BEACH EYES TERRE HAUTE AFTER POCKETING "HOOSIER HUNDRED"

MAY 30, 2005
             Teddy Beach of Donnelsville, Ohio ranks third in the new Weld 
Racing USAC Silver Crown Series standings after winning Friday nights' 54th 
Coors Light "Hoosier Hundred" at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in 
Indianapolis, presented by the Indiana National Guard.

             Beach now sets his sights on this Saturday night's First 
Financial "Sumar Classic 100" at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track, 
presented by First Financial Bank, Clabber Girl and the Terre Haute 
Convention & Visitors Bureau. The 100-lap race continues a tradition begun 
at the 1/2-mile oval in 1980 and revived in 1995. Brian Tyler won last 
year's 100-lap race after coming from 22nd starting position.

             Beach, who lasted only 33 laps in last year's Terre Haute 
race, scored an emotional victory in Friday's "Hoosier Hundred," leading 
the final 15 miles in his Beach Mfg./Fram Beast/Pink Chevy. He was followed 
by Josh Wise, who led 83 laps before yielding to Beach. Russ Gamester, Jay 
Drake and Tracy Hines completed the "top-five" at Terre Haute.

             Hines, the fastest qualifier Friday, emerged with the series 
point lead going into this Saturday's 100-lapper. He's three points ahead 
of defending series champion Dave Steele, with Beach 25 back.

             Drivers will be aiming at Drake's 1-lap Terre Haute Silver 
Crown qualifying record of 20.170 seconds when time trials get under way. 
Two-time "Sumar Classic 100" winner Tony Elliott of Warsaw, Ind. will try 
to become the race's first three-time winner.
