Federal-Mogul's Moog(R) M2 Technology Dominates Daytona

29 February 2000

Federal-Mogul's Moog(R) M2 Technology Dominates Daytona
    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 28 -- From the time they rolled the
cars off the various NASCAR trailers until Dale Jarrett collected his record
Daytona 500 paycheck, new Moog M2 Technology led the way by helping drive
victories in the Craftsman Truck, Busch Grand National and Winston Cup Series.
There was an additional winner at this year's race thanks to the generous
support of Federal-Mogul and the Moog M2 Challenge for Charity.
Federal-Mogul was proud to donate $100,000 dollars to Motor Racing Outreach on
behalf of winning driver and previous NASCAR Winston Cup Champion Dale
Jarrett.
    "We at Motor Racing Outreach are very grateful and honored to receive this
check, it will go far in helping us to serve the racing community at the
tracks and at home," said Max Helton, Founder and Senior Chaplain of Motor
Racing Outreach.
    The 2000 Daytona 500 marked the introduction of the Moog M2 Technology, a
chassis technology developed for use by everyday vehicles and race proven by
NASCAR.  M2 Technology is the newest advancement from Moog, the leading brand

suspension parts, including ball joints, tie-rod ends, idler arms, and sway

    Every Winston Cup Champion for the past 34 years has won using Moog
Chassis Parts, the same parts available for everyday vehicles right out of the
box.  The Moog M2 Challenge for Charity was a competition among the seven
still active champions participating in this year's Daytona 500 race.
