X-cellent Opportunity to Meet Travis Pastrana at Subaru of Schaumburg

   WHAT:    Chicago area fans have an X-cellent opportunity to personally
            meet and greet Subaru Rally Team USA driver and X Games
            champion Travis Pastrana at Subaru of Schaumburg.  The event is
            free and open to the public. Pastrana is one of the most
            successful X Games athletes in history, and earlier this month
            at X Games 12 in Los Angeles, he added another gold medal to
            his collection as he won the inaugural X Games Rally event.  In
            addition to this victory, Pastrana took home gold medals in
            Motocross Freestyle and made history again by winning gold in
            Motocross Best Trick with the first-ever double back-flip
            performed in competition.

            Pastrana is successfully transitioning his winning ways to
            rally racing and is currently leading the Rally America
            National Championship driving for the Subaru factory effort in
            his 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI prepared by Vermont SportsCar.
