                        DORRICOTT RACING PREPS FOR MILWAUKEE BEHIND
                THE MOMENTUM OF DAMIEN FAULKNER AND TOWNSEND BELL 

        SUNNYVALE, Calif. (May 30, 2001) - If early season momentum offers
hints of what is to come, then Dorricott Racing might be again charting a
championship course as its talented three-driver team prepares for the
famed Milwaukee Mile and round four of the 12-race Dayton Indy Lights
Championship, Sunday, June 3.

        The 100 lap/103.2 mile Indy Lights sprint is scheduled to begin at
12:15 p.m. (CT) and is the primary weekend support race to the Miller Lite
225 CART FedEx Championship Series race later that day.

        Townsend Bell, of San Luis Obispo, Calif., will make his second
career Indy Lights appearance at Milwaukee holding second place in the Indy
Lights driver standings. Bell, who won at Long Beach in round two and
earned second place in the season opener at Monterrey, finished sixth place
in last year's race at The Mile. He trails series leader Derek Higgins, of
Ireland, by 11 points, 52 to 41.

        Damien Faulkner, of Moville, Ireland, extended Dorricott Racing's
podium finishes in 2001 to three-straight by winning the pole and the race
at Texas Motor Speedway in round three. Faulkner led 65 of 67 laps before
crossing the finish line 0.349-seconds ahead of fellow Irishman Higgins.
What distinguished his victory was he had never previously raced on an oval
let alone a superspeedway. 

        Faulkner's win at Texas made him the first driver to win both the
pole position and the race in his oval track debut since Mario Dominguez's
win at Homestead (Fla.) in 1999.  Faulkner has a remarkable finishing
record that has seen him fail to finish only twice in 56 races over the
last three years of race competitions. The victory was Dorricott Racing's
second consecutive win and 10th team victory in 206 starts. Faulkner moved
to sixth place in the championship with 28 points.

        Faulkner's win also propelled Ireland into the Nation's Cup lead
with 58 points. The United States is in second place with 41 points.

        If any Indy Lights driver is due for an uninterrupted high finish,
it has to be Dorricott Racing's third driver, Jon Fogarty, of Portola
Valley, Calif. Fogarty made an auspicious Indy Lights debut at Monterrey
when he piloted his Fogarty Winery & Vineyards Lola to third place.

        The 2000 Barber Dodge Pro Series runner-up was stung at Long Beach,
however, through no fault of his when he was rear-ended and sidelined by
Danish driver Kristian Kolby in the first corner on the race start. Kolby's
error also cost Faulkner a chance for a good debut at Long Beach as Kolby
took Faulkner out too. 

        Fogarty was again victimized by another's negligence at Texas Motor
Speedway. Dan Wheldon, of England, attempted an outside pass of Bell on lap
52. Faulkner and Bell were running in first and second place, and
nose-to-tail at the time with less than a car length separating them.
Wheldon attempted to force his way between them anyway. The result was
disastrous. He plowed his left front wheel into Bell's right front wing and
then slid sideways and perpendicular into Bell's DirecPC Lola. Wheldon
ripped Bell's front wings apart before spinning away. Bell maintained
control and continued to pit lane for repairs. 

        Wheldon then spun into Fogarty and slammed him against the outside
wall. Both drivers were uninjured but Fogarty was saddled with another
unearned "DNF." Fogarty finished ninth place but proved he was more than
capable of fast times on a superspeedway. He turned the fastest lap of the
race at Texas with a time of 0:28.306 = 188.483 mph. Fogarty comes to
Milwaukee in seventh place with 19 points.

        Milwaukee is round two of the Bosch Platinum +4 Speedway Challenge
Award that pays $10,000 to the driver accumulating the most points in
2001's six oval track events. Faulkner leads with 22 points.
