Crown Royal Becomes a Primary Sponsor for Matt Kenseth - 7/28/09

Industry Leaders Crown Royal, Matt Kenseth to reunite next season

CONCORD, N.C. (July 28, 2009) – Roush Fenway Racing announced today that Diageo, parent company of Crown Royal, has renewed its multi-year sponsorship with its organization. Crown Royal will serve as the primary sponsor for Matt Kenseth and the No. 17 Sprint Cup team at 18 Cup events in 2010.

"I'm excited about teaming up with Crown Royal," said Kenseth, one of only five drivers in NASCAR history to win the Sprint Cup rookie of the year award, a Sprint Cup Championship and the Daytona 500.

"I worked with Diageo's Smirnoff ICE brand back in 2003 and we developed a great relationship. They were a part of our Championship season and we were able to take part in a lot of really cool promotions and events to promote messages associated with responsible drinking.  I'm really looking forward to representing Crown Royal and continuing that great work."

"It's a pleasure to welcome a Champion like Matt back as our partner," said Dan Sanborn, Sr. Director, Brand Public Relations for Diageo. "Through our earlier relationship with Matt in 2003, and as the Crown Royal IROC Champion in 2004, we have experienced great success together over the years. We look forward to extending that relationship and having Matt represent one of our biggest brands both on-and-off the track."

Diageo has been a partner of Roush Fenway Racing dating back to 2003 where Kenseth was first paired with the Smirnoff Ice Brand. In 2005, Crown Royal entered the sport as sponsor of the #97 team and in 2006 became sponsor of Jamie McMurray and the #26 team.

"We will miss Jamie (McMurray) as he has been an amazing partner both on and off the track taking our 'Be a champion. Drink Responsibly,' campaign to new heights. We were lucky to have him as part of our team and whatever sponsor aligns with him will have a great person working on their behalf. We wish him well," said Sanborn.

"We are pleased that we found a suitable home within Roush Fenway Racing for one of the greatest brands in the world," said Roush Fenway Racing president Geoff Smith.

"While this is a multiple year sponsorship with Crown Royal as a primary sponsor for half the season, we are still looking and working with a few sponsor prospects to jump onto Matt's championship caliber team and align themselves with a global leader such as Diageo. This is clearly one of the strongest opportunities to become available for a potential sponsor," said Smith.

Roush Fenway Racing is NASCAR's largest team operating nine motorsports teams. Five in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with drivers Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray, Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and David Ragan; three in the Nationwide Series with Kenseth, Biffle, Edwards, Ragan, Erik Darnell, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Colin Braun; and one in the Camping World Truck Series with Braun.

ATLANTA, (April 2, 2009) - NASCAR rising star David Ragan won't be racing the "big brown truck" this year, but he will be learning what it takes to be a UPS driver in a humorous new television advertising campaign UPS launches this weekend as part of its revamped racing program.

The four-spot series, which was produced by The Martin Agency, will feature Ragan competing with UPS drivers in various extreme physical challenges to determine who will earn the title of "Maximum Driver." The first spot will be broadcast on FOX on Sunday, April 5, during the Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, but a special preview will be available on Friday afternoon, April 3, at www.racing.ups.com.

Ragan made his UPS Racing debut at the Daytona 500 in February, at which time a new television ad introducing him to the UPS team began running that featured Ragan driving his No. 6 Ford Fusion through the UPS corporate headquarters. The "Maximum Driver" series will go beyond the introduction, with Ragan facing several unique and potentially harrowing challenges as he goes toe-to-toe with some of UPS's elite delivery professionals.

The "Maximum Driver" campaign follows UPS's immensely popular "Race the Truck" commercials featuring NASCAR legend Dale Jarrett, who represented UPS Racing for nearly eight years.

"That campaign became a favorite of NASCAR fans everywhere and it did a great deal to help us establish a strong presence in the sport," said Ron Rogowski, UPS director of sponsorships. "This campaign is a fresh approach to promoting our NASCAR involvement and it has some creative marketing muscle behind it.

After the Samsung 500, the three remaining spots will be revealed sequentially throughout the 2009 racing season.

"I'm really excited about the new commercials and I think NASCAR fans are going to love them, too," said Ragan. "The ads are extremely funny, but they still manage to convey UPS's core strengths of service, dedication and reliability."

Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., UPS (NYSE: UPS) is the world's largest package delivery company and a global leader in supply chain services. Each day, the UPS pit crew of more than 425,000 dedicated employees delivers to more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. In 2009, UPS begins its 10th year as the Official Express Delivery Company of NASCAR and its ninth consecutive year of primary sponsorship in the league's top-ranked Sprint Cup Series.

Ragan to Race for Big Brown

UPS Joining Roush Fenway Racing in 2009

LOUDON, N.H., (Sept. 12, 2008) – Launching a new era in its relationship with NASCAR, UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced it would join Roush Fenway Racing for the 2009 campaign and rely on driving standout David Ragan to push the colors of "Big BrownSM" into Victory Lane.

Ragan will race the #6 UPS Ford Fusion next season in a significantly revitalized UPS motorsports program.  UPS has signed a multi-year deal with Roush Fenway Racing and Ragan.  The agreement represents a return to Ford Motor Co. and an opportunity to establish long-term stability for UPS's racing program.

Ragan and Roush Fenway Racing will be supported by UPS with a variety of new programs, to be fully announced in coming weeks, including an entirely new advertising campaign.

"We are truly excited to start this relationship with David Ragan and one of NASCAR's most respected and successful organizations," said Ron Rogowski, director of sponsorship for UPS.  "This is a new chapter in the UPS sponsorship story and we look forward to building a long and lasting relationship with such a dynamic driver and legendary organization.

"UPS prides itself on fast and reliable service and believes in innovation," Rogowski continued, "and we expect to demonstrate those values through this relationship with David and Roush Fenway Racing."

The 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season will mark the ninth season of primary sponsorship for UPS and the 10th year as the Official Delivery Company of NASCAR.

"I am pleased to welcome UPS to our family of sponsors," said Jack Roush, co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing.  "UPS has shown over the years not only to be a leader in its industry, but also in the marketing and execution of its NASCAR program.  David Ragan will be an outstanding representative for them on and off the track and with the progress David has made this season, I have no doubt he will be in Victory Lane with UPS in 2009."

Ragan is currently having a breakout sophomore season in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing.  Through the first 26 races of the 2008 season, he has scored five top-five and 10 top-10 finishes and just missed qualifying for the Chase for the Championship.

"Driving for Roush Fenway Racing is already a big dream come true but on top of that, to now represent a leading international corporation such as UPS on the race track is really special," said Ragan.  "UPS is a company that is so incredibly popular and respected not just here, but all over the world.  Everywhere you go people love UPS and it will be fantastic to wear that famous shield logo."

The 22-year-old Ragan, the son of retired NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Ken Ragan, started his racing career in 1997 at age 11 in the Bandolero Series, winning its National Championship in 1998-99.  The Unadilla, Ga., native then graduated to the Daytona Dash series and NASCAR late model stock cars.  This led to an opportunity to drive in the NASCAR Legends Pro-Division under the watchful eye of team owner and NASCAR superstar Mark Martin.  At age 18, Ragan jumped into a series of limited appearances in Craftsman Truck, Nationwide Series and ARCA rides.

A life-changing career break occurred in 2006 when Roush Fenway, through its "Driver X" recruitment program, paired Ragan with Mark Martin in the Craftsman Truck Series and Nationwide Series.  The demonstration of Ragan's talents in those outings landed him the opportunity to race the #6 Roush Fenway Cup series entry beginning in 2007, yielding a runner-up for Raybestos Rookie of the Year.  Now in his sophomore season of Sprint Cup Series competition, Ragan has continued to turn heads by demonstrating skills and maturity beyond his years.  

"This is an unbelievable opportunity to drive and represent a company that has become one of NASCAR's most respected sponsors," said Ragan.  "I've watched the UPS car on the track for a number of years and now to be driving with the UPS colors is humbling.  It's an honor and I look forward to representing UPS and its more than 425,000 employees around the world."

UPS became the official express delivery company of NASCAR in 2000 and a year later, joined Robert Yates Racing and NASCAR champion Dale Jarrett to campaign the #88 UPS Ford Taurus as a full sponsor.  In 2007, UPS followed its driver when Jarrett joined Michael Waltrip Racing to race the Toyota Camry.  Earlier this season, Jarrett retired and the #44 UPS Camry is being driven for the remainder of this season by David Reutimann.

