SHELBY,N.C. -- A new corporate office location for Xtreme DirtCar,Inc., the parent company for the Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series, Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series, Southern Xtreme DirtCar Series and Western Xtreme DirtCar Series, has been announced by Xtreme DirtCar,Inc. owner/president Doug Bland. The new offices are located at 607 South Post Road, Shelby,NC 28150. The new telephone number is 704-487-1169 and the new Fax number is 704-487-1195.

Three new hires have joined the Xtreme DirtCar,Inc. staff. Mike Franklin Jr. has been named as the Director of the Goodyear Tire Company program; Rick Day is now the Director of Timing and Scoring for all Xtreme DirtCar,Inc. properties and will assist Tom Deery with the Xtreme DirtCar "Weekly Series" and Tim Brogunier has accepted the position of Director of Sales for all Xtreme DirtCar,Inc. properties.

Franklin Jr., 33, has been involved in motorsports his entire life both as a racer and a pit reporter for Speed Channel and is a past two-time Florida PRO Series champion. Franklin Jr. has vast experience working with the Goodyear Tire Company as a competitor with several asphalt racing series. Franklin Jr., formerly of Homestead,FL, recently relocated to Shelby,NC to begin his new duties. Franklin Jr. will begin to receive tire orders January 8 for the upcoming February 2 - 7 "Winternationals" at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL. Franklin Jr. can be reached at the new Xtreme DirtCar,Inc. office number, 704-487-1169.

Day, formerly of Tampa,FL, worked part-time in 2003 as the head timer and scorer for the Xtreme DirtCar Series. Day has been involved in motorsports throughout much of his life working in various capacities for several southeastern United States series including Hooters Pro Cup. In his mid-30's, Day is also the former owner of the SARA series.

Brogunier, 24 of Baltimore,MD, was an independent sales agent for the Xtreme DirtCar Series in 2003 and will be in charge of the Stacker2 sponsorship, all series sponsorships and all series drivers sponsorships. Brogunier is in the process of relocating to Shelby,NC.

In other Xtreme DirtCar,Inc. news the 2004 Rulebook has been posted on the newly revamped Xtreme DirtCar,Inc. website (www.xtremedirtcars.com) developed by Seann Anderson of Panther Motorsports Design. Three key changes to the 2004 Rulebook involve the mandated Goodyear Tire program (X-100 through X-500 series tires), new nose and roof specifications and a random drug testing policy.

Drivers competing with the Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series will also have some doors previously closed to them opened as arranagements are underway for a 2003 Xtreme DirtCar Series driver to possibly be invited to participate in the 2004 IROC Series. However, arrangements have been made which will see the 2004 Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCarSeries "Stacker2 Cup Champion" definitely invited to the 2005 IROC Series.

Work continues on the schedules for the Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series and the Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series. Bland is hopeful the schedules will be ready for release very shortly.
