Fulltiltpoker.com Sponsors Larry Foyt's ARCA Entry at Daytona
 MOORESVILLE,
N.C. February 4, 2005--Fulltiltpoker.com, an interactive poker gaming Web site,
has signed with Foyt Racing as the primary sponsor of the No.16 Dodge. The car
will be driven by Larry Foyt in the Advance Discount Auto Parts 200 at Daytona
International Speedway Saturday, Feb. 12th. The race will be televised live on
SPEED Channel starting at 4pm EST.
The ARCA race will be the first foray into motorsports for Fulltiltpoker.com
which sees a great opportunity to bring its online poker experience to racing
fans.
"This is a great opportunity for us to join forces with such an exciting sport
and an amazing race car driver" said Bob Wolf, Chief of Marketing for Tiltware.
"Motorsports has been a mainstay in the American consciousness and with the
poker phenomenon at such heights, we make a great team."
"I'm excited to be back behind the wheel at Daytona," said Foyt. "I've only
driven in one ARCA race and that was over four years ago. I've learned a lot
since then so I'm really looking forward to competing next weekend.
"Fulltiltpoker.com was designed by a company that recognized the sweeping
popularity of poker across the country," Foyt said. "They're demonstrating their
innovativeness with this motorsports sponsorship. I'm sure they'll reach many of
our adult race fans who enjoy a good game of poker. Now fans will discover they
can enjoy poker online anytime."
Young Foyt put together the one-time race package for his father A.J. Foyt's
team with support from BAM Racing team owners Beth Ann and Tony Morgenthau. The
Morgenthaus are trying to secure sponsorship to field a car for Foyt in one of
NASCAR's divisions this year.
Foyt has also signed two associate sponsors for this event: Demons Cycles (www.demonscycle.com),
builder of custom motorcycles, and Victory Sportswear (www.victorysportswear.com)
a full line apparel company that offers screen printing, embroidery and ad
specialty items to local race teams across the country.
