Moreno to Substitute for Terry Labonte
In Doran Labonte Racing's Loctite Pontiac No. 44
At Barber Motorsports Park July 29-31

LEBANON, Ohio, July 22 - The driver they call "Super Sub," Roberto Moreno,
has just gotten the call to fill in for a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup driver.

The twist is that when he subs this time, he'll be strapping into a DORAN JE4
Daytona Prototype that competes in the Grand American Rolex series.

Moreno recently got the call to join NASCAR star Bobby Labonte behind the
wheel of Doran Labonte Racing's Loctite/Henkel DORAN JE4 Pontiac No. 44 for the
Porsche 250 presented by Bradley Arant Rolex series race at Barber Motorsports
Park in Birmingham, Ala. July 29-31.

Moreno is substituting for Terry Labonte, who will miss this race in order to
be at Gateway International Speedway near St. Louis for a NASCAR Busch series
event.

Terry Labonte is still slated to co-drive with his brother at the CompUSA 200
Rolex series race at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, N.Y. Aug.
11.-12 prior to the NASCAR Busch series and NEXTEL Cup races there Aug. 13-14.

(Both Labonte brothers are slated to drive in the Brickyard 400 at
Indianapolis Aug. 7. Terry Labonte only has two more NEXTEL Cup races on his 2005
schedule after that as he winds down his part-time "Shifting Gears - Lone Star
Style" season.)

Moreno got his nickname "Super Sub" after posting impressive finishes in the
late nineties while substituting for injured CART champ car drivers such as
Mark Blundell and a driver he'll be racing against at Barber Motorsports Park,
fellow Brazilian Christian Fittipaldi. Now based in Weston, Fla., Moreno
finished a career-best third in the CART championship in 2000, winning at Cleveland
that year.  He earned his second career CART victory in 2001 at Vancouver,
British Columbia, and he has over 100 career champ car starts.

One of the most interesting stories about Moreno's pinch-hitting comes from
the world of Formula 1 racing, however. Moreno, who finished tenth in the
Formula 1 World Championship in both 1990 and 1991, had the biggest break in his
racing career when he got the call at the last minute to join his long-time
friend, Nelson Piquet, on the Benetton team for the last two races of 1990. 
Moreno was to substitute for Alessandro Nannini, who had been badly injured in a
helicopter crash.

The first of those races was the Japanese Grand Prix.  Piquet won, and even
though it was his first race with that team Moreno finished second, giving
Benetton its first one-two finish in F1 racing.

"I'd always been with under-funded teams, and we never had enough money to do
well," Moreno recalled.  "I'd only qualified for four races that year, and
I'm sure there were people who thought I'd never finish. But it was the first
one-two finish for Benetton ever and it also was two Brazilians finishing first
and second.  They gave me a contract after that, so really my biggest break
ever in my career came in my very first race when I was substituting for
someone."

Everyone on the Doran Labonte Racing team would be thrilled with similar
results at Barber Motorsports Park as Moreno substitutes on that team for the
first time.

Although it will be Moreno's first time driving a DORAN JE4, it's not the
first time he's driven a Daytona Prototype.  He's been doing selected races for
Bob Ward in a Spirit of Daytona Racing Crawford Pontiac this year, and he's
looking forward to comparing the two chassis.

"I'm really looking forward to the race," Moreno said. "I'm very pleased that
Kevin Doran invited me to drive. I wasn't planning to do any other Rolex
series races this year other than Phoenix.  I was available, and it all worked out.

"I've never driven at Barber Motorsports Park before, and I'm looking forward
to learning another circuit and comparing the cars," he added. "With Kevin
I'm sure we'll have a good result.

"We talked a lot about doing races together, but the finances never came
together," Moreno added.  "I'm also looking forward to seeing how the team
operates, because it has a reputation for being very professional."

Moreno said he's also looking forward to meeting Bobby Labonte.

"I've heard a lot about him, and I'm excited to drive with him because he's
very famous," he said.  "I may be known in Europe, but nothing like the NASCAR
drivers are known in America.  NASCAR is certainly the biggest series here."

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.

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.
