CORR AND VP RACING FUELS ANNOUNCE 3-YEAR SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT Newport Beach (July 31, 2006)””Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) and VP Racing Fuels, Inc. have announced their intention to enter a three-year sponsorship agreement, effective immediately. “We are pleased that VP Racing Fuels is the new Official Fuel of CORR,” said Jim Baldwin, the owner of CORR, “and we are looking forward to a mutually beneficial three-year partnership.” The announcement came one day after Sunoco’s sponsorship of the 2006 series ended. Sunoco sponsored the first three weekends of the 2006 Lucas Oil Racing Series. VP Racing Fuels will sponsor the remaining five weekends in 2006 and the entire 2007 and 2008 race seasons. “VP is equally enthusiastic about this new marketing opportunity and to be associated with a high profile race series such as CORR,” said Bruce Hendel, VP’s Global Sales Manager. “VP Racing’s complete product line is a perfect match for the many different engine configurations used by CORR competitors. VP’s Late Model Plus produces more power and less heat than any competitor’s products for high compression and high horsepower engines used in the PRO 2 and PRO 4 classes,” adds Hendel. CORR’s partnership with VP Racing has many synergies, with many CORR drivers already using VP fuels. In addition to a large distributor network, VP recently began selling fuel to consumers at eight retail gas stations in Southern California. The company expects to have four more VP-branded gas stations by the end of the year. “The marketing opportunities to cross-promote with VP will help CORR reach a larger audience of enthusiasts who use high performance fuels,” said Baldwin. VP Racing will service CORR race teams at all remaining events for the balance of the season. Teams that need fuel can order directly from VP by contacting Russ Hallett or Kelley Hendel at 951-674-9167 or by faxing orders to 951-674-7367. An order form will also be available soon on CORR’s website — www.corracing.com. VP Racing has manufactured the best fuels for motorsports since 1975. With more than 60 unique blends, VP has fueled champions in virtually every racing category and class — from circle track, drag racing and road racing to off-road, off-shore and even airplane racing. In race venues not controlled by a fuel rule, VP consistently fuels more winners than any other American fuel company. VP has been the fuel of choice for NHRA Pro Stock Champions for 30 consecutive years, a record unmatched by any sponsor in the industry. In addition to being the Official Racing Fuel of CORR, VP is the Official Racing Fuel of Best in the Desert and the Baja Pro Truck Off-Road Race Series as well as a contingency sponsor of SCORE International Off-Road Racing and SNORE (Southern Nevada Off-Road Enthusiasts).
