SurePoint Medical Partners With Kasey Kahne Racing
Primary sponsorship of World of Outlaws Sprint Car to drive awareness of diabetes

Mooresville, NC (August 7, 2012) – SurePoint Medical, a health and wellness company that specializes in the treatment and management of diabetes and other chronic diseases, signed a multi-year deal to serve as primary sponsor of the Kasey Kahne Racing No. 4 World of Outlaws Series Sprint Car driven by Cody Darrah.

“Diabetes is an epidemic disease in the United States and we believe that Kasey Kahne and his Kasey Kahne Racing World of Outlaws team provides a great platform to get the message out about testing for diabetes and leading a healthier life,” said Gordon Roll, president and CEO of SurePoint Medical.

Diabetes affects 25.8 million people in the United States – more than eight percent of the population – according to the American Diabetes Association. Poorly controlled diabetes can lead to a variety of serious health problems, including damage to the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and immune system. SurePoint Medical makes it easy for patients to manage their diabetic testing and pharmaceutical needs with its complete diabetic supply and prescription management services.

Darrah, a 22-year-old native of Red Lion, Pa., ran his first full season for Kasey Kahne Racing in the 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. He racked up over 15 top-ten finishes, earned the KSE Hard Charger award twice, and won the 2011 Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year award. Darrah has three career World of Outlaws Series wins including a win at the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway in his home state of Pennsylvania.

“Everyone at Kasey Kahne Racing is thrilled to have SurePoint Medical come on board,” said Kasey Kahne, owner of Kasey Kahne Racing. “One of our crew members gave his kidney to his sister because she has severe diabetes, so we are very aware of the effects that diabetes can have and look forward to joining with SurePoint to bring awareness to managing this disease.”

SurePoint is working closely with other Kasey Kahne Racing partners, such as the Sage Fruit Company, to develop a consumer activation program that includes at-track and at-retail elements. The campaign will draw consumers to the BeSureToTest.Com online diabetes resource and community site.
Darrah will debut the No. 4 SurePoint/Sage Fruit Maxim at this year’s 52nd annual Knoxville Nationals this week.

Darrah Fourth At Final Nationals Tune Up

With a new sponsor, and a new paint scheme, Cody Darrah took advantage of a Sunday night race at the Knoxville Raceway and scored a fourth place finish during his final tune-up at the raceway until the Nationals.

With SurePoint Medical Group coming on board for the rest of the season, Darrah unveiled an immaculate Blue car on Sunday and proceeded to put on quite a show for the fans.

The night started off with Darrah timing the SurePoint Medical Group/Schroth Racing/Team ASE No.4D in with the 13th fastest lap during time trials with 68 cars on hand.

Starting on the front row of his heat race, Darrah scored a second place finish, and transferred into the feature event, where he would end up starting in the second row.

As the race got underway, Darrah settled into the third spot as he chased after second running, Tim Shaffer.

While Darrah would roll both the top and bottom, he soon had his hands full with his Kasey Kahne Racing teammate, Joey Saldana.

As the race wound down, Saldana would get under Darrah, but Cody remained tough on the cushion.

Joey would finally get the third spot, as Darrah settled for the fourth spot.

“It was a good run for us to get dialed in for the Nationals,” Darrah said. “With such a stout field of cars tonight it was cool to run up front with SurePoint on the car tonight.”

Darrah Ends 2011 With Momentum

It's no secret to anyone in the racing world, Cody Darrah's return from a devastating knee injury was rough. The impressive thing? Darrah's poise to ignore the naysayer's keep his head up, continue to improve, and even pick up his first win with Kasey Kahne Racing in 2011.

After Kasey Kahne signed Red Lion, PA native, Cody Darrah, to pilot his second car on the World of Outlaw tour for 2010, the youngster was involved in a street car collision during Florida Speedweeks, that caused a severe knee injury, and ended Darrah's 2010 season.

Darrah continued to travel with the KKR team and watched how they worked, as well as paying close attention to many venues he had never seen as he anticipated his return to action in 2011.

As expected, Darrah took his rookie lumps on the tour this year, and many 'internet owners' questioned his continued employment with KKR, but they saw something special in him.

"We obviously see something in Cody, and know how most rookie seasons on the tour go," said KKR Manager, Willie Kahne. "The kid has talent, and we are thrilled to continue to watch him grow and succeed."

Things got extremely rough for the 22-year old driver in the middle of the summer, but on August 27, Darrah broke into victory lane aboard his KKR/Great Clips No. 91 for the first time and only time of 2011 as he out dueled teammate Brad Sweet, and "The King", Steve Kinser.

"That win was huge," explained Darrah. "I was just excited I still had a job, because I sure did do my part in emptying out our trailer all season, but my guys stuck behind me and it was awesome to get that win."

As the season continued on, Darrah used his momentum and picked up a few top five finishes, but continued to visit tracks for his first time.

With 2011 winding down, the youngster picked up some important momentum for the offseason as he put together a masterful World Finals run during the season finale as he charged from his tenth starting spot to a fourth place finish.

This last weekend, Darrah competed in his home state of Pennsylvania for two days of action, and he kicked the weekend off by charging from his 11th starting position to an impressive third place finish against the PA Posse.

On Sunday, Cody returned to Hagerstown Speedway for the Octoberfest, the event Cody won last year in his first start back from injury.

Gridding the field in the fifth spot, Darrah worked his way up to second, and fought for the lead, until he lost his brakes late in the feature, and still scored a fifth place finish.

"Just watching him progress has been fun in 2011," said Willie Kahne. "The organization as a whole is excited we have him back in 2012."

Cody Darrah and KKR would like to thank Great Clips, Sage Fruit, Factory Kahne Shocks, Team ASE, Curb Records, Freightliner, MPD, BOSCH, Kaeding Performance, and Brown and Miller for their continued support in 2011.

Cody holds off Kinser on late restart, Sweet surges to second at Castrol Raceway

EDMONTON, Alberta - Aug. 27, 2011 - As he rolled out of turn four at Castrol Raceway on Saturday night after clearing the scales, Cody Darrah's crew greeted him with shouts and fists in the air.

In the process, Darrah also won the overall Oil City Cup title. (Dan Frederickson photo)

"If I would have been the boss, I would have fired me a long time ago," Darrah, of Red Lion, Pa., said as he high-fived his crew in front of his #91 Great Clips Maxim. "We've been through a lot this year and this victory makes it all worth it. There are a ton of people to thank but first and foremost I have to thank Kasey (Kahne) for sticking by me and keeping a ride for me after I got injured last year and through all the things we've been through this year. I watched Steve (Kinser) on a few of those restarts and kind of learned a few things. We had an awesome car tonight. This feels amazing and I am so happy to be back in Victory Lane."

Darrah had to work for the win as he started 12th when the 35-lap main event took the green flag. From the start it was obvious that Darrah had one of the top cars in the field as he sliced and diced his way to the front. Kinser started from the pole position and led the first 20 circuits until his Tony Stewart Racing teammate, Donny Schatz, muscled around him to take the lead in lapped traffic.

Schatz continued to pace the field until a late race red flag ended up being his downfall. As the cars tried to slow down, Schatz tangled with a lapped car, which sent the four-time champion to the work area. With Schatz off the track temporarily, Darrah assumed the lead and never looked back. Throughout the two green-white-checkered attempts, Darrah held on and even ran away from the back on the second one. Teammate Sweet worked his way around Kinser for second.
