Brian Shirley Confirms Nine New Sponsors for 2006 Campaign


CHATHAM, IL (January 21, 2006)  The #3s team of Brian Shirley is proud to
welcome nine new sponsors for their 2006 campaign.  The Illinois-based dirt
late model team and their 24-year-old driver impressed many with a dynamic
2005 season that included a fourth place championship finish in their first
ever attempt at the grueling U.M.P. Summernationals tour and a $10,000 visit
to victory lane at the series¹ finale.  A handful of businesses including
Sunoco Race Fuels, Weld Wheel, Taco Carburetors, Performance Rod & Custom,
Sweet Manufacturing and Mason Starters partnered with Shirley midway through
last season and the trend continues as the talented young driver keeps
turning heads.
 
Brian Shirley Motorsports would like to thank all returning sponsors and
partners for their continued support and welcome the most recent additions
to our team.  Headlining the new sponsors includes a prominent name in dirt
motorsports and a premier Iowa-based business, J&J Steel.  When asked about
the sponsor that now graces the quarters of all #3s entries Shirley
commented, ³I am really honored to have Johnny Johnson and J&J Steel on
board.  His contributions to my team and this entire sport have made many
things possible.  I¹m looking forward to returning to his track (34
Raceway), racing with him throughout the season and representing his
business in the best way I know how  winning races.²
 
In addition to J&J Steel, premier race outfitter ApexPerformance.net and new
associate sponsorships from Design 500, GottaRace.com, Hooker Harness,
Ringer¹s Gloves, ARP Bodies and Petersen Aluminum will help propel the #3s
JAYCO Construction/Petroff Towing/J&J Steel/CJ Rayburn Race Cars team to
victory lane.  The team will also hit the track with a new look thanks to a
custom vinyl wrap from Panther Motorsports Design.
 
The #3s team will kick off their 2006 racing season at East Bay Raceway in
Gibsonton, FL, for the three day Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finale
starting on February 9, 2006.  The team will then venture to Volusia
Speedway Park in Barberville, FL, for the conclusion of Speedweeks with
United Midwestern Promoters and the World of Outlaws¹ Late Model Series.