About Roush Fenway Racing

Roush Fenway Racing operates 13 full-time motorsports teams: five in NASCAR Sprint Cup with drivers Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray, Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and David Ragan; four in the Nationwide Series with Kenseth, Biffle, Edwards, McMurray, Ragan, Erik Darnell and Colin Braun; three in the Craftsman Truck Series with Darnell, Braun, Travis Kvapil, Bobby East and John Wes Townley; and one in the ARCA RE/MAX Series with Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.

Lenovo Expands Motorsportws Presence to IndyCar Series

LENOVO EXPANDS MOTORSPORTS PRESENCE TO INDYCAR SERIES FOR INDY 500 WITH CURB /AGAJANIAN /BECK TEAM

Lenovo Promotes Relationship with NBA by Highlighting The Finals on the Car

INDIANAPOLIS – (May 25, 2007) – Lenovo, a leading computer company that creates the best-engineered PCs in the world, today announced a sponsorship agreement with the CURB/ Agajanian/Beck team for the crown jewel race within the IndyCar Series – the Indianapolis 500.

The announcement marks Lenovo's interest in identifying how motorsports can help drive the company's goal for building brand awareness on a global scale. This coming weekend provides a significant opportunity for worldwide brand exposure. Lenovo is sponsoring teams at two of the racing world's most prestigious races -- the Indianapolis 500 and the Formula 1 race in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

The Lenovo IndyCar Series announcement comes during the most important time of year for the series – the Indianapolis 500 weekend, when all eyes are on Indianapolis for what remains the world's largest single-day spectator sporting event. The Lenovo logo will be placed on the black No. 98 CURB/ Agajanian/Beck Motorsports Dallara/Honda/Firestone car, driven by Alex Barron, for this weekend's Indianapolis 500 race. In addition, the Lenovo-sponsored AT&T Williams Formula One car - a partnership announced earlier this year - races this weekend at Monaco.

In an innovative cross promotion, the Indy 500 sponsorship also showcases Lenovo's support for the NBA and The Finals, marking the first time the league's marquee event has been promoted during an auto race.  The front wings on the car will brand The Finals on ABC on June 7. Greg Oden and Mike Conley Jr., expected top selections in the NBA Draft in June and both Indianapolis natives, will be on-site in Pit Row as guests of Lenovo and driver Alex Barron.

"IndyCar racing is a data-intensive, computing-intensive endeavor, highly focused and invested in innovation and development, and highly dependent on information technology," said Tony George, Tony George, founder and CEO, Indy Racing League, the sanctioning body for the IndyCar Series.  "We welcome Lenovo to this community and are excited to be working with the best in the business for PC technology."

The IndyCar Series has long been recognized for its technical leadership, and recently reinforced its leadership track record by being the first in the automobile racing world to use 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol in Indy cars. That leadership makes the IndyCar Series an excellent partner for Lenovo, where engineering and innovation are top priorities.

CURB/Agaganian/Beck Motorsports needs high-performance, reliable, robust PC support from Lenovo, which will provide PC technology to be used throughout the team's functions – ranging from ignition checks to race operations and inventory.

Effective deployment of information technology is a key part of the CURB/ Agajanian/Beck Motorsports strategic allocation process, and these decisions help determine the team's success at the track. A Lenovo notebook PC will form an integral part of starting the IndyCar car before each race, practice and test session. Lenovo PCs will support engineers in car research, test, development and manufacturing. They will support the drivers in their analysis and will support the management team in marketing, logistics, travel and race planning as well as networking, inventory, relationships with clients, sponsors and suppliers, human resources, finance and strategy.

"Lenovo creates the best-engineered PCs in the world, and the IndyCar Series provides an exciting platform to build Lenovo awareness in the U.S. market, and to showcase our products and their reliability. The Indy 500 race will provide an excellent opportunity for us to unleash the value of the IndyCar Series as a marketing platform," said Deepak Advani, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Lenovo.

"Lenovo is an innovative NBA partner and their placement of The Finals logo on the CURB/ Agajanian/Beck car showcases their commitment to our relationship and their PC technology support for The Finals," said Mark Tatum, NBA Senior Vice President, Marketing Partnerships.

The Indy Racing League's immediate goal is increasing corporate interest in the IndyCar Series and its drivers, teams and tracks. JMI will advise on all business development matters relating to the IndyCar Series sales strategy, packaging, marketplace intelligence and commercial value proposition.

JMI's initial priority will be to help prioritize, organize and mobilize commercial efforts against the strategic imperatives for the IndyCar Series – seeking to maximize the value proposition for prospective sponsors.

