MOPAR'S HUBINETTE GEARING UP FOR FORMULA DRIFT EVENT AT ROAD ATLANTA

Center Line, Mich. -  While the Formula Drift Championship event in New 
Jersey over the weekend didn't have the end result that series champion Samuel 
Hubinette would have liked, it most definitely allowed him to leave his mark on 
the 2005 season in a big way. More importantly, it gave the DC Performance Mopar 
SRT10 Dodge Viper team the opportunity to showcase its dedication to giving 
Hubinette a shot at repeating as the series champion.

Hubinette laid down an impressive qualifying run, bringing the crowd to its 
feet as he grazed the guardrail with the tail of the Mopar Dodge Viper and 
smoked the Yokohama Tires. The judges awarded "The Crazy Swede" for his efforts 
with a 13th-place ranking after qualifying. Hubinette squared off against Robbie 
Nishida in the first round of eliminations, where his day came to an end. 

"We're very pleased with the progress that we made over the weekend, 
Hubinette said. "With only a day of practice in the new Mopar Dodge Viper, I feel that 
we made a great attempt at this first event. We learned a lot about the car 
itself, and now we're going to take that knowledge and work to make 
improvements for Road Atlanta. As a whole, the DC Performance Mopar Dodge Viper team had 
a great first event, and we're looking forward to continuing on this season."

Hubinette and the DC Performance Mopar SRT10 Dodge Viper team will look to 
earn their first Need For Speed Formula Drift Championship victory at Road 
Atlanta on May 6 and 7. En route to winning the 2004 Formula Drift Championship, 
Hubinette swept three of four events for Team Mopar.
