FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JOEY SCARALLO SEVENTH IN MORNING WARM UP

TORONTO, Ontario (July 10, 2004) ­ Joey Scarallo, driver of the No. 06 ROH
Wheels/Group A Autotrend/Toyo Tires Chevrolet Corvette in the Motorock
Trans-Am Series, was seventh fastest in todayıs final practice session at
the Trans-Am in T.O. Scarallo recorded a 1:14.174-minute lap (85.178 miles
per hour) in the 30-minute session. He finished just ahead of teammate John
Baucom, driver of the No. 86 Ford Mustang.

³Weıve been chasing the carıs setup all weekend,² said Scarallo. ³This is a
function of not having had the time or resources to perform the needed
testing. We performed a gear change last night and had a minor problem with
the clutch, but we are still working to better the car for this afternoonıs
race. 

³Baucom Motorsports has been working hard this weekend,² said Scarallo, who
teamed with Baucom Motorsports this year. The Baucom squad is preparing
Scaralloıs car for the 2004 season.

³It is a very tight track. We have the best eight cars in the country and
itıs hard with an 11-car field, but we are moving up and closing the gap,²
said Scarallo. ³We are going to finish much better in todayıs race than we
have in practice sessions. That, I promise.²

racing karts in the Long Island Karting Association, where he won three
championships in 1993.

finished 14th in series points. He ran a limited schedule in 1997, scoring