"It is part of our agency charter to be intimately familiar with commercial opportunities across all major motorsports series, including the IndyCar Series," said Zak Brown, founder and CEO, Just Marketing International.  "Looking across the motorsports landscape, we see the IndyCar Series offering enormous and affordable value. We are extremely confident that when leading corporations are exposed to IndyCar Series opportunities, it will lead to new investments in the sport."

Tony George, founder and CEO, Indy Racing League, has committed considerable assets of the Indy Racing Leage and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to maximize commercial opportunities for the IndyCar Series.

JMI services will also include strategic consultation and insight into the design and implementation of customized, turnkey IndyCar Series marketing programs - including research and marketplace analysis, marketing and business planning, integrated promotional concepts and creative materials, experiential driving events, hospitality and VIP entertainment, media and CRM best practices.

The partnership comes on the heels of the league's announcement last month that Brian Barnhart would serve as president of the Indy Racing League Competition and Operations Division, and Terry Angstadt would serve as president of the Indy Racing League Commercial Division.

"There is little doubt that Just Marketing International has vast and in-depth knowledge of the motorsports commercial landscape," said George. "Given the IndyCar Series' newly energized and refocused business agenda and management structure, it makes good sense to employ JMI's expertise as a complement to our new direction."

The new structure better enables the sanctioning body and its two series, the IndyCar Series and Indy Pro Series, to take advantage of expanding business opportunities in a changing environment.

"We are entering into a very active and optimistic era for IndyCar and its drivers, teams and events," said Terry Angstadt, president, Indy Racing League Commercial Division.  "There is an increasingly great business story to be told, and it will be done so in greater detail and scale than ever before. IndyCar delivers a product that is exciting, glamorous, highly relevant and valuable in today's sponsorship marketplace.  Our incomparable history and tradition, coupled with leading-edge technology, distinguishes IndyCar as a compelling sponsorship platform."

"DIRECTV Speedweeks at Daytona is a one-of-a-kind motorsports spectacle," Daytona International Speedway President Robin Braig said. "We're excited about DIRECTV's unique sponsorship involvement and look forward to a great working relationship."

"We're proud to be the official sponsor of Speedweeks 2007," said Jon Gieselman, senior vice president of advertising and PR for DIRECTV.  "With each year, our association with motorsports and NASCAR grows even stronger and this sponsorship of Speedweeks gives us the chance to kick off the new season with a strong marketing platform."

First Drivers Get on Board for Exclusive New NASCAR Hotpass™ Only on DIRECTV

Satellite Television Leader Also Debuts National Advertising Campaign Featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr. as the Debut of the Service Draws Near

EL SEGUNDO, CA, (Jan. 29, 2007) - In 2007, DIRECTV will take the NASCAR television experience to another level as it debuts the highly anticipated and exclusive NASCAR HOTPASS™ only on DIRECTV during the Daytona 500 on February 18 at Daytona International Speedway. Today, the nation's leading satellite television service provider announced the first five drivers for the debut of this new interactive television service that will enable fans to ride shotgun with their favorite drivers by literally taking them into the cars and pits of the top drivers and teams in NASCAR.

NASCAR HOTPASS™ only on DIRECTV, will feature five channels (DIRECTV channels 794-799) completely devoted to specific drivers and their racing teams each week. The service will debut at the Daytona 500 with the following lineup of top NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers:

      
  • Dale Earnhardt Jr. - Dale Earnhardt Incorporated
  •   
  • Kevin Harvick - Richard Childress Racing
  •   
  • Jimmie Johnson - Hendrick Motorsports
  •   
  • Tony Stewart - Joe Gibbs Racing

"We're proud that the first five drivers who have decided to participate in this incredible new service are among NASCAR's most elite competitors,' said David Hill, president of entertainment for DIRECTV. 'The drivers are energized and excited about this new way to translate the incredible NASCAR experience, but it is the fans who are in for a truly amazing experience."

To drive national awareness for this exciting and exclusive new package, DIRECTV has completed its first national advertising campaign for the service, featuring the sport's most popular personality, Dale Earnhardt Jr. The spot is set to debut just before the Daytona 500 and is a continuation of DIRECTV's "Fourth Wall" campaign where top actors and athletes recreate a scene from a famous movie or a noteworthy moment of sports competition.

