NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Champion Tony Stewart Auctions Actual Old Spice Post-Race Sweat Towel for Charity

Bidding Starts on Monday on OldSpice.com and eBay.com - All Proceeds Will be Donated to The Victory Junction Gang Camp

CINCINNATI, Feb. 20 -- WHAT:            NASCAR NEXTEL Cup champion Tony Stewart is working with
                   Old Spice to give a lucky fan the sweat towel right off
                   his shoulder (un-washed)!  Directly after the Hershey's
                   Kissables 300 on Saturday upon winning the race, Stewart
                   handed over his Old Spice towel (as seen in countless
                   post-race interviews) to a charity auction for The
                   Victory Junction Gang Camp.  Starting Monday, February
                   20, fans can place a bid for the autographed towel by
                   logging onto www.OldSpice.com or www.eBay.com.  Old
                   Spice, the No. 1 antiperspirant/deodorant stick and
                   personal cleansing choice for guys in the U.S., is
                   hosting the weeklong auction.  The brand has sponsored
                   Nextel Cup winner Tony Stewart for the past five seasons.

  FUN FACT:        During an average race, temperatures inside Tony's car
                   reach up to 150 degrees, and he can lose several pounds
                   of sweat.  Tony relies on Old Spice antiperspirants,
                   deodorants and body washes to stay cool and smell great
                   both before and after a race.


  BACKGROUND:      After every victory this season, including Nextel Cup,
                   Busch and Craftsman Truck Series races, Stewart will
                   immediately autograph and hand over his Old Spice towel
                   in the winner's circle (as seen in countless post-race
                   interviews) for an auction to benefit The Victory
                   Junction Gang Camp.

Old Spice is a proud sponsor of NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Tony Stewart. Old Spice is the No. 1 antiperspirant/deodorant and personal cleansing choice for guys in the U.S.
