Caliber Collision Centers Sponsors Busch Grand National NASCAR Team for the Second Year in a Row

IRVINE, Calif.--April 25, 2002--Caliber Collision Centers, an Irvine-based operator of high-quality collision repair facilities in California and Texas, announced an agreement for the second year in a row to sponsor Jay Robinson Racing car #49 to be driven by Andy Kirby in the National Association for Stock Car Racing (NASCAR) Busch Grand National series. The Jay Robinson Racing car #49 finished an impressive sixth place last week at Talladega.

As part of the agreement, the Caliber logo will be prominently displayed on the hood, sides and the rear of the car at the Auto Club 300 NASCAR Busch Grand National series race on April 27, 2002 at the California Speedway in Fontana. Caliber's identification on the car recognizes the dedicated and technically skilled men and women of the Caliber team who provide outstanding customer service and quality repairs to insurance clients and consumers, and whose passion for automobiles includes the excitement of NASCAR racing.

The Caliber-Jay Robinson Racing sponsorship will generate increased awareness of Caliber's brand due to NASCAR's increasing popularity. This partnership further exemplifies the team-oriented approach valued by both organizations.

``We are thrilled to have Caliber back as the sponsor of the #49 team for the second year in a row,'' said Jay Robinson. ``Jay Robinson Racing has been built on the foundation of teamwork and innovation, and the Caliber organization absolutely embodies those principles. We are excited to be working with the Caliber team.''

According to Matthew Ohrnstein, Caliber's chairman and chief executive officer, the widely recognized NASCAR Busch Grand National circuit is a perfect venue to gain market visibility.

``The Caliber team and our insurance partners have been enthusiasts of NASCAR racing for many years,'' said Ohrnstein. ``We are excited to support Jay Robinson Racing again as a sponsor of the #49 team.''