The resulting effect in this case will be Earnhardt Jr. directly addressing the viewing audience while in the middle of a Victory Lane celebration following an actual NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race victory. This same technology was employed in previous DIRECTV spots using footage from popular films such as "Star Trek-The Undiscovered Country," "Dukes of Hazard," "Back to the Future" and recently, NFL game footage featuring Colts quarterback and DIRECTV NFL SUNDAY TICKET spokesman Peyton Manning.

With NASCAR HOTPASS™ only on DIRECTV, each of the five dedicated driver channels will offer multiple camera angles, real-time car telemetry, in-car audio communication and a dedicated announcer team. The new service, combined with race day telecasts and nascar.com coverage, will give fans the most comprehensive and powerful NASCAR experience possible.

DIRECTV customers can now purchase NASCAR HOTPASS only on DIRECTV™. The full-season price of the package is $99, but customers can take advantage of an Early Bird offer by purchasing the package by Jan. 31, 2007 for $79. The exclusive service is also available on a pay-per-week basis for $29.99. More information is available on www.directv.com/hotpass.

Ford of Europe Looks to Just Marketing International to Leverage World Rally Championship Program

ZIONSVILLE, IN - (December 8, 2006) - Just Marketing International will help Ford of Europe leverage its World Rally Championship (WRC) program, its title-winning program that claimed this year's FIA WRC Manufacturers' Championship*.

Ford of Europe has been involved in the WRC since the championship racing began in 1973. The FIA WRC is considered one of the most demanding and extreme forms of racing, with worldwide competitions taking place in three-day increments in a variety of climates and terrains. Since its initiation in rallying, Ford has won 58 rallies. Just Marketing International will specifically focus on the Ford WRC program and align suitable corporate partners with the BP-Ford World Rally Team.

Ford's 2006 victory represents its first championship in 27 years. The pinnacle of achievement for Ford of Europe, and motorsport department, Ford TeamRS, followed a winning season with eight victories.

JMI will represent Ford TeamRS' commercial interests and increase the overall exposure of Ford's international motorsports program. Exclusively leveraging Ford's initiatives in international markets, JMI will seek beneficial partners appropriate for the increasingly popular series.

"Ford has always been a worldwide motorsports leader and we are honored to have the opportunity to work alongside them through such a high-profile and successful racing program," said Zak Brown, president and CEO, Just Marketing International.  "This will not be the first time Just Marketing International and Ford have collaborated, and we are delighted to continue the association."

"With an 11-month racing season spanning 16 counties, it's important for Ford to work with a partner who understands the unique WRC market and the nuances of international motorsports," said Ford of Europe Team RS Director, Jost Capito. "With their exclusive global motorsports experience, we are confident in tasking Just Marketing International with increasing Ford's global exposure."

The 2006 championship driver duo was comprised of Finnish double-champion, Marcus Grönholm, and co-driver Timo Rautiainen, as well as Mikko Hirvonen, and co-driver Jarmo Lehtinen both competing in the Ford Focus RS WRC 06. The Ford BP Team secured the manufacturers' title in its first year of running with the all-new WRC car.

DIRECTV Produces a World's First; Ushers in New Era of NASCAR Viewing

DIRECTV PRODUCES A WORLD'S FIRST; USHERS IN NEW ERA OF NASCAR VIEWING WITH INNOVATIVE HOTPASS SERVICE TO DEBUT AT 2007 DAYTONA 500

NASCAR HOTPASS™, Exclusively on DIRECTV, Brings Fans Into the Cars and Pits of Top Drivers and Racing Teams, Capturing the Drama and Decisions That Make or Break NASCAR Races

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 2006 - Setting another new benchmark in TV sports programming, DIRECTV will produce a world's first for NASCAR fans by taking them deep inside America's fastest-growing spectator sport, allowing them to ride shotgun with their favorite drivers, through a new television service - NASCAR HOTPASS™ only on DIRECTV. DIRECTV and NASCAR signed a three-year deal to offer the service exclusively to DIRECTV customers.

Each week during the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, NASCAR HOTPASS™, only on DIRECTV, will put race fans behind the wheel, in the pits and around the track with their favorite NASCAR drivers and teams, by offering five fully-produced channels allowing fans to follow five different drivers from the green to the checkered flag during every race. Each of the five dedicated driver channels will offer multiple camera angles, real-time statistics, in-car audio communication and a dedicated announcer team. The new HOTPASS service, combined with race day telecasts and nascar.com coverage, will give fans the most comprehensive and powerful NASCAR experience possible.

