Caribou, Maine, January 15, 2007: AMHC is hosting the 3rd Annual Snowmobile
Run and Buffet/Auction to benefit Sexual Assault Services on Saturday,
February 10, 2007. In the past two years, the event has raised $32,500
total to benefit sexual assault services, enabling AMHC to provide services
to several hundred victims and significant others in need. AMHC is looking
to raise even more money this year to support the continued fight against
sexual assault. Tickets are $50 for the entire day, including the ride,
autograph session and buffet/auction or $25 each for the daytime
ride/autograph session or the evening buffet/auction.

Sponsored in partnership with County Sports and Clukey's Auto Parts, the run
features loyal supporter, Andy Santerre, Busch North Series Champion '02-'05
and owner of Andy Santerre Motorsports. This year, Andy is bringing some
well-known championship drivers, team owners, and Nextel Cup crew members
along with him to enjoy the Snow Run, Buffet, and Auction to help raise
money for this worthy cause. Joining Andy is Sean Caisse, driver for the
#44 Casella Waste Systems/Andy Santerre Motorsports racing team and 2006
Busch Pole Award Winner, Mike Olsen, the 2001 and 2006 NASCAR Busch East
Series winner, and Mike Olsen's crew chief, Harry Norcross. Hendrick
Motorsports will also be represented by Shane Parson and Scott Foxx, engine
shop crew members for the Nextel Cup Team featuring drivers Jeff Gordon,
Jimmie Johnson, and Kyle Busch. Andy is also bringing his show car for all
to see, driven by Tom Campbell. The car will be on display at the Lakeview
Restaurant on Thursday, February 8, at County Sports in Caribou on February
9 and of course, at the Caribou Inn & Convention Center on event day,
February 10. George Campbell and Greg Fish of North East Racing News will be
covering the event for Busch East Scene.

The sleds pull out of the Caribou Inn & Convention Center at 10:00 a.m. for
a scenic 100-mile ride bordering the St. John River, up through the St. John
Valley and back by mid-afternoon. At 4:30 p.m., Andy Santerre and his
friends will host a social hour and autograph session highlighted by a
special sneak peak at some of our highly desirable auction items available
