             Sharp wins Texas race for second consecutive season

    FORT WORTH, Texas, June 11 Scott Sharp, sponsored by
Delphi Automotive Systems , has won the Casino Magic 500 race for
the second straight year here Saturday, June 9.  Sharp took the checkered flag
with an average speed of 150.873 miles per hour.

    The victory is Scott's sixth title in the Indy Racing Northern Light
Series, making him the winningest driver in IRL history.  A six-year veteran
of the circuit, Sharp's previous victories include Texas (2000), Atlanta
(1999), Phoenix and Dover (1998), and New Hampshire (1996).
    Delphi has been the lead sponsor for Sharp for the past four seasons.
    "We're extremely proud to share this victory with Scott Sharp and Kelley
Racing," said Bill Lafontaine, Delphi's director of marketing and customer
development.  "Scott's victory demonstrates not only the high quality of our
products, but also reinforces our commitment to motorsports as an important
venue for product development."
    Delphi, the official electronics provider to the IRL, has been involved in
open-wheel racing since 1988 to research and develop technologies to help
improve driver safety.  Today, a majority of the vehicles in the IRL are
equipped with several of Delphi's racing products.
    Highlights include the following:
    *  Gen IV Engine Control Module (ECM) - Delphi's fourth-generation ECM
helps bring to racecars a new level of sophistication in engine controls with
enhancements over the previous model, including a feature that automatically
limits the speed of the racecar when traveling through racecourse pits.  Other
improvements include a faster, 32-bit microprocessor (giving better and faster
data to engineers monitoring the engine's performance) and a higher-level
software programming language that makes it easier for future improvements to
be implemented.  Delphi is currently supplying more than 90 percent of IRL
cars with the Gen IV ECM;
    *  Accident Data Recorder (ADR2) - senses and records key vehicle
parameters at 1,000 samples per second just prior to, during, and after an
accident-triggering event;
    *  Coil Driver Module - when commanded by the Gen IV ECM, this unit
precisely supplies more than 360 volts to the coils of each of the eight spark
plugs and eliminates the need for a mechanical distributor;
    *  Track Condition Radio - alerts drivers with critical information by
transmitting messages from race control to the racecar.  A dash-mounted
display communicates messages including safety warnings, track condition and
pits opened/closed;
    *  Radio Telemetry Module - transmits engine and chassis data from a
speeding racecar to race team engineers located in the pits.  The telemetry
module helps enhance driver safety and race team strategy by making real-time
data available.
    *  Multec(R) Bottom Feed Methanol Electronic Fuel Injector - provides a
high flow rate and a low profile package that are ideal for port fuel racing
applications.  The injector is able to operate at high temperatures and
provide a high level of spray atomization;
    *  Connectors, Cables and Terminals - Connectors are coupling devices that
provide an electrical and mechanical connection/disconnection in a system.
Cables are insulated electrical conductors.  Terminals are devices attached to
the end of a wire to facilitate electrical connections.  All of these Delphi
components enable a vehicle's electrical/electronic system to function under
the tough conditions in racing.

    Delphi Automotive Systems is driving tomorrow's technology through its
active role in the Indy Racing League, notably through its sponsorship of
Kelley Racing's drivers Sharp and teammate Mark Dismore through 2001.  Delphi
also recently announced its title sponsorship of the Delphi Indy 300, to be
held at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., on Sept. 2, 2001.
