MILLER LITE ROCK 'N RACING WITH THE GOO GOO DOLLS

6/26/2003

At the Tropicana 400 on July 13 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, Rusty Wallace will be racing in his Miller Time Live Dodge featuring the rock band The Goo Goo Dolls. This customized paint scheme is part of a two-race program for Miller Lite titled ?Rock ?n Racing.?

Miller Lite Rock ?n Racing is a program that Miller Brewing Company put together to expose music lovers/concert insiders to Rusty Wallace and Miller Lite Racing. The night prior to the race, the Goo Goo Dolls will be playing an exclusive Rock ?n Racing concert at The Metro in Chicago. The concert venue will be decorated with Miller Lite Racing merchandise, and Miller Lite racers Rusty Wallace and Larry Dixon will be at the venue to meet concert goers and to introduce the band. Consumers can win the opportunity to attend the SOLD-OUT show by attending Miller Lite bar promotions and by listening to WXRT. More information on ticket promotions will be available on WXRT?s web site, www.wxrt.com. This concert promises to be a memorable event for those in attendance, as The Goo Goo Dolls rarely play in such an intimate environment (capacity at The Metro is 1,000). This, in addition to the presence of Rusty Wallace and Larry Dixon, will make this Miller Time Live experience truly unique.

In addition to racing in the Miller Time Live Dodge, Rusty Wallace will also wear a customized fire suit and race helmet that includes the Goo Goo Dolls band logo and current album title.

The first leg of Miller Lite Rock ?n Racing took place in Charlotte, NC at The Winston. The Goo Goo Dolls performed a pre-race concert on the infield of the track that was open to all race fans with a ticket to The Winston. More than 8,000 people gathered on the infield to see Rusty Wallace introduce the band and to enjoy The Goo Goo Dolls rip through a 90 minute set of their greatest hits.
