Press Release Body = JENKINS JOINS PRA \"BIG CAR\" SERIES

ANDERSON INDIANA-Veteran motor sports broadcaster Bob Jenkins has joined the Premier
Racing Association as Director of Communications. Jenkins has spent the last 30
years in various capacities in auto racing broadcasting. We couldn\'t be more excited
about Bob joining our \'Big Car\' series\", stated the PRA\'s Jason Smith. \"Adding him
to our staff gives us credibility and someone whose knowledge and enthusiasm about
auto racing is second to none.\" Jenkins has worked in various broadcast positions
including play-by-play for the Nascar Nextel Cup Series, play-by-play and host of
the Indy Racing League Indy Car Series, and most recently studio co-host of Speed
News on the Speed Channel. \"I had been looking for other opportunities in auto
racing\", stated Jenkins \"and this represents the perfect solution for me\". The
Premier Racing Association will begin sanctioning the \"Big Car National Championship
Series\" beginning May 17th at Indianapolis Raceway Park. The Series will provide car
owners an opportunity to race their old generation Silver Crown cars on pavement.

Although I love all types of racing, this kind of open wheel competition always has
been my favorite. One of the attractive aspects of this series is the fact that PRA
events will be held on either Tuesday or Wednesday nights in 2006. and so will not
directly compete with events involving the new generation cars\". said Jenkins. \"And
with over 60 registered teams from last year, it\'s a series that has a solid base of
car owners and fans.\"

In his new job Jenkins will be responsible for public and media relations for the
PRA. \"I\'ve been on the other side of the microphone and know what members of the
media need and want. I\'m looking forward to working with them, and listening to race
fans to make sure they have an enjoyable experience at PRA events.\" Jason McCord, a
former open wheel competitor, and one of the founders of the Premier Racing
Association stated, \"Bob called many races that I competed in during the old ESPN
thunder series. He\'s a pioneer in auto racing broadcasting, and will be a valuable
addition to our series.\" Seven races are on the schedule for the inaugural \"Big Car
National Championship\" season. \"Jason Smith and Jason McCord have promised some
surprise visits from drivers involved in other series, but whose schedules will
permit an appearance for a mid-week race\". said Jenkins. \"It\'s going to be BIG and
I\'m thrilled and excited to be a part of it.\"
