HERZOG JACKSON MOTORSPORTS EAGERLY AWAITING TALLADEGA

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (April 2, 2003) – Coming off an exciting weekend at Texas Motor Speedway where the Herzog Jackson Motorsports Chevrolet Monte Carlo posted another top-five finish, the No. 92 organization is hoping to repeat their performance at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway when the Aaron's 312 kicks off on Saturday April 5th.

Todd Bodine scored a fourth place finish in last Saturday's O'Reilly 300, giving the Herzog Jackson Motorsports racing team a total of five top-10 finishes, three top-fives, and one victory for the 2003 season. Bodine also leads the Busch Series driver's points race, ahead of second place Jason Keller by a commanding 104 points – all of this success coming from a team which is currently searching for sponsorship.

Bodine arrives at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway a seasoned veteran. With eight starts previously in the Busch Series at the 2.66-mile tri-oval track, he brings experience to the track deemed the "fastest speedway in the world." With four top-ten finishes and three top-fives, Bodine also sat on the pole in April of 2000.

This is the second pairing of Bodine and Herzog Jackson Motorsports at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. In their first pairing at the speedway in April of 2002, Bodine led Herzog Jackson Motorsports to a fourth place finish – their best ever at Talladega. After qualifying in 17th position, Bodine managed to escape a 27- car wreck with only minor damage.

"Having a wreck like we did last year at Talladega is pretty inevitable when you have guys running that close together and going that fast," stated Bodine. "We were lucky to get through with only minimal damage and be able to still get a top-five finish. This year we feel like we have a car that’s good enough to win, and hopefully we can have a clean race so we can bring the Herzog Jackson Motorsports Chevy to victory lane."

Live television coverage of the Aaron's 312 will begin at 2:00 pm EST on FOX. MRN Radio will also broadcast the event live beginning at 2:00 pm EST.
