Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS Gaskets Help Seal Kurt Busch's First NASCAR Championship

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--Jan. 2, 20056, 2005--Fel-Pro(R) PermaTorqueMLS(TM) head gaskets from Federal-Mogul Corporation (OTCBB:FDMLQ) helped seal the 2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup points championship for Kurt Busch and the Roush Racing-owned #97 Ford Taurus in what was the tightest points-title chase in NASCAR history. The championship is the first ever for the 26-year-old Busch and the second straight for the Roush organization.

Busch's PermaTorqueMLS-sealed power plant, built by Roush and Yates Racing Engines, posted a virtually flawless performance in NASCAR's new 10-race championship points shootout, in which the season's top drivers battle one another for title honors over the final stretch of the season.

"The Fel-Pro performance gasket team congratulates Roush and Yates Racing and Kurt Busch for delivering a fine effort in one of the most exciting seasons in NASCAR history," said Fel-Pro Performance Product Manager Ron Rotunno. "This has been a very competitive year in Cup, Busch and Truck Series racing and it's gratifying to see that Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS head gaskets have stood up to every challenge. Over the course of the 2004 season, PTMLS head gaskets have sealed winning Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and Toyota engines."

Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS gaskets, the next-generation sealing solution for a growing range of late-model automotive, light-duty truck and performance engines, deliver a complete, durable seal in spite of extreme engine operating temperatures and cylinder pressures. Each gasket features multiple layers of full-hard stainless steel, precise sealing beads and a proprietary coating that accommodates a wide range of surface finishes. This advanced design also allows for lateral and vertical motion of the cylinder head without compromising sealing performance.
