  WHY:         In 2006, RBRC introduced a new entertaining and educational
               modular exhibit and display to engage directly with
               passionate race fans and to offer consumers a fun way to be
               smart about recycling.  The modular exhibit has been featured
               at various top speedways throughout the country, including
               this weekend's 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Race at the Atlanta
               Motor Speedway.

               rechargeable batteries in the U.S. and Canada.  Cell phones
               collected through RBRC's Call2Recycle(TM) program will be
               recycled or refurbished and resold when possible with a
               portion of the proceeds benefiting select charities such as
               Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
