SILVER CROWN SLATE RELEASED PAVEMENT RACES REFLECT SIGNIFICANT PURSE INCREASES

NOVEMBER 10, 2005

             The racing debut of the brand-new pavement Silver Crown car, 
which has undergone extensive testing at existing series venues as well as 
new venues involved in the 2006 series expansion, is scheduled January 
21-22 as part of Phoenix International Raceway's annual "Copper World 
Classic." The event kicks off an expanded slate of races, announced today 
by the United States Auto Club, offering unprecedented prize money for USAC 
Silver Crown Championship participants.

             Series expansion has resulted in accelerated purse structures 
and unprecedented exposure, with events occurring on "major" race weekends 
in major market areas.

             Pavement purse structures in 2006 will reflect significant 
increases, including the $150,000 purse for most 1.5-mile ovals, based on 
36-car, 100-mile race starting fields which will result in $25,000 
first-place prizes and a minimum of $2,200 in prize money for all starters. 
"Top-15" finishers in these events will be racing for $3,000 in prizes or more.

             Purses for "existing" Silver Crown pavement venues have been 
increased by a minimum of $10,000. None of these stated purse figures 
include posted accessory or other additional awards.

             Brand-new venues joining the 2006 Silver Crown slate include 
Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida (March 25-26), Kentucky Speedway in 
Sparta, Ky. (June 16), Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill. (July 9), Iowa 
Speedway in Newton, Iowa (July 16), and Kansas Speedway near Kansas City 
(Sept. 30). The Chicagoland and Kansas events will be held in conjunction 
with NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series weekends, while the Kentucky race 
is in conjunction with a NASCAR Busch Series race and the Homestead-Miami 
race will complement the Indy Racing League weekend. The event at the new 
Iowa Speedway is part of that track's debut weekend also featuring the ARCA 
Remax Stock Car Series.

             "It has been extremely gratifying to be able to assemble a 
schedule representative of the caliber of competition this series offers," 
stated USAC President/CEO Rollie Helmling. 'Our target for the new pavement 
car has been realized with the expanded opportunities this schedule 
presents for our participants. We look forward to these new challenges and 
the exciting competition which these new cars will generate."
