DAYTONA ADDED TO 2002 PRO SPEC RACER SCHEDULE

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (February 28, 2002)-SCCA Pro Racing(r) announced today
that it has added Daytona International Speedway to its 2002 Pro Spec Racer
schedule.

            Round Eight is slated at Daytona, November 8-10, in a pairing
with the Grand American Road Racing Association in the Grand-Am Finale
Weekend.

            "We are very pleased to secure Daytona due to the unfortunate
circumstances which lead to the cancellation of the Chicago Motor Speedway
date," said Mitch Wright, SCCA Pro Racing Vice President and General
Manager. "With this addition, the Pro Spec Racer series schedule is really
shaping up." 

            The SCCA Pro Racing Pro Spec Racer series features identical,
purpose-built SCCA Spec Racer open-cockpit, closed-wheel cars. The PSR is
intended to provide very tight competition at reasonable costs. In 2002, the
series will begin its ninth season of competition, offering up-and-coming
drivers a chance to compete at a professional level on temporary street
circuits, permanent road courses and ovals.
