DON SCHUMACHER RACING
2006 NHRA POWERade DRAG RACING SERIES

INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 4, 2006) - Following weeks of evaluation of a number of
candidates and two days of testing two drivers at The Strip at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway, Don Schumacher has selected 31-year-old Sport Compact ace
Shaun Carlson to drive the Team Mopar/SRT Dodge Stratus in the Pro Stock
class of the 2006 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.

"Shaun brings a whole new perspective and image to our Pro Stock team," said
Schumacher. "He's young, hip and energetic and has demonstrated a strong
ability behind the wheel of not only a Sport Compact car but a Pro Stock car
as well. I'm delighted to have him join our team."

Carlson, of Alta Loma, Calif., drove a 2003 Dodge SRT-4 in the NHRA Xplod
Sport Compact Series, is a two-time winner in that class and has finished in
the top five in each season from 2003 to 2005.

Known for his innovation in FWD Drag Racing, Carlson made his NHRA Pro Stock
debut in 2004 at Pomona (Calif.) Raceway, subbing for an injured Darrell
Alderman in the Winternationals event.

He is also the 2002 Xbox Cup champion in the NOPI Pro Outlaw class and
president and founder of NUFORMZ, a 10-year-old company servicing the Sport
Compact marketplace.

Carlson joins Richie Stevens Jr. as teammate on DSR's two-car Pro Stock
team, each of which is tuned by the legendary Bob Glidden, and will continue
making test runs in the Dodge Stratus this weekend in Las Vegas.

"I am really excited about driving for Don Schumacher Racing this season,"
said Carlson. "I am also looking forward to working with Richie Stevens and
Bob Glidden. This is definitely a great opportunity for me to advance in my
career, and I hope to bring Bob Glidden and Don Schumacher great results."

"Wešre proud to have Shaun expand his role with Mopar, to include that of
NHRA Pro Stock driver,˛ said Kevin Miller, Senior Manager, Brand Strategy
and Performance for Mopar.

"We're looking forward to having Shaun join Richie Stevens Jr., Allen
Johnson and the expanded Mopar Pro Stock contingent in competition this
season. I believe that this team will help Mopar expand on its authentic
motorsports presence and give us yet another avenue to showcase our racing
endeavors."
