LENOX' to Sponsor Jamie McMurray and the No.26 Roush Racing Team in Three NEXTEL® Cup Races

EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass., July 5, 2006 - After a successful venture as an associate sponsor on the No. 26 Roush Racing Ford Fusion of Jamie McMurray, LENOX' now has a primary paint scheme of its own.

Three times in 2006, beginning with the July 9, NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway, the red, white and blue colors of LENOX will dominate McMurray's Ford Fusion. Other races where LENOX will be the team's primary sponsor include New Hampshire International Speedway on July 16th and Kansas Speedway on October 1st.

LENOX, a leading manufacturer of premium power tool accessories, hand tools, torches, and band saw blades in over 70 countries served as an associate sponsor on McMurray's IRWIN' Industrial Tools Ford earlier this year. The TV panel of the car proudly displays a LENOX saw blade as if it were tearing through it.

"LENOX has been associated with our Roush Racing sponsorship since 2003," said Bill Burke, president of LENOX. "Like Roush, LENOX is committed to quality, innovation, and extreme performance. The decision to become a primary sponsor of the No. 26 team and Jamie McMurray is an exciting step for our company. We look forward to strengthening our commitment to the sport of auto racing and its fans."

"I can't wait to take the white LENOX Ford Fusion on the track," added McMurray. "Our race team uses LENOX products to build and maintain our race cars every day in the shop and we hope to take them to victory lane - hopefully right in their backyard at New Hampshire International Speedway."
