“An entire generation of Americans came together to work for freedom during the World War II era,” remarked Callahan during the ceremony. ”Soldiers and civilians, men and women throughout the country dedicated themselves to support the war effort. Today we are paying tribute to their sacrifices.”

CONCORD, N.C. - The United States Postal Service and Brewco Motorsports Inc. CEO Clarence Brewer Jr. today announced that the United States Postal Service will become Presenting team sponsor for their NASCAR Busch Series team.

Under the terms of the agreement, the United States Postal Service will be the presenting sponsor of Brewco Motorsports Inc. as "Team Brewco brought to you by the United States Postal Service," and associate sponsor of the No. 27 Kleenex racing car driven by Johnny Sauter.

"This sponsorship enables the Postal Service to become part of one of the fastest growing sports in the country," commented Jerry Whalen, USPS Vice President, Sales. "The NASCAR Busch Series had more than 2.3 million fans attending races last year, a national television contract with over 82 million viewers, and is truly a national sport. And every one of those fans is a customer of the Postal Service."

"We are looking forward to the added exposure and cross-promotional opportunities the United States Postal Services brings to our Kleenex racing program" said John Cook, Director of Motorsports Sponsorship for Kimberly-Clark. For one race only, the November 6, 2004, race at Phoenix, the car will carry the National World War II Memorial U. S. postage stamp image on the hood of the car to honor America's veterans.

Included in the agreement, David Green, the 1994 NASCAR Busch Series Champion, will pilot the No. 37 United States Postal Service car at Dover International Speedway on September 25, 2004. Under the one-race agreement his car will carry a special USPS paint scheme. "Last season, I had the privilege of working closely with the U.S. Postal Service and their customers," Green added.

"I am thrilled with their increased interest and involvement in our team and sport. They are truly a first-class organization with outstanding employees. Their support will be a huge factor in our quest for the 2004 Busch Series title.

NASCAR, like the Postal Service, is a part of the history of this country. We are proud to again carry the Postal Service colors and represent their tradition of excellence."
