McHenry, IL — August 5, 2009  - Winning is always a possibility when you’re a Raybestos Safety Center Member. In July, 400 technicians were able to give their shop a mini-makeover thanks to the Raybestos® Safety Center’s Second Quarter Prize Drawing. The drawing awarded Safety Center Members with Raybestos Trash Cans, Open/Closed Signs, Creeper Stools and Key Cabinets.

 Members of the Raybestos® Safety Center, which is currently over 3,000 members strong, will next have the opportunity to win an invitation to a Raybestos® Rookie Racing School. Offering classroom and on-track instruction by the Jeff Gordon/Mario Andretti Racing School, this exclusive Racing School offers technicians the chance to run real race cars featuring the same Raybestos pad compounds utilized by Joe Gibbs Racing every Sprint Cup race. The Rookie Racing School drawing will be held on August 31, 2009.

 Safety Center technicians are eligible for every quarterly prize drawing by way of membership. Membership into the Raybestos Safety Center costs only $69 and includes 5 sets of Raybestos safety glasses, 5 retro t-shirts, 2 Raybestos posters, 1 bay banner, 1 torque spec poster, 20 pens and 2 tacker signs. Enrollment also guarantees a year’s worth of promotional kits (posters, brochures, tally cards, etc.), as well as a full year of unlimited technical hotline access.
