> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
>
> DANNY ABOLD AND PROGRESSIVE RACING READY FOR PROCUP
> NORTH RUN AT ILLIANA
>
> Team ready to race after escaping Jennerstown fracus
>
> SYRACUSE, NY (April 23, 2002) - Danny Abold and his
> Progressive Racing Team will be returning to action
> this coming Saturday night at the Illiana Motor
> Speedway in the Miller Lite 250 and for Danny it means
> another opportunity to show the world that his team
> has what it takes to win. "We had a really good race
> going for us at Jennerstown and I think we proved that
> we can run our car up front. We were pretty happy with
> the run we had and had a chance to run up front for a
> while. I just have to believe that if we hadn't been
> spun out on the front stretch, we had a pretty good
> chance at a top 5 finish, the car was just that good,"
> Danny said in an interview after the Jennerstown
> maylay. "So we're looking to do well this weekend and
> really make a statement."
>
>    Abold's team was able to leave Jennerstown with a
> minimal amount of damage, so they are in pretty good
> shape coming into the Illiana event. "The hardest part
> of this right now is that we are still trying to lock
> down a primary sponsor on our car. We have a few deals
> we think will work, but we haven't found the right
> primary sponsor yet. Once we do, I know we can give
> them all the positive exposure a sponsor can dream
> of," and he has all the facilities to back that up.
>
>    Unlike most USAR ProCup teams, Abold has ready
> access to  engine and chassis dynos to help him fine
> tune his car. He also has a separate 5000 square foot
> shop with a spray booth where he fabricates and
> finishes his cars - facilities that the average ProCup
> teams only dream of. "This let's us keep tighter
> control over what is being done on our car", Danny
> said, "and we think this should demonstrate that we're
> not only serious about being in this series, but being
> a real benefit to any sponsor we hook up with."
>
>    "I'm looking forward to being back at Illiana,"
> Danny said of the upcoming race. "I like the track and
> the fans are some of the best on the circuit - they
> really pack out the stands. Hopefully we'll have a
> chance to give them a really good show." Be sure to
> keep your eyes open for Danny's red, white, and blue
> #6 Monte Carlo.
