ASA SPEED TRUCK CHALLENGE LANDS NATIONAL TELEVISION NETWORK

   
Upland, California..June 28th, 2006..ASA Speed Truck Challenge
president, Jay Rutherford, Go Fast Sports and Exposure Racing are proud
to announce that after diligently pursuing several major networks to
negotiate a very special ASA Speed Truck Challenge television series, an
agreement was reached today to broadcast on the Outdoor Life Network
(OLN) with a sixteen broadcast (8 original and 8 repeat) program. The
television shows will broadcast consecutively in the 4th quarter of 2006
when race fans are hungry for racing. Broadcast dates and times are
being pulled together currently, and will be announced soon.  
 
ASA Speed Truck Challenge continues to run its exhilarating 2006
schedule and the introduction of televising this new format show will
certainly add much to the overall program and the financial
possibilities for all driver partnership sponsors. Especially with 4th
quarter broadcasts as sponsors can see the shows while creating their
2007 advertising and sponsorship budgets. Steve Grein from NeWave Video
Productions states "We have worked very hard for several months to
advance the ASA Speed Truck Challenge from a 25 million household
network in 2005 to OLN which is in over 72 million homes for 2006. It is
a huge jump for everyone involved and we are very excited for Jay, the
Speed Truck teams and the sponsors. This is truly an awesome deal for
the series." Grein concluded.
 
"All those associated with this tedious process, NeWave Video
Productions, Purcell Productions, Exposure Racing, Go Fast Sports, ASA
and many others, are to be thanked for their efforts on behalf of ASA
Speed Truck Challenge" stated Jay Rutherford. "And, we wish to express
special thanks to all owners and drivers for their patience as ASA Speed
Truck Challenge put the final touches on this major national television
broadcast decision and we will continue to grow to meet new challenges
in this competitive industry." Rutherford concluded.
 
OLN is the leader in competitive and adrenaline-charged content. Now in
more than 72 million homes, OLN is the cable home of the National Hockey
League and best-in-class events like The Tour de France, The America's
Cup, Professional Bull Riders (PBR), the Boston Marathon and USSA
Skiing.  The network offers unique programming in four primary areas:
Action Sports, Field Sports, Bulls & Rodeo and Awe-Inspiring Series, and
is the exclusive home of Survivor in syndication. OLN, a wholly owned
company of Comcast Corporation , is distributed
via cable systems and satellite operators throughout the United States.
