Calgary, Canada & Chicago, USA—September XX, 2011—Poynt Corporation (TSX-V: PYN) (“Poynt Corp.” or the “Company”), a global leader in mobile local search and advertising, and Rick Ware Racing (“RWR”) today announced the Company’s flagship application, Poynt (“Poynt” or the “App”) will be the official sponsor of Jeffrey Earnhardt for the Talladega Superspeedway Camping World Truck Series entry in October.

Earnhardt will be driving the Poynt branded NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chevy in the October 22, 2011 Camping World Truck Series event at the Talladega Superspeedway, AL in the Coca-Cola 250 presented by Fred’s Super Dollar. The race will be broadcast at 3:30pm ET on SPEED in the United States and on Speed Network in Canada.

“The Earnhardt name is synonymous with NASCAR,” said Margaret Glover-Campbell, SVP Marketing and Public Relations. “This is a fantastic opportunity to expand Poynt’s sponsorship within the RWR family, especially given the Earnhardt name has become a brand of its own. We are eager to see RWR and Poynt further grow together as Talladega approaches.”

Added Ware, “Poynt has been a lifesaver to our team when we’ve put in a long day on the road between cities and need to find nearby gas, a place to eat or a hotel for the night.”

There have been very few things that have been able to slow down Tyler Hill in 2011! The young developmental driver from Rick Ware Racing drove through storms literally to get to South Carolina and the record books.

Hill has been dominating the Allison Legacy Series in 2011, capturing 10 wins in 11 races heading to Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina this weekend.

"We unloaded fast once again, capturing the pole," stated Tyler. "They inverted the Top 4 qualifiers and I had to start in the second row. Mark (crew chief) had the car set up perfectly and I was able to make the pass for the lead with eight laps to go and take the win."

Tyler now holds the Allison Legacy Series record for most wins in a season with 11, surpassing the record set by his brother Timmy in 2009.

"I'm really proud of what he has been able to do this year," stated Timmy Hill. "If anyone was going to break the record, at least it stayed in the family!"

Tyler will look to continue his dominance as the goal of the National Championship is now in sight.

“Bringing Chris into our organization is the key to our success,” stated owner Rick Ware. “Chris will be able to help with development of both the car as well as getting the most out of our drivers with his hands on technique. His experience with heavier cars is second to none! We can now hit the road running with him and our drivers,” Ware added.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to compete in the Grand Am GT Series in 2012,” stated Chris Cook. “I have spent over a decade coaching road racing’s elite, and now, to able to contend for a title is a dream come true.
