Petty, Newman To Team in DP sponsored by Disney/Pixar Cars Movie

DAYTONA  BEACH,  Fla.  (January  27,  2004)  --  NASCAR  NEXTEL  Cup  Series  driver  Kyle  Petty  and
Academy Award-winner Paul Newman will team with Michael Brockman and Gunnar Jeannette for the
42nd Anniversary of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, January 31-February 1. The foursome will share driving
duties  in  the  Gunnar  Racing  No.  45  Porsche  Fabcar  Daytona  Prototype,  which  will  be  sponsored  by
Disney presents a Pixar film Cars.

"We are very excited to have an all-star lineup in the car and great a sponsor like Disney/Pixar's Cars on
the car for this year's Rolex 24," said team owner Kevin Jeannette.

The Rolex 24 At Daytona will be the second time Newman and Petty have teamed in a Grand American
Rolex Sports Car Series race, as the two partnered with 21-year-old Gunnar Jeannette last summer for
an eighth-place finish overall at Watkins Glen International.

Newman, who has competed in Rolex 24 four times already, will be one of the voices in Disney/Pixar's
Cars, schedule for a holiday release in 2005. The animated film from the makers of box office hits Toy
Story (1995), Monsters, Inc. (2001) and Finding Nemo (2003), has been described by the studio as a 
high-octane  adventure  about  a  collection  of  classic  automobiles-turned-'toons  revving  things  up  on
historic Route 66."

This  year's  Rolex  24  will  be  the  ninth  start  in  North  America's  most  grueling  sports  car  race  for
Brockman, the fifth appearance for Petty and fourth for Jeannette.

"There are so many people that have helped us put this effort together, and we really want to bring home
a victory for them," said Kevin Jeannette. In addition to Disney/Pixar's Cars, Porsche has been a great
supporter  of  ours  both  this  year  and  in  season's  past.  It  would  be  great  if  we  could  put  our  No.  45
Porsche Daytona Prototype in Victory Lane as a welcoming present to new Porsche Motorsports North
America President Uwe Brettel and a farewell gift to retiring-President Alwin Springer."

The  42nd  Anniversary  of  the  Rolex  24  At  Daytona  will  be  held  January  29  -  February  1.  Tickets  are
