                KRISILOFF  FRACTIONS AWAY FROM WINNING AT MILWAUKEE
                                Blown Motor Spoils Luis Diaz's Race 

        WEST ALLIS, Wis. (May 31, 2003) - Kyle Krisiloff, of Indianapolis,
scored an Atlantic career best finish of second place in Saturday's third
round of the 12-race Toyota Atlantic Championship at The Milwaukee Mile. 

        Meanwhile, teammate Luis Diaz, of Mexico City, fell victim of
circumstances for a third consecutive race but this time to a "blown
motor." Diaz suffered poor finishes in the first two events of the year
when other drivers literally "took him out" of those races. The saddest
part of Diaz's premature ending to his Milwaukee race was he was running
the third fastest lap times of any car on the track. 

        Krisiloff, who started fourth, improved to second place within four
laps of the 70-lap race start but fell short of victory by a mere
0.399-seconds to second-year driver Ryan Dalziel, of Scotland. 

        Dalziel started from the pole based on best overall practice times
due to Friday's qualifying session being rained out. Dalziel made the most
of his "point" spot but never led enough to keep Krisiloff out of his wing
mirrors at any time. 

        A nightmare struck Canadian Michael Valiante on the first lap when
he attempted  to pass rookie Aaron Justus on the inside of Turn 1. Sour
handling resulted in his losing traction before engaging in a full
360-degree spin. Valiante avoided contact with the wall and other cars but
his pirouette brought a yellow flag. Krisiloff, on the other hand,
successfully passed A.J. Allmendinger for third place.

        Dalziel's re-start on lap four was flawless but he couldn't shake
Krisiloff. The 17-year-old Dorricott driver got a strong run off of Turn 4
and passed Jonathan Macri around the outside for second place. Afterwards,
it was mostly a "catch me if you can" type of race between Dalziel and
Krisiloff around the 1.032-mile oval albeit Krisiloff was "nose-to-gearbox"
most of the contest. 

        "On the re-start, Ryan had a technique of weaving and changing
speeds so I didn't get a good read of when he was going to go," said
Krisiloff. "When he took off, I got a decent jump but I hit my rev limiter
and lost a little ground. I made a few poor judgments on where to go or
when to hit the power but the car's set-up was outstanding so I was able to
make up the lost time."

        If not for solid maneuvering to thwart Krisiloff's passing
attempts, Dalziel could have easily lost the race as Krisiloff's U.S. Grand
Prix Formula One Swift 014.a was clearly faster. In fact, Krisiloff turned
the fastest lap of the race on three different occasions before flying to a
one lap record for Toyota Atlantic cars at The Milwaukee Mile on Lap 54 at
150.749 mph (24.645 sec.). This eclipsed Ryan Hunter-Reay's previous record
of 150.036 mph (24.762 sec.) established during 2002 qualifying.

        It was Krisiloff's career-best Atlantic finish and significantly
higher than his previous  Atlantic best of ninth at Long Beach in April.
The podium was made sweeter in that it was Krisiloff's debut with 2002
Toyota Atlantic Champion Dorricott Racing  

        "When I joined Dorricott Racing a couple of weeks ago, we tested
right away at Portland," said Krisiloff. "It went really well so we
believed things would get even better at  Milwaukee. However, we never
thought we'd score a podium finish. We expected to run among the top-10 and
maybe even break into the top five. We most wanted a good car for the race.
The entire team worked hard to put together the best car it could. We
evaluated and re-evaluated how the car was running and what might make it
faster both in traffic and solo. We came right off the truck with a good
car but we still fine tuned it. It didn't run as well in traffic as we
would have liked so I couldn't close in on Dalziel at times. When alone
this car was fast. Had I been able to qualify we may have had a different
and better result. This was the best we had today."

        Diaz was arguably the most disappointed of any driver particularly
because a blown motor ended his race with less than a third of the race
remaining. The Telmex Swift 014.a was the third fastest car on the track at
any given time. Diaz's ninth place start was deceiving because he was "on
the pole" when rain thrashed The Mile midway through  Friday's qualifying
thereby deleting any official qualifying results. Diaz was poised to move
into the top-five when a valve lifter gave out.

        "We started the weekend with motor problems," said Diaz.
"Unfortunately, we ended up with motor problems during the race when it
blew. There were problems with my oil temperature and some other things. I
couldn't finish the race which was a shame because the Telmex Swift was
fast. I lost ground on the championship but I feel good going back to
Laguna Seca and Portland because Dorricott Racing has consistently done
really well at both tracks. I expect to put together a string of good races
and get back into the hunt. I just need more help from the engines."

        Allmendinger moved into first place in the driver standings with 44
points. Krisiloff scooted into eighth place with 23 points. Diaz is ninth
with 20 points.
