DON SCHUMACHER RACING

INDIANAPOLIS (May --, 2004) - Don Schumacher today announced that Matco
Tools has extended its sponsorship contract with Don Schumacher Racing
through 2006 in the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.

Matco Tools joined Schumacher Racing in 2001 as primary sponsor of the Whit
Bazemore-driven Matco Tools Dodge Stratus Funny Car, as well as associate
sponsor on the U.S. Army-backed Top Fuel Dragster piloted by Tony
Schumacher. Since then, Matco Tools has become associate sponsor on the
HEMI-powered Oakley Dodge Stratus Funny Car steered by Gary Scelzi and the
Schumacher-owned U.S. Army Pro Stock Bikes ridden by Angelle Savoie and
Antron Brown.

"It's a strong relationship for Matco Tools," said Lynda Banig, vice
president of marketing for Matco Tools. "We're looking forward to extending
the good relationship that we've had for several years with Schumacher
Racing into 2005 and 2006. This team, and driver Whit Bazemore, with whom
we've enjoyed an even longer association, are an important part of our
brand-building program and we're pleased with the extension."

"For Matco Tools, our relationship with Schumacher Racing is incredible to
our distributors," added Tim Gilmore, vice president of sales for Matco
Tools. "It helps promote our brand, which helps them eventually sell tools
in the marketplace. It also helps promote our brand to help us recruit new
franchisees into our system."

"I'm just thrilled with the confidence that Matco Tools and the distributors
have in our team and the great job that Whit Bazemore, crew chief Lee Beard
and the crew do week in and week out," said Schumacher.

Whit Bazemore has won 16 national events so far, is a two-time U.S.
Nationals champion, two-time Funny Car championship runner-up, and is
currently second in the 2004 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series Funny Car
point standings.

been manufacturing and distributing professional mechanic's tools and
equipment since 1979. Matco Tools is represented by more than 1500
franchised distributors across North America and Puerto Rico. Matco Tools
