FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


WOODSIDE HOPES TO OVERTAKE
SOUTHWEST SERIES POINTS LEAD AT IRWINDALE


June 4, 2002 (Saugus, Calif.) - With just two points separating him from the
top spot in the 2002 Featherlite Southwest Series, NASCAR Touring
championship battle, this Saturday's K & N Performance Filters "150" at
Irwindale (Calif.) Speedway could be pivotal for driver Sean Woodside.

With the success Woodside has had at Irwindale in the past, he and his crew
feel confidant of a solid performance Saturday night.

"We've got a lot of experience at Irwindale," Woodside commented. "We were
there almost every Saturday night last year, and we know what we need to
do."

Woodside won the 2001 championship in Irwindale Speedway's Super Late Model
division, clinching the title with one race still on the schedule and after
missing a race early in the season that conflicted with an event in his then
primary series, the NASCAR Winston West Series.

Woodside's qualifying lap in last November's JaniKing 250 Presented by NAPA
at Irwindale gave him his fifth Bud Pole Award for the season, clinching the
annual award for the most poles in the Winston West Series in 2001.

Additionally, Woodside has accumulated several top-five finishes and Bud
Pole Awards over the years at Irwindale in both Winston West and Southwest
Series cars.

The K & N Performance Filters "150" is the sixth of 14 events on the 2002
Southwest Series schedule. The race will be televised tape-delayed on the
Speed Channel on June 17, 2002.
