B. Bodine invites fans to sponsor car at Indy

Brett Bodine Racing will offer fans an opportunity to become a sponsor on his No. 11 Ford Taurus entry for the 10th running of the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on August 3, 2003.

The entry will have a special "brick" paint scheme for the event and fans will have an opportunity to help Brett Bodine build his Brickyard 400 entry, brick-by-brick, by purchasing a "brick" in the paint scheme.

In addition to being known as a sponsor of this special "brick car", those participating will receive an autographed Sponsor Certificate and a 1:24 scale Racing Champions limited edition commemorative diecast replica of the "Brick Car" for each "brick" purchased.

Information on how to participate can be found on Brett Bodine's website – www.brettbodine.com.

"I really like running the Brickyard 400. In addition to the prestige of racing at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I have a second-place finish at the inaugural Brickyard 400 and also broke the track record for the fastest stock car during qualifying in 2000," said Brett.

"In addition to this being the 10th running of the Brickyard 400, this will be my first race since I was injured at Michigan last month. We plan on testing Indy in a couple of weeks and the team has had additional time to prepare while I was healing.

"Since we lost our sponsor mid-season, we have had lots of inquiries from fans who want to help us while we are searching for a full-time sponsor, so we thought we could make this race and this race car something extra special for all of us," he continued.
