Golden Corral on Kvapil's No. 28: On Sunday, Feb. 15, all eyes will be on the Golden Corral No. 28 Ford Fusion and its driver Travis Kvapil as he races for the checkered flag for American families and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) during the 2009 Daytona 500.  If Kvapil finishes in the top 10, Golden Corral will give every kid in America a free buffet* as well as make a $5,000 donation to the DAV.  In celebration of Kvapil's success, Golden Corral, America's favorite family buffet and grill restaurant chain, will turn Monday, Feb. 16, into "Kids Eat Free" Day.  Families who bring a Daytona 500 race ticket or official race results from a newspaper or Web site can receive a free kid's buffet for any child 12 and under with the purchase of an adult buffet at participating restaurants. Golden Corral Chief Marketing Officer Chris Kuehn said, "Golden Corral and Travis are proud to be racing for American families and the DAV.  In tough economic times, this promotion will help make dining out more affordable as well as increase the awareness of the incredible support the DAV provides to American heroes who have served our country and are in need of assistance." In addition to "Kids Eat Free" Day, Golden Corral will also make a $5,000 donation to the DAV, an 87-year-old non-profit organization dedicated to providing services - free of charge through its nationwide network - to disabled veterans and their families.  Through Golden Corral's "Military Appreciation Monday," the company has helped raise more than $3.26 million for the DAV since the program started in 2001. (PR)

Kvapil's #77 in white this weekend, support Breast Cancer Awareness Month: This weekend at Kansas Speedway, Eastman Kodak Company's Health Imaging Division will once again leverage the firm's Penske-Jasper Racing NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series sponsorship to join in the race to promote better breast health for women. In 2005, 40,410 women and more than 460 men are expected to die of breast cancer. With this in mind, the Kodak Racing team is trading its well-known Kodak gold this weekend for a white No. 77 Kodak Mammography Products Dodge Charger for Travis Kvapil to race in the Banquet 400 in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which runs through October. Through its sponsorship of Kvapil's car, Kodak hopes to raise awareness of the importance of early detection, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. In addition to the No. 77 Kodak Mammography Products Dodge, Kodak is supporting the race for better breast health in other ways. Kodak EasyShare Gallery (www.kodakgallery.com), formerly known as "Ofoto", has teamed with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as the official photo sponsor of the Breast Cancer 3-Day, an organized fundraiser, which from June through the end of October will have visited 10 different cities to aid in the fight against breast cancer.  (Penske-Jasper Racing PR)