While the NASCAR viewing experience to date has focused predominately on the race and the ongoing battles taking place on the track between teams, the new DIRECTV service will bring to life the drama that exists within each racing team as they execute the decisions that make or break a race. Much like in football where the play-by-play decisions of coaches provide drama for the millions of "armchair" quarterbacks as they predict and analyze what the team will do next, such is the case with NASCAR HOTPASS only on DIRECTV™ as fans are privy to the dialogue and strategy involved in every critical move.

"NASCAR fans are the most passionate and committed fans in all sports," said David Hill, president, DIRECTV Entertainment. "Their depth of knowledge of what it takes to win is matched only by their commitment to their favorite driver. We're giving the fans of five drivers a race, the chance to live the entire race sitting next to their favorite driver. They'll hear driver conversations with the spotter and crew chief, they'll hear and experience every decision, and watch every move they make--right or wrong. For NASCAR fans, this is the ultimate thrill ride. Like the crew chief, they'll know where the driver stands in the field because both the network broadcast and the driver cameras will be on the same screen. It's a whole new way of looking at NASCAR."

"NASCAR is always breaking ground in presenting new ways for our fans to become fully immersed in the NASCAR experience. DIRECTV is a company consistently on the leading edge of sports television innovations, so this was a perfect fit," said Dick Glover, vice president of Broadcasting and New Media, NASCAR. "We're thrilled to have DIRECTV as the exclusive distributor of this exciting new programming service and are confident that together we will make NASCAR HOTPASS™ a must-have for every race fan. Research shows that products like this increase both the number of people watching a race and the time they spend viewing."

A team comprised of 70 professionals with sports' broadcast experience will bring DIRECTV's exclusive NASCAR HOTPASS(TM) to life each week and will offer fans the following features for the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Season:

  
  • Five dedicated driver channels, each channel dedicated to broadcasting one NASCAR driver throughout the race
  • Multiple screens on each driver channel devoted to the following:
    • Live national broadcast of the race
    • Drivers point-of-view camera looking out of the front windshield, with select telemetry readings
    • Additional camera angles including an overhead cam, pit box cam and corner cams
    • Live audio of the two-way communications between the driver, crew chief and spotter
    • Dedicated announcers for each driver channel
    • Real time statistics

DIRECTV customers can purchase NASCAR HOTPASS only on DIRECTV™ beginning Dec. 13. The full-season price of the package is $99, but customers can take advantage of an Early Bird offer by purchasing the package between Dec. 13 and Jan. 31, 2007 for $79. The exclusive service is also available on a pay-per-week basis for $29.99. More information is available on www.directv.com/hotpass.

In 1994, DIRECTV broke new ground in televised sports by partnering with the NFL to launch the exclusive NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ service. NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ and subsequent sports programming packages with Major League Baseball, the NHL, NBA and NCAA among other leagues have firmly established DIRECTV as the leader in specialized sports programming. DIRECTV has continued to utilize sports to drive the evolution of advanced television services, most recently with the exclusive 2006 US OPEN INTERACTIVE service and the NFL SUNDAY TICKET SUPERFAN service, an optional interactive tier for NFL SUNDAY TICKET customers that launched in 2005. It's fitting that this year DIRECTV continues its leadership in specialized and interactive sports programming bringing it to NASCAR, the number-two ranked sport in terms of national television ratings, trailing only the NFL.

DIRECTV is an official sponsor of NASCAR and an official sponsor of Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and the # 07 car.

Just Marketing International to Affiliate with Simmons Abramson Marketing

JUST MARKETING INTERNATIONAL TO AFFILIATE WITH SIMMONS ABRAMSON MARKETING, FUSING CELEBRITY, SPEED AND SPONSORSHIP FOR INDYCAR SERIES

HOLLYWOOD, CA – (October 19, 2006) - Hollywood-based Simmons Abramson Marketing announced on Wednesday a global affiliation with Just Marketing International, a leader in motorsports sponsorship and strategic partnerships. The two agencies will collaborate on a series of motorsports marketing initiatives with a specific emphasis on the IndyCar Series.

Simmons Abramson Marketing is owned by brand genius GENE SIMMONS, the man who helped turn a band - KISS - into a brand, and his partner Richard Abramson, veteran entertainment and finance leader.

