CHICAGO, IL, February 7, 2001 - CD-2 Automotive Performance Products, a division of Turtle Wax, Inc., has renewed its relationship with NASCAR Winston Cup driver Robby Gordon and extended sponsorship to the Morgan-McClure Motorsports team and its #4 Kodak Chevrolet. CD-2 and it's unmistakable neon logo will adorn the rear quarter panels and television panel of Gordon's Monte Carlo as a major associate sponsor for 2001. "I couldn't imagine going into a racing season without CD-2 at this point, they've been such a great supporter of my career the last two years," said Robby Gordon, who will drive the #4 Kodak Chevrolet for Morgan-McClure Motorsports in 2001 after last season driving for his own team, Team Gordon. "Basically, I owe them a big win, we came so close to winning the Indy 500 for CD-2 in 1999. Every time I've needed support, whether it be in CART, Winston Cup or Off-Road, CD-2 has been there to help make it happen. Now with Morgan-McClure, we're going to take a shot at the Daytona 500 and Winston Cup Championship and continue to build the CD-2 brand. We've got a great program put together here one that got even better today."

CD-2 Automotive Products is comprised of a wide range of engine-related additives. CD-2 Products are available at leading auto parts chains and mass-merchandisers worldwide. "Any time you can add a new sponsor to your program you feel good," said Larry McClure, owner of Morgan-McClure Motorsports and winner of three Daytona 500's. "We've got a very optimistic look about 2001 with Robby Gordon. With the added support from CD-2, it makes us that much stronger."

Robby Gordon's affiliation with CD-2 dates back to 1999; since that time Turtle Wax has repositioned the classic brand with a whole new look and impactful new product offering. "We're very pleased to be back with Robby Gordon in 2001. Robby has proven to be an excellent ambassador for the CD-2 brand," said Bob Piché, Group Director of Marketing for Turtle Wax. "Continuing our relationship with Robby as a major associate sponsor with Morgan-McClure gives us an excellent branding platform in racing's premier arena. An arena we feel Robby has the opportunity to win races in 2001 and that's something we want to be a part of."

Gordon and his Kodak/CD-2 Chevrolet begin practice for the Daytona 500 on Thursday, February 8, from the Daytona International Speedway.
