                KYLE KRISILOFF LOOKS STRONG FOR DORRICOTT AT MILWAUKEE

        WEST ALLIS, Wis. (May 29, 2003) -Kyle Krisiloff was hoping for a
quick-start to his Atlantic season when he recently joined Dorricott Racing
but nobody could have predicted what he achieved in his first official
track day.

        Krisiloff, 17, of Carmel, Ind., caught many off-guard as he cruised
the Milwaukee Mile during Atlantic's first-ever night practice with the
fourth fastest time of the session. In his first career Atlantic track
session on an oval, Krisiloff clicked off a time of 0:25.049 (148.335 mph)
around the 1.032-mile oval. This far surpassed his afternoon practice time
of 0:25.806 (143.967 mph), and resulted in his highest practice session
finish since joining Atlantic. In fact, Krisiloff's evening time was even
faster than Hoover Orsi's fastest afternoon practice lap of 0:25.107
(147.975 mph).

        Krisiloff is making his debut with Dorricott Racing at The
Milwaukee Mile in the US Grand Prix F1 Swift 014.a. He competed apart from
Dorricott Racing in the first two Atlantic races this season at Monterey
and Long Beach.

        Krisiloff either led or ran second fastest for much of the evening
session. His hopes for a "P-1" position in practice ended when Canadian
Jonathan Macri ran the sessions fastest time on the final practice lap at
0:24.902 (149.193 mph).

        "Today was a great day," said Krisiloff. "The switch to Dorricott
Racing was a good move all the way around. The entire crew is working their
tails off to make this work and it showed today. We had a push in the car
this afternoon. We re-evaluated the set-up and found where we could make
changes. We tried them and they worked. I knew going into the second
session that I had to drive flat. We were close in the afternoon session
but the car wasn't ready. I was confident the changes we made during the
break would work especially knowing most of the other cars would go faster
too. The track had more grip in the afternoon but it didn't help us much.
The track was different tonight but it wasn't any better or worse. I now
believe we have one of the better cars in this field but we have a ways to
go."

        Luis Diaz, of Mexico City, wasn't far behind after struggling
through the afternoon session with set-up issues. Diaz toured his
Telmex-Swift 014.a around The Mile for the eighth fastest lap of 0:25.357
(146.516 mph). This was significantly better, however, than his afternoon
time of 0:25.739 (144.341 mph. 

        "It could have been a better day but it wasn't too bad either,"
said Diaz. "We had some things we needed to fix with the set-up but we
worked it out. We improved with each lap so more track time will only help
me get lower times. I expect to have a good car for the race"

        Friday's Toyota Atlantic schedule at The Milwaukee Mile calls for
another 30-minute practice session beginning at 1:30 p.m. CT, and will be
