'03 CHEVY RACE CAR UNVEILED
WITH NEW GM GOODWRENCH PAINT SCHEME

CHARLOTTE, NC - Oct. 10, 2002- Chevrolet today unveiled the all-new 2003
Chevrolet Monte Carlo race car prior to the UAW-GM Quality 500 NASCAR
Winston Cup race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. The race car was dressed in the
new GM Goodwrench paint scheme by Richard Childress Racing (RCR), GM Service
and Parts Operations (GMSPO), and Chevrolet.

NASCAR officials approved the specifications of the '03 Monte Carlo model in
August, and today RCR offered the first glimpse of the popular No. 29 GM
Goodwrench Chevy that Kevin Harvick will continue to pilot in next year's
Winston Cup Series.

The 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup season will mark the 18th year that GM
Goodwrench has been a winning member of the Richard Childress Racing
organization.  In 1985, GM Goodwrench entered NASCAR as an associate sponsor
of RCR, and in 1988 became a primary sponsor. Continuing to lead the field,
GM Goodwrench and RCR hold the record with the longest active relationship
between a primary sponsor and a NASCAR team.

While retaining the familiar GM Goodwrench flagship colors, the '03 paint
scheme features more black than silver on the hood, roof, and rear deck.  A
striking touch of neon red emphasizes the bold wing-like graphics on each
side and punctuates the number 29. The high-tech graphics denote a spirited
look befitting of Harvick, his GM Goodwrench team, and all the GM dealers.


Duane Miller, General Director GM Parts Sales: "We were looking for a more
aggressive approach to showcase the GM Goodwrench logo and with the new
paint scheme on the No. 29 race car, we believe we've found it. We've come a
long way since the GM Goodwrench car was introduced in 1988.  Beginning next
year, all GM dealers will become members of the Goodwrench family and we
intend to go to market with industry-leading levels of advertising. The aim
is to help consumers further associate Goodwrench with professionalism and
expert service.

"In essence, our association and relationship with Winston Cup and the RCR
teams is a great example of our overall advertising push for 2003 -
aggressive, focused and driving for results. Goodwrench is proud to continue
our association with RCR and Kevin Harvick in taking Goodwrench to another
level."

Comments by Kurt Ritter, Chevy General Manager: "We think this '03 race car
is going to be a real hit with the fans. The new model is unmistakably Monte
Carlo with its distinct and sporty style. We are suitably impressed with the
new look of this race car.

"Chevrolet has had the good fortune of being associated with Richard
Childress for 17 years, and RCR has put us in victory lane time and time
again. We're really looking forward to our 18th year with RCR and to
continuing as the most successful nameplate in NASCAR Winston Cup
competition in 2003 and beyond."

Comments by Richard Childress, CEO of Richard Childress Racing: "Richard
Childress Racing has worked long and hard with Chevrolet in order to get the
new Monte Carlo ready for next season, and we're very proud of the final
product.  General Motors has been a very important part of the success of
RCR over the years, with both the GM Goodwrench program and on the Chevrolet
side. We're honored to unveil our 2003 No. 29 GM Goodwrench paint scheme
with the new '03 Chevrolet Monte Carlo model."
