MOPAR'S FORMULA D CHAMPION HUBINETTE NAMED AS SPOKESPERSON FOR EA GAMES 
'JUICED'

Center Line, Mich. - Mopar's "Crazy Swede" was recently named as the 
spokesperson for "Juiced," EA Games' latest creation in the world of tuner video 
games. THQ, the largest video game manufacturer for EA Games, released the game 
during a media blitz in Las Vegas, Nev. 

Hubinette was on hand for the game's release with the Mopar Viper Competition 
Coupe that he piloted to the 2004 Need for Speed Formula D championship 
title. He treated media to ride-alongs before the attendees were able to play the 
video game firsthand. 

"I'm honored that EA Games has asked me to be the spokesperson for 'Juiced,'" 
Hubinette said. "This is the first opportunity I've had to do something like 
this, and I think that it will be great for EA Games, myself and my sponsors, 
Mopar and Yokohama Tires. It was a lot of fun introducing the media to the 
game and to drifting in Las Vegas, and I'm looking forward to doing more of this 
type of activity in the future."

"Juiced" is unique from other games of its kind in that players can earn 
money to upgrade their cars as they progress. The game also allows players to 
compete against others online, meaning it is now possible for video enthusiasts to 
compete worldwide. Players can also compete for "pinks," or ownership papers, 
which adds to the competitive atmosphere of the game.

"It's really wild to think that you can build your car up and then lose it to 
someone across the world," Hubinette said. "If you lose your car in a battle, 
it completely comes off of your hard drive. You could end up racing your own 
car again after you've lost it in a race. It's this type of interaction that 
makes "Juiced" such a great game to play."

Hubinette, who was the inaugural Need for Speed Formula D champion in 2004, 
will begin his defense of the title this weekend at Wall Township Speedway in 
New Jersey. For this season, Hubinette will pilot the Mopar Dodge Viper, which 
differs from his 2004 ride. Hubinette swept three of four events last season 
en route to the championship.
