NO BULL 5 FANS LV!

4 March 2000

 NO BULL 5 FANS LV
 
     LAS VEGAS - Viva Las Vegas! That's what five lucky NASCAR Winston Cup
race fans are thinking today.  Each has come to Las
Vegas for a shot at the Winston No Bull 5 million-dollar bonus, and today,
they learned with which NASCAR Winston Cup driver they will be paired for Sunday's Carsdirect.com 400.
     
Five NASCAR Winston Cup drivers are now paired with five lucky
Winston No Bull 5 fans.  Should one of the drivers with the
carsdirect.com 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this Sunday, the driver and
his fan will each take home the million-dollar bonus. The pairing took place in the Circus Maximus Showroom at Caesars Palace.
     
It was vintage Las Vegas.  After a performance by a Shania Twain
impersonator, each driver spun a wheel that included the names of the five fans.  The sweepstakes company, Young America,
established the order in which the drivers would spin the wheel. When the drivers spun the wheel, it stopped on a fan's name.  With some
12-hundred race fans in attendance, the process happened five times until each fan / driver pairing was complete.

The five eligible drivers are the top-five finishers in the Daytona 500
last month. 1999 NASCAR Winston Cup champion Dale
Jarrett, Jeff Burton, Bill Elliott, Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin are the
eligible drivers.
    
Richard Cartwright from Wetumpka, Ala. is paired with Martin.
Rosemarie Lechleidner from Moorestown, N.J. will be pulling
for Jarrett.  Harry Hamner from Rumford, Maine is now a big Bill Elliott
fan. Johnnie Bowser from Charlotte, N.C. is paired with
Wallace, and Joyce Williams from Port Isabel, Texas is paired with Burton.
Drivers become eligible to win the $1 million Winston No Bull 5 bonus
by finishing in the top five at the previous Winston No Bull 5 event.  The five races comprising the Winston No Bull 5 in 2000
are, in chronological order: the Daytona 500; the
Carsdirect.com  400 (March 5); the Coca-Cola 600 (May 28) at Charlotte;
the  Chevrolet Monte Carlo 400 (Sept. 9) at Richmond, Va.;
and the Winston 500 (Oct. 15) at Talladega, Ala.

Eligible drivers at the Carsdirect.com 400 are determined by the top-five
finishers at the Daytona 500. Eligible drivers at a particular Winston No Bull 5 event can win the Winston No Bull 5
million-dollar bonus by finishing first in said event.  If all five
qualified drivers fail to capture the $1 million Winston No Bull 5 bonus
at a particular Winston No Bull 5 event, the bonus will not
roll over to the next event. Each Winston No Bull 5 event is worth $1 million to the qualified drivers.
If a qualified driver wins a Winston No Bull 5 event,
one fan will also win a $1 million bonus check as part of Winston's "They
Win, You Win" sweepstakes.  

Five fans are eligible at each Winston No Bull 5 event.  They are selected at random through a nationwide
sweepstakes program, and then each is paired, at random, with one of the eligible Winston No Bull 5 drivers.  If an eligible driver
wins the Winston No Bull 5 bonus, then the fan paired with that driver will
also win a $1 million check from Winston.
