"Duct Tape Man for a Day"
-Sweepstakes winner to join NASCAR driver

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 2004 ? Duck brand duct tape has named Rob Dukich
of Copperas Cove, Texas, the grand prize winner of the company's "Duct
Tape Man for a Day" Sweepstakes. As the winner, Dukich will join
NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson's crew as an honorary member during one

The "Duct Tape Man for a Day" Sweepstakes will award Dukich and a

windbreakers, and one case of Duck® brand 200MPH Racing Tape®, from

"I was overwhelmed to hear that I had won," said Dukich, who has
never been to a live NASCAR event. "I never could have imagined that
duct tape would send me to my first race and give me the chance to meet
Jimmie Johnson, one of my favorite drivers. I guess it can do
everything."
Second prize winner Ed Wentz of Lima, Ohio, and third prize winner
