NAVISTAR JOINS USARACING AS OFFICIAL TRUCK OF THE PRO CUP SERIES 

Bristol, Tenn. (September 11, 2010) – International Truck and Engine Corporation/Navistar has joined USARacing as the Official Truck of the Pro Cup Series, series officials announced today.

As part of the agreement, a Navistar Lonestar branded road tractor will tow the series command center to each Pro Cup Series race in 2011.  And a Navistar/USARacing show rig will tour International dealerships, tracks and selected venues nationwide.   

“We are delighted to be the Official Truck of the USAR Pro Cup Series,�?? said Chris Randall, VP of Sales – Southeast Region, International Truck & Engine Corporation.  “The unprecedented fan experience at a USAR race is parallel to the type of ownership experience we pride ourselves on delivering at International. We look forward to an exciting 2011 race season and to the continued success of USAR Pro Cup Series Racing in partnership with International Trucks.�??   
 Larry Camp, Managing Partner for USARacing, said fans and customers are sure to be impressed by both the Series and show units.

“Our fans and Navistar dealers across the country are going to be wowed by the Lonestar/USARacing show rig which will tour at dealerships and selected venues during the season,�?? Camp said.  “The Lonestar tractor which will pull our Series command post into the 2011 season will also be a real showstopper!  We are extremely pleased that Navistar has chosen to associate with USARacing as the Official Truck of the Pro Cup Series.  Navistar represents a ‘Best in Class’ partner and we look forward to growing this relationship.�??

In addition to the command and show tractors, one lucky Pro Cup team will also have the use of a Lonestar for the entire 2011 racing season.  Teams who competed in 80 percent of the races in 2010 will be eligible to win the use of the truck.  A blind draw will determine the winning team. 

The USAR Pro Cup Series, formerly Hooters Pro Cup, is owned by Interstate Investment Group (IIG) and is based in Concord, N.C.  For more information on USARacing, visit www.usarprocup.com.
