Actor Skeet Ulrich, star of CBS' new fall drama series JERICHO, is
slated to attend the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Sony HD 500 at California
Speedway in Fontana, Calif. on Sunday, Sept. 3. Ulrich, the stepson of
retired NASCAR driver D.K. Ulrich and the nephew of retired NASCAR
driver and Virginia Motor Sports Hall of Famer Ricky "Ironman" Rudd,
will be on hand to attend the drivers' meeting, visit the speedway's
FanZone and tour the garage area.

Ulrich's television credits include the critically acclaimed series
"Miracles" and the movie "The Magic of Ordinary Days" on the Network. He

JERICHO, premiering Wednesday, Sept. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM) on the CBS
Television Network, is a drama about what happens when a nuclear
mushroom cloud suddenly appears on the horizon, plunging the residents
of a small, peaceful Kansas town into chaos, leaving them completely
isolated and wondering if they're the only Americans left alive. Fear of
the unknown propels Jericho into social, psychological and physical
mayhem when all communication and power is shut down. The town starts to
come apart at the seams as terror, anger and confusion bring out the
very worst in some residents.  In this time of crisis, as sensible
people become paranoid, personal agendas take over and well-kept secrets
threaten to be revealed, some people will find an inner strength they
never knew they had and the most unlikely heroes will emerge.

JERICHO also stars Gerald McRaney ("Major Dad"), Ashley Scott ("Dark
Angel," "Birds of Prey"), Pamela Reed, ("Proof of Life"), Kenneth
Mitchell ("Miracle"), Lennie James ("Sahara"), Sprague Graydon ("Six
feet Under," "Joan of Arcadia"), Michael Gaston ("Prison Break"), Erik
Knudsen ("Saw II"), Brad Beyer ("Third Watch") and  Shoshanna Stern
("Weeds"). Jon Turteltaub ("National Treasure"), Stephen Chbosky
("Rent") and Carol Barbee ("Judging Amy") are executive producers for
CBS Paramount Network Television.
