Hooters to Extend Sponsorship with Brett Bodine
 

            Atlanta, GA (March 13, 2002) - Atlanta based Hooters Restaurants announced it has reached an agreement with Brett Bodine Racing to continue sponsoring the #11 Hooters Ford in the Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 NASCAR Winston Cup race this Sunday at Darlington Raceway. 

            This will be the second consecutive race Hooters has sponsored the Winston Cup team owned by Bodine. Hooters sponsored Bodine last Sunday during the running of the MBNA America 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway where he finished 38th after motor problems ended his day on lap 276.

            "We are really excited about extending our partnership," said Bodine. "It is great to see Mr. Brooks and Hooters taking an interest in our race team. We are happy they have decided to get involved with our race team and we hope this turns into a long-term relationship."

            Hooters Restaurants also sponsors the Hooters ProCup Series that features full-size steel-bodied stock cars that compete on short tracks throughout the Eastern United States and Canada. Hooters has actively been involved in various forms of stock car racing sponsorship since 1991.
