Team Falken to Explode at Formula Drift's "Breaking Point" at Evergreen Speedway

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

   TEAM FALKEN TO EXPLODE AT FORMULA DRIFT'S "BREAKING POINT" AT EVERGREEN
   SPEEDWAY

July 9, 2010

     FONTANA, CA (July 9, 2010) - Momentum continues to build for Team Falken
     in the 2010 Formula Drift Championship, where the performance tire
     manufacturer has claimed all three wins, including back-to-back first and
     second place finishes and five podiums overall. Falken Driver Vaughn
     Gittin, Jr., sits on top of the series leader board in his Monster
     Energy/Falken Tire Ford Mustang followed closely by teammate and Discount
     Tire/Falken Tire pilot Daijiro Yoshihara. The team now heads to Round
     number 4, the "Throwdown" at Evergreen Speedway, July 9-10.

     Shoed with Falken's new for 2010 Azenis RT-615K tire, each of the five
     Team Falken factory drivers and Falken supported privateer teams will jump
     in the powder keg that is Evergreen Speedway this weekend to go for
     4-for-4 in the challenging Formula D competition. The track will
     definitely live up to its nickname, the "Breaking Point," as historically,
     it has claimed many victims.

     "We're having a great season thus far, but cannot get too comfortable with
     our recent successes" stated Falken's Sr. Manager of Consumer Marketing,
     Nick Fousekis. "Due to the nature of the sport, drifting can be very
     unforgiving as a single small mistake can end your weekend prematurely.
     Although stressful for all the competing teams, this fact adds to the
     excitement and allure for the fans we're looking to please."

     "This is a tough track" said Jonathon Bradford, Falken's Drift Team
     Supervisor. "However, we have both momentum and determination working for
     us, and together with our Falken Azenis RT-615K tires, we aim to continue
     our winning streak."
