COLLEGE STATION, Texas--(Business Wire)--
FanCar, a company designed to put the power of sponsorship in the hands of race
fans, announced today that it will sponsor two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion
Terry Labonte and Carter/Simo Racing at the Ford 400 on Nov. 22 in Miami. Fans
are now invited to visit www.fancar.com and invest $20 to be a sponsor of Terry
Labonte`s #08 Toyota Camry at Homestead-Miami Speedway. 

"We started FanCar to support drivers like Terry Labonte, a former Cup champion
and an old-school, no-nonsense competitor," said Matt Ferguson, founder of
FanCar.

"Now it`s up to the fans to get behind Terry and Carter/Simo Racing at Miami and
join the FanCar team." 

After becoming a sponsor, fans will be able to vote on the paint scheme as well
as the overall message that Labonte`s #08 Camry will carry during the Miami
race. Participating fans will receive a certificate of sponsorship as well as a
digital photo of the car. If the sponsorship is chosen as a gift, FanCar will
send along an electronic gift card to the person selected. All funds raised by
FanCar will go directly to the funding of the #08 Camry driven by Terry Labonte
in Miami-no development costs or transaction fees subtracted. 

"It`s a great honor and a privilege to be the first driver of the FanCar," said
Terry Labonte, driver of the #08 Carter/Simo Toyota Camry. "NASCAR fans have
given me so much in my career, but FanCar takes that fan support to a whole new
level." 

Terry Labonte, from Corpus Christi, Texas, has won 22 races in his NASCAR Sprint
Cup career and was the Cup series champion in 1984, driving for Hagan Racing,
and again in 1996, giving Hendrick Motorsports its first ever championship. In
1998, Labonte was named as one of NASCAR`s 50 Greatest Drivers and was elected
to the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.
