INDY RACING CHAMP CALKINS TO CARRY OLYMPIC TORCH

INDY RACING CHAMP CALKINS TO CARRY OLYMPIC TORCH

DENVER, Wednesday, October 3, 2001 - Denver-native Buzz Calkins has been
selected by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC) and Chevrolet Motor
Division to carry the Olympic Torch in pre-Olympic festivities for the 2002
Winter Games. Calkins, a six-time Indianapolis 500 starter and 1996 Indy
Racing League co-champion, will carry the torch as it makes its way across
Colorado to Salt Lake City, Utah. The three-time marathon participant- two
New York and one Chicago Marathons- will carry the specially designed torch
on January 30th, day 56 of the 65-day relay. Friend and Buzz Calkins Fan
Club president Jill Pochik nominated Calkins for the honor. Pochik, of
Walled Lake, Michigan, chose Calkins for the inspiration that he gives
through not only his racing but also his charity work and dedication to
education.

 "I am still a little stunned by the whole thing," remarked the 30-year old
Indy Racing driver. "I have been fortunate to do some great things in my
life and this is definitely right at the top of the list. This is such an
honor and I want to thank Jill [Pochik] and the Torch Relay selection
committee for this opportunity. It would mean a lot if the country hadn't
gone through the events of September 11th but since everything that has
happened over the last couple of weeks I think it will be especially
meaningful. I think that the pride of being an American will be overwhelming
over the next couple of months going into and through the Olympics and the
Torch Relay is probably the best way to display this pride. This is one of
the greatest honors of my life and I am looking forward to representing the
United States, Colorado, my family and Indy Racing as I carry the Torch."

The nomination required a 50 to 100-word essay describing how Buzz
encourages others to greater achievement and overcoming adversity through
his work with charity Natural Ties, of which he a member of the board of
directors. She also explained how Buzz is an inspiration to not only his
community but to the world in his pursuit for excellence on the track and in
the classroom as an MBA recipient from the Kellogg Graduate School of
Management at Northwestern University. It was determined by the committee
that Calkins more than met the lofty criteria, which embody the
'inspirational spirit of the Olympic Movement.'

"I have never met anyone quite like Buzz," said Pochik. "He has every reason
to be arrogant and uncaring but he isn't. He is open and friendly to
everyone and he works so hard to go that extra-mile for people without ever
asking why or what is in it for him. As a matter of fact, he works to keep
his good deeds quiet instead of, like a lot of people, advertising them. I
don't think even Buzz knows how much he inspires people. When I heard that
they had accepted his nomination I was so happy for him. This is a great way
for a lot of us to say 'thank you' for all he has done for so many."

The Olympic Torch will be carried through 46 states on its way to Salt Lake
City. The Torch will be lit in Athens, Greece and make its way to the United
States where it will begin the Relay in Atlanta. The Olympic Torch will be
carried over 13,500 miles during the journey and will culminate in the Salt
Lake City Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies on February 8, 2002.