Founded in 1995 by Zak Brown, professional race driver and motorsports marketing veteran, Just Marketing International is consistently recognized as a key liaison between corporate sponsors and the global motorsports industry itself, leveraging essential alliances to maximize marketing potential.  In its queue of clients, Just Marketing has already brought brand recognition in motorsports to Subway, Crown Royal, ESPN, DIRECTV, Brut and Jackson Hewitt among many others.

"The IndyCar Series is an undervalued sleeper," said Zak Brown, president and CEO, Just Marketing International. "IndyCar offers unbelievably close competition, plus excellent venues and consumer reach. And with the Indianapolis 500 as its marquee event, the series has much to offer at a comparatively affordable price."

Commissioned to amplify the branding and marketing efforts of the IndyCar Series in January 2006, Simmons Abramson Marketing created the "I am INDY" campaign, a tribute to the individual, the independent, and the incredible men and women behind the wheels and in the stands.

Simmons Abramson Marketing has played an integral role in the IndyCar Series and its marketing, business development, licensing, promotion and publicity.

The IndyCar Series offers the fastest, closest and most competitive racing in motorsports with an array of drivers from around the world. The IndyCar Series schedule is unique with one race in Japan and the core of its events in the United States, including the Indianapolis 500, the greatest spectacle in racing, which serves as the cornerstone of the series.

"Our first joint appearance at the recent ANA Conference in Orlando, showcased a terrific working relationship among the three of us," said Rich Abramson. "INDY will be the beneficiary of a new superpower in the promotion of Motorsports business relationships."

GENE SIMMONS has helped propel KISS into one of the premier bands in the history of Rock and Roll.  After 33 years, KISS is hotter than ever.  KISS has broken box office records set by the Beatles and Elvis and has raised the bar of the live concert experience. This year marks the introduction of KISS Fragrances, and the opening of the first of many KISS COFFEEHOUSES.

For 33 years, GENE SIMMONS has been considered the leading brand expert in music, helping to spearhead a merchandising empire for KISS that encompasses over 2,800 licenses and merchandising deals.  Simmons also has a hit cartoon show, MY DAD THE ROCK STAR on Nickelodeon and his own hit reality show, GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS on A&E.

Besides developing revolutionary finance techniques for the entertainment and real estate business RICHARD ABRAMSON may be best known for his management of PEE-WEE HERMAN including creation of a massive merchandising business as well as serving as the Producer of the Pee-wee movies, and the phenomenally successful PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE, winner of 22 Emmy's, and currently enjoying renewed success nightly on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

JUST MARKETING INTERNATIONAL and SIMMONS ABRAMSON made their united debut on October 5 at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) meeting in Orlando.

Zak Brown Co-Drives to Class Win at Britcar 24-hour Endurance Race

ZIONSVILLE, IN - (September 12, 2006) - Just Marketing International CEO, Zak Brown, and his teammates took home an impressive class win in the Britcar 24-hour endurance race in Silverstone, U.K. on September 10.

Returning to competition for the first time in over a year, Brown was part of a four-driver team racing a BMW M3 E46 GTR for the Moore International Motorsports (MIMS) team of Willie Moore. Brown co-drove with previous racing teammate and close friend, Richard Dean, along with Lawrence Tomlinson and David Cox. First in its class, the team finished a solid second-place overall in a 52-car field.

Brown and his teammates ran two-hour sessions, allowing changeovers and pit stops for refueling. With the exception of radio troubles and a brake problem late in the race, few difficulties occurred during the 24-hour competition. All drivers ran strong sessions despite the low-visibility caused by early morning fog and despite two unanticipated pit stops.

"What an awesome race," said Brown. "It felt great to get behind the wheel again despite a year away. A 24-hour race is physically and mentally draining, and our team persevered and delivered a win for Moore International Motorsports.  Richard (Dean) started the race and gave the car to me in first-place in class, I was just happy to be able to help keep it there."

Brown has previously raced professionally in the American Le Mans Series for sports cars and the single-seat, open-wheel competition in the Indy Lights and Formula Atlantic series. Teammates Dean and Tomlinson collaborated to help win the GT2 class at this year's 24-hour of Le Mans race in June.

"What a finish it was," said team owner Willie Moore. "Despite two unscheduled stops, the drivers worked so well together. I am really chuffed (delighted) and am ready to do it all again next year!"

