WHY:              American Suzuki Motor Corp. (ASMC) is the first-ever 
                  "presenting" sponsor of the Heisman Memorial Trophy 
                  by its Automotive, Motorcycle and Marine divisions. 
                  2002 marks the fourth year ASMC has partnered with 
                  the Heisman Trophy and the Downtown Athletic Club 
                  (DAC), which created and annually presents the 
                  Heisman Trophy Award.

                  Suzuki also established www.voteheisman.com to allow
                  fans to cast an official counted vote in this year's
                  Heisman race and to check how players rank in the
                  fan balloting. Different than other Heisman Web
                  sites, www.voteheisman.com is the only opportunity
                  for the public to cast an official Heisman vote. All
                  other sites only offer fan polls.
