INDIANAPOLIS--May 26, 2006--Uniden America Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wireless consumer electronics, today announced its proud partnership with rookie phenomenon Thiago Medeiros as the driver of the #18 PDM Racing Panoz Honda for this year's Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 28, 2006.

"As America's prime sports car racing event, the Indianapolis 500 represents the ultimate partnership opportunity for our company as we look to boost our brand visibility with the growing racing fan base."
