Pep Boys Indy Racing League And Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Appoint Championship Group As Sales Partner

The Pep Boys Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have entered into an agreement with Atlanta-based Championship Group, one of the leading sports promotion agencies in the country.

The agreement is the third major element in the comprehensive advertising, marketing and public relations strategy announced last December by Tony George, president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and founder of the Indy Racing League.

"In addition to our advertising and public relations partners announced earlier, Championship Group gives us the expertise of one of the leading sports promotion agencies in the country to help move our teams and our other partners forward," George said. "Championship Group has established themselves as the leader in the creation of integrated marketing programs for many major motorsports sponsors, and we believe that their experience will help make the entire Pep Boys Indy Racing League portfolio more attractive to corporate America."

Already in place is Weiden and Kennedy, the acclaimed Portland, Ore.-based advertising agency known for its Nike and ESPN commercials, and Golin/Harris, a leading global public relations firm that handles McDonald's, Chrysler and Owens Corning. A multimillion-dollar national campaign is underway featuring the drivers of the Pep Boys Indy Racing League.

"This is a very exciting opportunity, and we look forward to working with the entire IMS/Indy Racing League team," said Championship Group Managing Director Ardy Arani. "We're involved with IMS and the Indy Racing League because we see an opportunity to bring 20 years of motorsports marketing expertise to bear on a project with tremendous growth potential. There is an impressive foundation in place here, and our goal is to help take it to the next level."

Added Tom Swanson, a Championship Group director and leader of the Indy Racing League project team: "We see the Indy Racing League and IMS as having a lot of solid marketing benefits to offer corporate marketers, and our goal is to package them in such a fashion that makes the investment as appealing as NASCAR, the NFL or any other major sports property. The key to success in sports marketing today is leverage, and the Indy Racing League/IMS combination offers a lot of assets to utilize in designing successful campaigns for corporate sponsors. There is a lot to work with, and we can't wait to get started!"

Championship Group, headquartered in Atlanta since 1980, is one of the leading sports promotion firms in the industry as evidenced by numerous industry awards and the loyalty of many major corporate clients. The company is experienced within worldwide motorsports, Olympic sports, soccer and adventure sports, as well as facility management, event production and licensed properties. Their client base includes Hershey Chocolate, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Georgia Pacific, Discovery Channel, Easter Seals, Unilever and others.

Yes Patricia you are right. It is the same V$gas. When I visited MTEI, they put on such a show as to convince all seven of us that it was a real company. MTEI used us and many others. Since I was subpoenaed by the SEC, I had to furnish them everything I knew concerning the company and all of my financial records for one full year. I also had to provide them answers to approximately 30 questions under oath.

Yeah, you're right, it is truly interesting. This company reeks of MTEI and DGIV. You lost $6,000.00 in MTEI because you were unable to get out prior to it being halted. The similarities are frightening and therefore all should be warned.

If you would like to discuss this further, please send me a PM.

TSIG was my last foray into penny stocks, and like most other pennys, the risks are tantamount to being robbery.

One more thing Patricia,

You'll also remember that MTEI had a lot of people warning us that the company was a scam. ie., Janice Shell, Little Engine, et al. If we had only listened to them, right? Did you know that Fred Thornell was an MTEI investor?

Furthermore, Janice Shell was once burned by a penny stock company and what she believed to be true statements posted on threads. She was naive at the time. Once she realized what had happened to her, it was too late. Janice Shell became a champion against hypers and has uncovered some pretty interesting stuff. She has passed through here a couple of times. She has a pretty good idea of who REW may really be.

I don't have her eloquence and style in posting, but if one person saves money over any of my posts, then that's a good thing.

Right now you have people stuck in this stock. We know who they are. One has even stated on this thread that it would be a good idea to purchase this stock with a credit card. If just one person took that seriously and purchased this stock on a credit card because of that statement, well you get the drift. Hopefully no one did.

Regards,

Bob

Pat, first of all, I extend my sincere condolences for your misadventure in the "house of pain" known as MTEI. It appears that there may be the basics of a TV movie on that thread. Who would you like to portray you? You've undoubtedly heard that there are some very smart people coming to visit us. Disregarding Johninc's theory that the very smart people can't find us, did any very smart people post on the MTEI thread?..........Vegas claims that there are significant parallels between MTEI and TIGI. Your comments? Regards, Suzanne. P.S. Your confession about MTEI reminded me of a hysterical conversation that took place in Las Vegas!
