TIM WOODS 111 UPDATE ... "WELCOME TO NELLYVILLE"

TIM WOODS III JOINS FORCES WITH HIP HOP STAR NELLY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JUNE 24, 2002

NASCAR Winston West driver Tim Woods III has entered
into a ground breaking promotional partnership with
Universal Music Hip Hop Artist, Nelly.

Nelly who sold 14 million copies of his debut album
"Country Grammar" is a die hard fan of stock car
racing.  Nelly has endorsed Woods in his racing
efforts and is showing his support by being the
primary sponsor on the #54 Ford Taurus.  "Welcome to Nellyville" will appear on the hood, which will coincide with the album's release on Tuesday, June 25, 2002.  The rear quarter panels will have Nelly's apparel company "VOKAL", and the rear deck lid will have "Team Lunatics", which is Nelly's management company.

"I am a huge fan of Nelly, and am very excited about
this partnership. With Nelly's support and visibility,
together we can make history by giving me an
opportunity to be the first African American in the
Busch Series," says Woods

Music and motor sports opens a new avenue to the world
of sports marketing.  This partnership goes beyond the
classic sponsorship opportunity.  The synergy between
Nelly's music fans, Nelly's apparel company "VOKAL"
and Woods' NASCAR fan base, offers a very diverse
audience reach.  The crossover potential is limitless.

Look for Nelly, Tim Woods and the #54 car at the
"Nellyville" release party on Tuesday, June 25, 2002
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
