Hometown Test for Duno, Carpentier is Teammate for Test and Race

December 4, 2006, Los Angeles, CA...Milka Duno will test at her "hometown
track" in Miami with teammate Patrick Carpentier in preparation for the
first race of the 2007 Rolex Sports Car Series season - the Rolex 24 At
Daytona in January, 2007. The two day test will be this Tuesday and
Wednesday, December 5 & 6 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

This will be the second of three test sessions for Duno and Carpentier in
the #11 CITGO Pontiac Riley Daytona Prototype for their challenge at the
24-hour classic at Daytona International Speedway. The duo tested in
November at Daytona and will test there again in January - three weeks
before the legendary race.

During the two day test on the 2.3-mile road course at Homestead, the
practice sessions will include both the Daytona Prototype and the Grand
Touring classes on the track at the same time. There will be a maximum of
six hours available for practice on each day.

Milka Duno
"I've been excited about this test session for some time now - as I will be
back in the car and with the team and Patrick - and also because this is my
hometown track! We had a good test last month at Daytona and we'll build on
that with this test. This is a very sharp team and they're very skilled at
building on everything we learn in each test. The car will have improvements
from what we learned at our last session and it will be great to get behind
the wheel."

Patrick Carpentier
"I'm looking forward to test again - I always love to drive the prototype
and am very happy to get back into it. We're going to try a few things on
the car - try to work on the rear as we have some improvements to make
there. Our last test was very good, but we always gotta keep working...so I
look forward to that."
