Andersen Racing and Rahal Letterman Racing
Expand Their Relationship

PALMETTO, Fla., Jan. 18 - Andersen Racing and Rahal Letterman Racing (RLR)
have agreed to expand their relationship in 2008, marking an unprecedented
association between the junior open-wheel ranks and a major-league team.

Last February Andersen Racing was named as the official Indy Pro Series
development team of RLR, which fields entries in both IndyCar and the American Le
Mans Series (ALMS). Now components of that relationship will expand to include
not only Andersen Racing's Indy Pro Series team but also its multi-car entries
in the IMSA Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear and the SCCA F2000
Championship Series presented by Hoosier Racing Tire.

Andersen Racing recently moved from New Jersey to the 18-acre Andersen
RacePark in Palmetto, Fla., which includes a 1-mile test track. RLR is
headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio.

As part of the new, multi-year agreement, the RLR/Andersen Racing Indy Pro
Series cars will summer at RLR's nearly 60,000-square-foot shop in Ohio. This
will cut down on travel expenses for the Indy Pro Series effort and also give
Andersen Racing's Indy Pro Series engineers and mechanics better access to RLR's
IndyCar personnel and equipment.

Andersen Racing's Indy Pro Series engineers and mechanics will have more
access to similar personnel at RLR at the track too. They'll be available for
consultations about gearing, suspension and aero concerns, etc.

In addition, RLR will conduct twice-yearly driver symposiums for all of
Andersen Racing's drivers and their parents. The symposiums will be hosted by
driving legend and RLR co-owner Bobby Rahal. They will include presentations by
additional key RLR personnel.

RLR will also provide guidance and/or support for Andersen Racing's
marketing, hospitality, public relations and administrative work in all three series.

"Our relationship with Rahal Letterman Racing and with Bobby Rahal in
particular has proven to be very important to our vision for Andersen Racing," said
Andersen Racing co-owner Dan Andersen. "RLR represents the top of the ladder
system we have created, taking young drivers from karts to the IndyCar Series.
The assistance, expertise and guidance offered by the fine staff at RLR are
very important to our program."

"We are not only looking forward to another year of competition in the
IndyCar and American Le Mans Series, but another year of working with the next
generation of drivers through our partnership with Andersen Racing," said Bobby
Rahal. "Rahal Letterman Racing is well known in motorsports for its ability to
develop young driving talent, and we expect to continue that legacy in the
years to come through our relationship with Andersen Racing."

Andersen Racing strives to provide the best possible training for future
open-wheel stars and give them one central home during the time they are honing
their skills in support series. Each of its full-season F2000 and Star Mazda
drivers earn a test at the next-highest level at year's end. RLR also provided
an IndyCar test for RLR/Andersen Racing's lead Indy Pro Series driver, Andrew
Prendeville, last year. Andersen Racing is sponsored by Allied Building
Products Corp.

About Rahal Letterman Racing:

In its second decade of competition, Hilliard, Ohio-based Rahal Letterman
Racing has carved a niche as one of the leading open-wheel racing teams in North
America. The growth of the team from its origins as a single-car entry to a
multi-car team has been a testament to the leadership and vision of its
founder, Bobby Rahal. Shortly following the 1995 season, racing enthusiast David
Letterman joined Rahal as a co-owner of Team Rahal. The name would later change
(2004) to Rahal Letterman Racing in order to reflect Letterman's extensive
involvement in the team.

The headquarters of Rahal Letterman Racing is one of the finest race shop
facilities of its type in the world of motorsports. Encompassing nearly 60,000
square feet of space in suburban Columbus, Ohio, it houses in two adjacent
buildings all of the personnel and equipment necessary to develop, field and
maintain Rahal Letterman's IRL IndyCar Series, American Le Mans Series and BMW
Mobile Traditions programs. In the past it has also housed the team's Champ Car,
Atlantic, Indy Lights and Formula BMW programs.
