MARKETING INFORMATION

NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT GRAND-AM Road Racing is all about tradition. We start the season at the world s most famous venue, Daytona International Speedway, with one of the world s premier events, the Rolex 24 At Daytona. From Daytona we travel to other historic venues: Watkins Glen International, Road America, Lime Rock Park, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and, to end our season, the famed Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. And ultimately, we are all about our constituents our drivers, teams, sponsors, race tracks and of course, our millions of loyal fans. Collectively, these constituents form a family the GRAND-AM Road Racing family, whose members share a unique passion for racing. Our family is strong. Our family is getting stronger, thanks in part to a partnership with another family you may have heard of: the NASCAR family. NASCAR acquired GRAND-AM several years ago and has supplied added prestige, credibility and support in many key areas as we continue to grow our sport. On behalf of everyone at GRAND-AM, welcome to the family. TOM BLEDSOE President, GRAND-AM Road Racing A VISION FOR THE FUTURE It is a revolution driven by the pure spirit and raw enthusiasm of American motorsport fans searching for real, hands-on-and-hearts-in-it, sports car racing experiences. Our fans are asking for more; they want to participate in the events they attend. They are hands-on-and-hearts-in-it, sports car racing enthusiasts and they want to feel a personal connection with the drivers, teams, and cars. They want deeper involvement in the total racing scene, giving them an emotional stake in the action. More than anything, fans want to own their experience and to be able to share their raw enthusiasm and excitement with their family and friends. GRAND-AM Road Racing is giving racing back to the fans and bringing the fans back to the races! 20 MILLION GRAND-AM FANS IN THE UNITED STATES. ROLEX SPORTS CAR SERIES TV RATINGS HAVE RISEN % IN PAST EIGHT 58YEARS. GRAND-AM IS BROADCAST IN 191 COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE.

GRAND-AM presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 GRAND-AM CONTINENTAL TIRE SPORTS CAR CHALLENGE The GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 offers extremely competitive sports car racing and features two classes of cars, the exotic Daytona Prototypes and sleek Grand Touring machines that run simultaneously on track. Rolex Series races are measured in time, not distance, and require more than one driver at the helm. Typically a two-man team competes in the shorter, sprint events which last anywhere from two hours to two hours and 45 minutes. For the longer and more difficult races, such as our marquee event, the Rolex 24 At Daytona and the Six Hours At Watkins Glen, a 3-to-4 man team will contend. In addition to taking on tires, refueling and making chassis adjustments, driver changes are also required during the race. DAYTONA PROTOTYPE CLASS (DP) The Daytona Prototype (DP) class is the premier draw in GRAND-AM. That DAYTONA PROTOTYPE attraction starts with its name Daytona Prototype a combination of the world s greatest race track and sports car label that conjures up thoughts of speed, science and daring. The striking, mid-engine machines debuted in the Rolex Series in 2003. The DPs are purpose-built for close, door-todoor competition and made to order for excitement. Capable of speeds in excess of 185 mph, DPs also feature the latest in safety and technology. They are produced by five chassis constructors. Each chassis is designed and manufactured independently but is also kept within GRAND-AM rules that are aimed at keeping the racing action close. The Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge features sports cars from manufacturers worldwide, straight from the showroom floor, racing side-by-side with only minor modifications. The only improvements made are in the area of safety; other than that, this series cars are basically street-legal, provided you re talking about a fast-moving street! There are two classes competing simultaneously in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge: Grand Sport (GS) and Street Tuner (ST). GRAND SPORT CLASS (GS) GS cars have engines that generate between 350 and 405 horsepower, which equates to speeds in excess of 160 mph. This class includes BMW M3s, Chevrolet Camaros and Ford Mustangs, among others. STREET TUNER CLASS (ST) ST cars can reach speeds in excess of 130 mph. But get this: no V-8s allowed, only four and six-cylinder engines. MINI Cooper, Volkswagen GTI and Honda Civic Si are examples of ST cars. GS (GRAND SPORT) ST (STREET TUNER) GRAND TOURING CLASS (GT) The Grand Touring (GT) class consists of cars most fans can identify with; BMW, GT (GRAND TOURING) Porsche, Ferrari, Mazda and others, since they retain similar design and aesthetics to current high-performance sports cars sold on showroom floors. But don t let appearances fool you. GTs are all business, and that business is racing, with carbon-fiber bodies and other technology similar to that employed in the Daytona Prototype class. As in the DP class, though, GT competition is enhanced and not defined by technology. GRAND-AM employs methods to ensure that at each event, every competitor has the potential to win. And that s a tough job when you re talking about a mixture of American- produced muscle cars and the hottest imports from around the globe, capable of producing between 400-450 horsepower. PREMIER GRAND-AM IRACING.COM ONLINE SPORTS CAR SERIES The Premier GRAND-AM iracing.com Online Sports Car Series features virtual GRAND-AM! The series features Daytona Prototypes and Mustang race cars, competing at some of the same, to the millimeter-accurate versions of the tracks, the real world GRAND-AM Rolex Series races at. Two champions are crowned at the end of the ten race season one in each class. This series allows for automobile aficionados and sports car racing fans from every corner of the earth to get involved with GRAND-AM!

SPONSORSHIP CASE STUDY The marketing people at GAINSCO attribute most of our GROWTH to the STRENGTH of the brand that we have gotten, frankly, by being here [at GRAND-AM]. Bob Stallings Executive Chairman And Chief Strategic Officer, GAINSCO, Inc. NO. 99 GAINSCO/BOB STALLINGS RACING CHEVY RILEY GAINSCO credits its six-year-old GRAND- AM sponsorship with gaining new business in the ultra-competitive market of low-cost auto insurance. The GRAND-AM team sponsorship has been the main focus in GAINSCO s marketing efforts, integrating advertising, website, community and agent outreach. We have intentionally built our corporate brand and culture around the race car it is the unifying icon of our company and represents our quest to build a truly outstanding, competitively distinctive auto insurance company, said Glenn Anderson, GAINSCO s president and CEO. The company reports an average 67% increase in new policy sales during the two weeks following each of its showcar visits to agent locations. The showcar also visits industry trade shows to recruit new reps and travels to community events. GAINSCO has also used the team sponsorship for incentive programs that offer race tickets and hospitality passes to agents selling the most policies. GAINSCO s success has mirrored the GRAND-AM team s success, with annual sales of $48.9 million in 2004 growing to $179.6 million in revenue in 2009.
