    Richard Westbrook of Farnbacher Loles Racing Team, Leh Keen and Richard
    Westbrook of Farnbacher Loles Racing GT Team, Jim Lowel of JLowe Racing
    Team, and Darren Turner of Krohn Racing Team.



    "All of these recent wins continue to speak to the ability of our
    team's athletic preparedness, skills and knowing how important it is to
    have the right equipment backing them," said Coopersmith. "These
    talented athletes are valued partners to support the Shock Doctor brand
    in powersports and we look forward to following their success in future
    competitions."
