Zantrex-3(TM) Sponsors Kalitta Motorsports' Top Fuel Dragster

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 27, 2005 -- Zantrex-3, the nation's most successful high-energy weight loss formula, announced today it is sponsoring Kalitta Motorsports' Top Fuel Dragster driven by "Aussie Dave" Grubnic for the complete 2005 season. The Zantrex-3 sponsorship is one of the few by a non-traditional company in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA).

"The alignment of Zantrex-3 with Top Fuel racing is intuitive -- Top Fuel racing is all about energy and rapid results, just like Zantrex-3," said Gina Gay, Marketing Director of Zoller(TM) Laboratories, maker of Zantrex-3. "Top Fuel racing has so much energy and excitement, we foresee it as the next 'big thing' in the world of racing. We're proud to be the first non-traditional sponsor of this rapidly growing sport."

Zantrex-3's non-ephedra formula creates unrivaled rapid weight loss and extreme energy. The leading diet supplement utilizes a two-pronged approach, combining a clinically proven weight loss compound with a powerful xanthine-based stimulant to give increased energy and results.

"This is the most exciting time of my career," said Grubnic. "I can't explain how great it feels to be driving a Top Fuel dragster for Kalitta Motorsports and Zantrex-3. We were fortunate enough to have Zantrex-3 come on board with us at the end of the 2004 season and we knew then that we make a good match. They are excellent partners for our race team and I am so looking forward to representing them both on and off the race track."

The Zantrex-3 Top Fuel car is wrapped in the familiar blue packaging of the Zantrex-3 bottles and already led Grubnic to his first NHRA win at the Budweiser Shootout at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in November. Grubnic flew from one end of the raceway to the other in 4.501 seconds at 328.46 mph, taking the top winnings of $100,000. The win was the first major win in Grubnic's 10-year career. Grubnic will drive the Zantrex-3 car for all 23 races of the 2005 season.

"The growth and popularity of Zantrex-3 has skyrocketed, particularly among a younger, active segment, many of whom are racing fans," said Gay. "We look forward to a long and successful sponsorship with NHRA and Kalitta Motorsports."

Top Fuel cars travel a quarter-mile drag strip in less than 4.5 seconds at over 330 mph, accelerating from 0 to 100 mph in less than .8 seconds -- faster than a fighter jet.
