Baker Makes ASA Debut at Illiana with Lorz Motorsports

Pendleton, Ind. (September 11, 2003) ? Southern late model standout Regan Baker of
Alabama  will  make  his  ASA  Racing  Series  debut  at  Illiana  Motor  Speedway  in  the
CITGO/MDA 250 presented by Jani-King on Saturday, September 20.

?I?m pleased to have an opportunity to compete in ASA,? said Regan Baker. ?I?m looking
forward to working with Lorz Motorsports at Illiana. ASA is a great series to be involved
with and I can?t wait to get going. With the experience I have gained in late models, I
feel the transition will be smooth.?

Baker will test the Lorz Motorsports No. 54 Chevrolet at the latter part of this week at
Illiana in preparation for the event. Baker will be testing with first-year competitor Toby
Porter and the Meijer Chevrolet.

Baker  was  born  into  a  racing  family  as  his  dad,  Ed  Baker,  drove  a  Porsche  on  road
racing  courses  and  ended  his  driving  career  with  a  victory  at  Daytona  on  the  road
course during Daytona Speedweeks.

Regan  began  his  driving  career  at  road  racing  rally?s  and  also  competed  in  Topeka,
Kan.,  before  moving  south  to  New  Brockton, Ala.  in  1988  and  moving  into  stock  car
short racing on asphalt ovals.

Driving in the Limited Late Model division, Baker recorded six wins, seven runner-ups,
and  six  outings  finishing  in  third  position.  He  finished  outside  the  top  10  on  only  one
occasion during the 1998 season.

Advancing  to  the  powerful  Super  Late  Model  machines  in  2000,  Baker  bagged a win,
added three second-place finishes and three additional podium performances at South
Alabama Speedway. In 2001, he competed in a limited schedule and finished second in
two races at the South Alabama Speedway.

The 2002 season started with Regan finishing third in the Rattler 125 . He followed that
with  four  consecutive  top-five  finishes  at  South Alabama  Speedway,  the  only  driver  in
2002 to accomplish that feat.

In  the  2003  "Rattler  125"  Baker  again  finished  third  on  his  way  to  another  successful
season. In nine Late Model races at South Alabama Speedway, Regan has an average
finish of 2.7, which indicates consistency and skill on the part of the driver.

Baker has also made two appearances in the Alabama-based Southern All Star Racing
Series, recording one top-10 finish.

Dan Lorz, owner of Lorz Motorsports, has intentions of securing the funding to compete
in  the  full  2004  ASA  Racing  Series  schedule.  Any  sponsors  that  are  looking  to  get
