Ford Puts Chesterbrook Excel in the Sharp AQUOS 500

DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 4 -- Ford Customer Service Division has put Chesterbrook Excel on the hood of the #21 Motorcraft(R) Fusion for the upcoming Sharp AQUOS 500 at California Speedway. As part of Ford's national "When It Fits, You Win" Sweepstakes, business owner Harry Chang of Chesterbrook Excel was chosen as the first of two Wild Card winners. Each Wild Card winner will get the name of his or her qualified installer business on the #21 Motorcraft(R) Ford Fusion during a select 2007 race.

The "Chesterbrook Excel" name will appear on the hood of the #21 Motorcraft(R) Ford Fusion, all thanks to Wild Card winner and auto repair shop owner Harry Chang. "The publicity will be great for the business," said Chang when asked about his recent prize.
