Bobbi and Gollin to Tackle
Barber Motorsports Park July 29-31
In Crown Royal Special Reserve No. 77

LEBANON, Ohio, July 22 - Matteo Bobbi and Fabrizio Gollin, drivers of Doran
Racing's Crown Royal Special Reserve DORAN JE4 No. 77, will make their first
appearances at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala. July 29-31 for the
Porsche 250 presented by Bradley Arant Rolex series race.

Although they'll have to learn the track, both Bobbi and Gollin are quick. 
The former FIA World GT champions both have qualified as high as second for
other Rolex series events held this year.  Their goal is definitely a podium
finish or better, but they'll have their work cut out for them as there is an
impressive field of 20 Daytona Prototypes and 28 GT cars entered in the race, and
passing is always challenging on Barber Motorsports Park's beautiful but
narrow 2.3-mile road course.

Their unique gold-colored car, which many people think is the most attractive
race car in the field, will have a different engine installed in it for this
race.  The team recently decided to switch to the Roush-Yates Ford 5.0-liter,
four-valve engine for the remainder of the season.

Doran Racing is always a contender. Last year the team finished fifth in this
race, held on a rainy day in October, with Didier Theys and Andrea Montermini
driving.

A test day is slated for Thursday, July 28 before the official weekend
schedule gets underway on Friday, July 29.  The Daytona Prototypes can practice from
9:40 a.m. until 11:10 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. until 2:45 p.m. that day.  Another
hour of practice is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 30, and then
an autograph session will be held at 11:30 a.m.  The DPs will qualify in a
15-minute session at 1:15 p.m. that day.  Gollin and Bobbi alternate on who drives
the car for qualifying, and it'll be Bobbi's turn this time.

A 15-minute warm-up is slated for 9:40 a.m. on race day, Sunday, July 31, and
then the 250-mile/109-lap/two-hour-and-45-minute race is scheduled to start
at noon.

The race is scheduled to be televised on SPEED beginning at 1 p.m. ET that
day.
