  Slide-Lok Expands NASCAR Licensing Rights Into Canada

  Slide-Lok poised for additional expansion through licensing agreement with NASCAR Canada for home and garage storage

  Phoenix, AZ – January 15, 2008 – Slide-Lok, the industry leader in home and garage storage, has been granted licensing and distribution rights for their top quality plywood garage cabinets, garage flooring, Slat-Wall and closet systems throughout Canada. Slide-Lok now has approval to use the popular NASCAR® bar logo in conjunction with the top drivers’ signatures and car numbers as a secondary brand for their new Slide-Lok Racing Garage product line set to debut in February 2008 in both the United States and Canadian markets.

This latest licensing contract complements the existing agreement with NASCAR, encompassing the continental U.S., which already includes the top drivers who participate in NASCAR-sanctioned events. Slide-Lok’s much anticipated Racing Garage will showcase the names, numbers, color schemes, and signature logos of the top drivers who participate in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series incorporated into Slide-Lok’s patented, plywood garage cabinets, Slat-Wall systems and inlaid into Slide-Lok’s garage floor coating.

Slide-Lok president, Brian Strayer, stated, “Extending our licensing rights into Canada was extremely important to us. We are committed to supporting our Canadian dealer network and aggressively expanding our presence even further throughout Canada. NASCAR’s popularity in Canada is growing fast, so securing these additional rights for our Canadian dealer network has been a part of our plan from the beginning.”

Slide-Lok marketing director, Jason Jantzen, added, “Canadians clearly enjoy the sport of NASCAR, and expanding our licensing rights into Canada so that our dealer network can take advantage of the surging popularity of NASCAR throughout Canada is a natural progression for us.”

In separate agreements, announced in prior press releases, Slide-Lok has also acquired licensing property rights from NASCAR as a secondary brand and several of the top racing teams including Richard Childress Racing, Roush-Fenway Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing. The company is expected to announce details related to additional licensing agreements, expanding Slide-Lok’s rights with top NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers beyond those already announced.

About NASCAR:

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc. (NASCAR®), which began in 1948, is the sanctioning body for one of America's premier sports. NASCAR is the No. 1 spectator sport – holding 17 of the top 20 attended sporting events in the U.S. and the No. 2 rated regular-season sport on television with broadcasts in more than 100 countries. NASCAR fans are the most brand loyal in all of sports, and as a result more Fortune 500 companies participate in NASCAR than any other sport.

NASCAR consists of three major national series (the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series), four regional series, and one local grassroots series, as well as two international series. NASCAR sanctions 1,300 races at 100 tracks in more than 30 U.S. states, Canada and Mexico. Based in Daytona Beach (Fla.), NASCAR has offices in New York, Los Angeles, Charlotte (N.C.), Concord (N.C.), Conover (N.C.), Bentonville (Ark.), Mexico City, and Toronto.
