DECEMBER 27, 2005


             Robert Mayson of Lakewood, Calif. has been named Publicity 
Coordinator for USAC's CRA Sprint Car Series.

             Mayson, a 41-year-old whose involvement in the sport of sprint 
car racing spans most of his life, holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 
Communications/Public Relations from California State University in 
Fullerton and has covered the sport for numerous publications, including 
the Los Angeles Times, National Speed Sport News, Racing Wheels, Area Auto 
Racing News and MotoRacing.

             Between 1996 and 2004 Mayson served as the Director of Media 
and Public Relations for the Sprint Car Racing Association and he has 
attended sprint car races in California on a regular basis for the past 
three decades.

             "It's a tremendous privilege to be a small part of the USAC 
team," he says. "When I consider the rich history and the names who have 
competed under the USAC and CRA banners, I am humbled by this opportunity. 
I look forward to assisting in efforts to expand the media coverage and 
recognition for what I consider one of America's premier racing series. I 
truly believe there isn't a more exciting form of racing on our planet and 
this series features some of the finest talent and equipment you'll find 
anywhere in the country on a weekly basis."

             Mayson will work directly with USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series 
Coordinator Chris Morgan, who is delighted to have Mayson's talents at his 
disposal. "He has a sincere interest in and appreciation for this type of 
racing and his media skills will be valuable assets as we continue to 
elevate this series," said Morgan. "I'm pleased to welcome him to the USAC 
team and we look forward to a long association. I would be remiss if I 
didn't also thank Ken Wagner, our retiring 2005 publicity coordinator, for 
his assistance during the past season and we wish him well in his future 
endeavors."
