McMillen renews sponsorship with Amalie Oil

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Amalie Oil Renews Sponsorship With InstiGator - Adds Major
Associate Sponsorship to McMillen Top Fuel Team

December 8, 2005
Elkhart, IN - In an announcement today, Amalie Oil extended
their partnership with Hoosier Thunder Motorsports for an additional two
years. Amalie will continue as the Major Sponsor on the Amalie Oil
InstiGator Funny Car and add Major Associate sponsorship to the Knoll
Gas Motorsports Top Fuel team piloted by Terry McMillen.

"Our relationship with Amalie Oil began in 2000," stated Hoosier
Thunder Motorsports team owner Terry McMillen. "We're excited to add to
an already strong partnership. From Harry Barkett and Denny Madden to
Andrew Bornstein and the hundreds of Amalie associates, we've always had
the strength and support of one of the finest organizations behind us."

Amalie Oil, the Official Motor Oil of the IHRA, is also the
title sponsor on two of IHRA's top events - The Amalie Oil Texas
Nationals in San Antonio, TX and the Amalie Oil North American Nationals
in Epping, NH. Amalie also posts contingency in both Pro and Sportsman
classes in the IHRA.

The Amalie Oil InstiGator Top Alcohol Funny Car debuted in 2002
when McMillen and Amalie Oil's Business Development Manager, Andrew
Bornstein, expanded on the popular "gator" theme that the company used
for its motorsports marketing. The Amalie Oil marketing department then
took over and Michelle Barkett designed what has arguably become the
most recognized car in motorsports. "Everyone just loves that smiling
gator car," added McMillen. "No matter where we go, whether it's Texas
or Canada, people see the Amalie logo and ask me, 'Hey, isn't that the
gator car?' It's always a great feeling."

A driver search for the Amalie Oil InstiGator continues and an
announcement is expected soon.

Amalie will make the McMillen-piloted Top Fuel Team "Better Than
It Has To Be" when they add their logo as a Major Associate Sponsor
during the 2006-2007 campaigns. The sponsorship will increase Amalie's
exposure and brand awareness as the Top Fuel team will compete in all
IHRA and at least 8 NHRA races. "From what we can see the quality of
this team is outstanding," commented Andrew Borstein, Business
Development Manager for Amalie. "They'll be competitive from the opening
day. We're excited about this opportunity to increase our brand
awareness in new motorsports markets."

Evan Knoll's TORCO Race Fuels is also an Amalie distributor.
Knoll added, "The marketing partners on these teams gel nicely. We're
very proud of our association with Amalie and the quality products that
they offer to our racers and fans."

Since 1903 Amalie has been "Better Than It Has To Be". The
company markets its products worldwide, has distribution operations in
Dallas; Jacksonville, Florida; and Los Angeles.
