SILVER CROWN PROTOTYPE BUILDER RILEY TECHNOLOGIES BRINGING THREE CARS TO
PHOENIX

INDIANAPOLIS – USAC new generation Silver Crown Series builder Riley
Technologies is bringing three of its cars to the season-opening “Copper
World Classic” this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway, with the hopes
the several laps of testing and logging laps will pay off with high results.

Purchasing cars from Riley – the developer of the new pavement prototype
car – were Racing Teams Inc., Sam Pierce and Jim Paternoster. All three
continue a long-standing ownership in Silver Crown racing.

Pierce, whose son Aaron will drive the car, has turned over the day-to-day
operations to PDM Racing, which has had a long, extensive career in racing.
The team has fielded cars for the Indianapolis 500 several times, including
last May, when the squad teamed with Marty Roth to form a partnership. Roth
drove the car to 31st.

PDM has spent the last several months preparing the prototype for tests at
Homestead-Miami Speedway, Kansas Speedway and Indianapolis Raceway Park.
Now, the team will continue its efforts with the same chassis.

Pierce was the 2004 series Rookie of the Year and two years ago came from
33rd to fourth in a 100-lapper at Phoenix.

With PDM transporting and wrenching the car over in mid-September, Riley
focused its attention on building more cars. The first one was sold to
Racing Teams Inc., made up of longtime series supporter Johnny Vance and
multiple-time Indianapolis 500 starter Eliseo Salazar. The duo tabbed Pablo
Donoso as the driver, and he’ll be one of the most experienced drivers in
the new cars this weekend, having logged many laps at Kansas Speedway and
Indianapolis Raceway Park.

In December, Paternoster officially announced his intentions to continue his
Silver Crown endeavors, and brought Supermodified star Greg Furlong on as
the team’s driver. Paternoster has had talent in the past, but thinks
Furlong has the most natural talent he’s ever seen.

“The first time he sat in the car,” Paternoster said, “I think he was
someone special. I don’t think he was ready to leave here until now. He’s
going to do a fine job in this new series.”

While owners have taken possession of their cars, Riley still sees an
important need in traveling to Phoenix for assistance on their creations. No
other car had tested before September.

“From our involvement and testing to date, we’re sure this series of cars is
going to provide excitement and entertainment for the race fans,” Riley Vice
President Ron McMahon said.

And having been commissioned to work on the project for more than a two
years and doing the majority of the testing, it would be interesting to see
how Riley’s final product stacks up to those of the other constructors.

“We’re obviously hoping to see our cars go one-two-three, but we’re also
looking to see where our cars are against everyone else’s,” McMahon said.
