LESTER BUILDINGS NAMED TITLE SPONSOR OF ASA MILWAUKEE EVENT

            PENDLETON, Ind. (August 18, 2004) - Lester Buildings, one of the largest manufacturers of engineered,
            wood frame building systems in the country, has signed as the event sponsor of the August 29 ASA National
            Tour race at The Milwaukee Mile. The 200-mile competition will be titled the "Lester Buildings 200."

            "Milwaukee is one of the biggest markets for our buildings so it was natural that we use this race at the famous
            Milwaukee Mile to help further embed the Lester Buildings brand in the community," said Tom Borgman,
            Lester Buildings' marketing manager. "We are excited to be involved with ASA and rooting Tim Sauter on to
            another victory."

            In addition to their relationship with ASA, Lester Buildings is also the primary sponsor of the No. 9 Ford Taurus
            driven by 1999 ASA National Tour champion Tim Sauter. A Wisconsin native, Sauter currently sits third in the
            point standings, and has one win this season which came on July 17 at Madison International Speedway. His
            race shop in Necedah, Wis., was constructed by Lester Buildings.

            "Lester Buildings recently signed an agreement to become the 'Official Commercial Builder' of the ASA
            National Tour," said Steve Dale, president and CEO of the Indiana-based stock car sanctioning body. "They
            came into our sport with a lot of enthusiasm about how they planned to activate their program and this is just
            another example of them using motorsports to help make their products better known to the consumer."

            The Lester Buildings 200 will mark the 34th  ASA National Tour visit to the legendary one-mile track, extending
            a relationship that extends back to 1978. The event will start at 3 p.m. CDT, and race fans will be able to enjoy
            a full day of on-track excitement as the MARS Series will compete in a 50-lap feature starting at 1 p.m.

            Tickets are still available by calling The Milwaukee Mile ticket office at (414) 453-8277 or online via

            With nearly 130,000 buildings erected across the United States, Lester Buildings covers a broad range of
            customer needs, from simple storage buildings to custom commercial structures. Lester buildings are typically
            sold and erected through independent, locally-owned Lester builders. However, in some selected areas
            building services are handled factory-direct. The company is headquartered in Lester Prairie, Minn., and more
