Brett Favre Forces His Driving School to Include Passing

DENVER, N.C., Aug. 6 The Jarrett/Favre Driving Adventure, Inc. announced today that after months of insistence by part owner, Green Bay Quarterback Brett Favre, the school has completely reorganized in order to include passing as a key element of their programs.

"This is a great opportunity for us and our guests," said Glenn Jarrett, Chief Operating Officer of Jarrett/Favre. "The ability to pass other students significantly increases the similarities of an actual racing experience."

"In March we were pleased to be able to recruit Mr. Kelly Bussey from the Skip Barber Racing Experience. Mr. Bussey has had over 10 years of driving school experience, with the last three as President of Skip's oval program. Since arriving on scene Kelly has provided dynamic and positive leadership to our staff as we began the transition to passing. He has implemented this change from a "lead follow" format to an instructor dedicated to each student. This not only increases our revenue potential each track day by 100%, it also provides each student with a much more hands on learning experience. Kelly has also opened up the west coast for Jarrett/Favre where we will now be doing corporate outings and retail events in Los Angeles and San Francisco," said Tim Shannon, President of the Jarrett/Favre Driving Adventure.

"We are excited about the future for our company and satisfied that investors seem to be acknowledging our positive developments over the last 3 months," Shannon added. Owned in part by Dale Jarrett, Winston Cup Champion, Brett Favre, 3-time NFL MVP, and the Jarrett family, The Jarrett/Favre Driving Adventure, Inc. was incorporated in November of 1998 and is publicly traded under the symbol "JVTT."

Jarrett/Favre currently operates at 25 tracks across the United States, including Atlanta, Bristol, Chicago, Darlington, Fontana, Hickory, Kansas, Kentucky, Lowe's, Michigan, Milwaukee, Nashville, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Talladega.
