The five FedEx Championship Series drivers selected to the inaugural CART All-Star Team will be named Tuesday, Feb. 8 during a media reception at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Fla. The announcement has been scheduled in conjunction with CART's fifth annual Spring Training set for Feb. 8-10 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla.

The evening will honor the five drivers chosen to the inaugural CART All-Star Team by vote of their fellow drivers, a select panel of media and a trio of celebrity Champ Car enthusiasts, actors Tim Allen and Anthony Edwards and 1999 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Robin Yount. The leading vote-getter on the team will be presented with the Mario Andretti Trophy in recognition of his accomplishment.

The evening also will include special recognition of Greg Moore of the Player's Forsythe Racing Team, who was fatally injured in the season finale last year.

The evening will begin with a cocktail reception at 7 p.m. ET, with ceremonies scheduled to begin at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Admission is by invitation only, although all media are welcome. For further information, contact T.E. McHale, Senior Manager of Public Relations, at (248) 362-8800.
