      JANI-KING KEEPS QUALIFYING AWARDS CLEAN IN ASA

PENDLETON, Ind. (April 6, 2004) - Jani-King, the world's largest commercial cleaning
franchiser, returns to ASA Racing with an extensive sponsorship program for the 2004
ASA National Tour season. The program will continue a relationship between ASA and
Jani-King that began in 1998.

There are three phases to their involvement. For each of the 16 events during the ASA
National  Tour  season,  the  Jani-King  Pole Award  will  consist  of  a  $1,000  check  to  the
fastest qualifier. Jani-King will also make a year-end presentation of $2,500 to the driver
earning the most poles during the season.

"ASA continues to improve the series and implement new ideas to increase exposure for
its  sponsors,"  said  Jerry  Crawford,  Jani-King  president.  "The  Jani-King  Clean  Sweep
Award not only creates excitement among the teams when the prize money rolls over
from week to week, but it's also going to make for some great racing when the Jani-King
Pole Award winner tries to collect."

The third and most exciting component is the new Jani-King "Clean Sweep" Award. This
is an additional $1,000 per race to be awarded only if the pole winner also becomes the
event winner. This purse will rollover to the next race should the pole winner fall short in
the quest to capture the checkered flag. For example, Zach Niessner, the pole winner at
the  season-opening ASA  National Tour  event  at  Lakeland  did  not  win  the  race  so  the
Clean  Sweep  Award  amount  grows  to  $2,000  for  the  second  race.  The  amount  will
continue to accumulate at each event until a driver wins from the pole.

As an official category sponsor, Jani-King will have a visible presence on all competing
cars, driver and crew uniforms, pit area pennant flags and in the grandstand entry areas.
Jani-King will also be involved in all pre/post-race winner's circle ceremonies. There will
be a presence established with in-car cameras in televised events, as well as specific
segments  touting  the  Jani-King  Pole  and  Clean  Sweep Awards. The sponsorship also
includes  ticketing  at  all ASA-sanctioned  events  for  Jani-King  franchisees,  prospective
customers and customers to enjoy the great ASA racing action live.

Jani-King also continues to serve as the primary sponsor for the No. 17 Chevrolet driven
by  Mike  Garvey  in  the  2004  ASA  National  Tour.  This  continues  Jani-King's  lengthy
relationship as a car sponsor which began in 1998.

There are more than 9,500 authorized Jani-King franchise owners worldwide. Through a
network  of  more  than  100  regional  offices,  Jani-King  contracts  commercial  cleaning
services. Franchise owners who operate their own businesses perform the work.

The American Speed Association is based in Pendleton, Ind., and has offered stock car
racing programs since 1968, including the ASA National Tour, ASA Late Model Series
and ASA Member Track programs. For additional information, visit asaracing.com.