Zak Brown to Race at Silverstone

Just Marketing International CEO to Take Driver's Seat

ZIONSVILLE, IN - (August 31, 2006) - A year after competing in the Britcar 24-hour endurance race, Just Marketing International CEO, Zak Brown, will again return to the driver's seat for the European Endurance Racing Club's 24-hour Britcar race in Silverstone, U.K. September 8-10.

Joining previous racing teammate and close friend, Richard Dean, Brown will also team with co-drivers Lawrence Tomlinson and Dave Cox. With over 80 teams entered in the race, Brown's team will compete under Moore International Motorsports (MIMS) with a highly-modified BMW M3 E46 GTR.

Brown, the founder of the thriving motorsports marketing agency, remains passionate about his pastime of full-time professional racing.  While he remains exclusively devoted to JMI, Brown's temporary return to racing is a tribute to the profession that served as his entrepreneurial launch pad.

"Just Marketing International and our clients are always my first priority," said Brown. "I'm proud of JMI and the success of our clients. However, the vision for Just Marketing began when I was racing professionally, and I'm excited for this rare opportunity to revisit my passion and race with friends."

Brown has previously raced professionally in the American Le Mans Series for sports cars and the single-seat, open-wheel competition in the Indy Lights and Formula Atlantic series.

The Willie Moore Team will qualify on Friday, September 8 at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire and commence racing at 4 p.m. Saturday, September 9.  Led by Willie Moore, Brown and his teammates will share two-hour driving stints.

"A 24-hour race is somewhat of a lottery," team leader Moore said, "but our full intention is to go out and win." Earlier this year, co-drivers Dean and Tomlinson won the renowned Le Mans 24 Hours in the GT2 class with British GT champion Tom Kimber-Smith.

The upcoming endurance race will be Britain's second annual hosting of the 24-hour endurance race. Spectators can view the 24-hour race via the Web at: http://www.eerc.co.uk/24hrsite/.

Just Marketing Execs Roar Ahead in Ranking of Formula One's Most Powerful

JMI's Zak Brown, John Hogan featured in cover story

ZIONSVILLE, IN - (July 21, 2006) - Featured as the cover story of BusinessF1's July issue, Just Marketing International's power combination of Zak Brown and John Hogan have again risen significantly on the Business F1's 2006 list of "150 Most Powerful People in Formula One."

Characterized as "Europe and America's best sponsorship activators," Brown, president and CEO of Just Marketing International (JMI), and Hogan, senior associate of global sponsorship at JMI, have moved to 33 and 40 on the annual Power List, respectively. Brown's leap to 33 is up 51 places from his 2005 ranking, when he ranked 84. Hogan previously ranked 41 in 2005. The feature story, "Hands across the Water," captures the account of how the "masters of activation" have joined hands through their JMI partnership, uniting Europe and America in motorsports sponsorship excellence.

Highlighting the chemistry between Brown and Hogan, the article credits 34-year-old Brown as "a preeminent sponsorship agent in NASCAR" and 63-year-old Hogan as "an acknowledged commercial expert in Formula One." The mixture of American and European insight Brown and Hogan bring to the industry makes them a potent duo for Just Marketing International, contributing to the success of JMI's Formula One clients, Johnnie Walker and Hilton International.

Brown's placing on the Power List positions him as the highest-ranked American, the youngest sponsorship agent and the second-youngest president on this year's list. A highly esteemed catalog of major industry players in F1, JMI's progressive presence on the Power List asserts its growing leverage in International motorsports. BusinessF1, a venerated monthly publication, is a leading international source for insight on the burgeoning Formula One industry.

"It's an enormous compliment to be featured in Business F1," said Brown. "John [Hogan] and I have a great deal of mutual respect for one another and we are devoted to being proactive in JMI's sponsorship cultivation. To ascend on the Power List is confirmation that Just Marketing International is a true global leader in motorsports."

The list details Brown's status by stating that he "has built his Just Marketing International subsidiary into one of Formula One's top sponsorship agencies in just a couple years," referring to JMI's Silverstone Circuit-based branch in the United Kingdom. Business F1 also describes Brown as an "all-around savvy marketing man" and Hogan as a man with "extraordinary energy and enthusiasm whose words are worth noting and are noted."

Of the 150, only six Americans made the list. Bernie Ecclestone, president of Formula One Management, ranked as the number one most powerful person in F1.
