           Auto Club 500 Replaces NAPA Auto Parts 500 as Event Name

    FONTANA, Calif., Feb. 10 -- The Automobile Club of Southern
California today signed a multi-year agreement to be the title sponsor for the
April NASCAR Winston Cup Series race at the Southern California-based
superspeedway.
    The Auto Club 500 is scheduled for April 27, 2003, at California Speedway.
    California Speedway President Bill Miller and Automobile Club of Southern
California President and CEO Thomas V. McKernan Jr. made the announcement.
    "The partnership between the Automobile Club of Southern California and
California Speedway continues to grow," said Miller.  "Auto Club has been a
tremendous partner since the speedway opened in 1997.  They have added
California Speedway, and in particular this NASCAR Winston Cup Series race, to
their legacy as leaders in motorsports sponsorship and development.  With the
Auto Club's vast resources and large membership base, we are confident the
Auto Club 500 will continue as one of the most anticipated events in Southern
California and on the NASCAR Winston Cup circuit."
    An original California Speedway corporate partner, The Auto Club's
relationship with California Speedway began in 1997 with the Auto Club 200
Inaugural NASCAR Winston West Series race.  The company moved its sponsorship
to the NASCAR Busch Series race in 1999 with the Auto Club 300, continuing
with that event through the 2002 race.  Auto Club replaces NAPA as the title
sponsor.
    "For the Automobile Club of Southern California, our rich motorsports
heritage dates back one hundred years to 1903 and the Huntington Cup event on
a dirt track at Exposition Park," said McKernan. "Now, a full century later,
we are proud to author a new chapter in our legacy with title sponsorship of
this prestigious NASCAR Winston Cup event hosted by a world-class facility --
the Auto Club 500 at California Speedway.
    "The automobile has played an integral role in the Southern California
lifestyle, and interwoven throughout is the immense popularity of motorsports
and NASCAR," continued McKernan.  "Here at the Auto Club, our credo  'We're
Always With You' is as applicable within the gates of California Speedway as
it is on our city streets and highways. An event of this magnitude offers us
tremendous marketing visibility with an outstanding opportunity to expand our
brand awareness, broaden our membership base and create additional value for
our existing members."
     The Automobile Club of Southern California will have a sponsorship
presence at all of California Speedway's 2003 events, including the April 4-6
