RAUDMAN PREPARING WINNING CAR FOR SEARS POINT

Rancho Santa Margarita, California (June 18, 2001) - The last time Craig
Raudman, driver of Dave Reed Racing's #2 Yerf-dog Fun Karts/ITPS/Kingston
Chevrolet in the Featherlite Southwest Series, NASCAR Touring and NASCAR
Winston West Series, took his favorite Victory Circle road course car out
onto a race track, he left a winner.

That was almost one year ago, when Raudman won the Los Angeles Ford Street
Race and collected record-breaking prize money for his efforts.

Now, Raudman is preparing that same car for this Saturday's Snap-On Tools
200 at Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., and hopes it will give him the
edge he needs for another win at the 1.949-mile road course.

Raudman's last win at Sears Point in 1997 capped an incredible day, one in
which the team turned a potentially disastrous wreck during a practice
session into a winning effort.

"This car is built to win," Raudman said. "It's one of my Victory Circle
cars, which we have dedicated for road courses. With the year we've had so
far, our history at Sears Point and with this car under me, we feel we are
ready and due for another win."

Raudman has a strong record at Sears Point in addition to his 1997 win. In
1998, he finished in fourth place in an early Winston West effort and, in
1991, he competed at Sears Point in his very first Southwest Series race,
finishing in an incredible third place. Raudman has also collected two
second-place finishes at Sears Point over the years.

Raudman's 2001 season to date has been very successful, with two wins and
four top five finishes to add to his stat sheet, as well as a
record-breaking string of five consecutive Bud Pole Awards. He is currently
second in the Series' point standings.
