DAVID STREMME JOINS PENSKE RACING AS TEST DRIVER

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 15, 2008) -- In an effort to enhance its NASCAR Sprint Cup testing program, Penske Racing announced that David Stremme has joined the team as a test driver, effective immediately.

In this role, Stremme will participate in Penske Racing's comprehensive testing program in an effort to accelerate the understanding of the new NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Dodge Charger that made its full-season debut in 2008.

"It's a rare opportunity to have someone of David's caliber to work with Kurt, Ryan and Sam to help us improve our NASCAR Sprint Cup program," said Tim Cindric, president, Penske Performance, Inc. "David raced the new car and understands what it takes to compete at the highest levels."

Stremme, 30, grew up in a racing family in South Bend, Indiana. After competing successfully in local and regional events throughout the Midwest, he moved to national NASCAR competition in 2003. Stremme has made 74 starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since 2005. In 2008, Stremme has made seven starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, posting two top-five and three top-ten finishes.

"It's an honor to be working with an organization with as much history and heritage as Penske Racing," said Stremme. "I look forward to a lot of productive testing so I can assist their NASCAR teams to run up front, make the Chase and hopefully win many Championships in the future."

Stremme will continue his role as a driver for Rusty Wallace, Inc. where he will be running the majority of the NASCAR Nationwide Series races during the 2008 season.
