Dear Potential Sponsor,

We appreciate your interest in possibly becoming involved with the Dowd Motorsports QuarterMidget racing team. We are currently campaigning for the 2008 National Championship in SeniorHonda, Light 160, and World Formula classes. We have included for your review various piecesof informative literature about the team, Quarter Midget racing, and the projected expensesneeded to run in the series for the 2009 season.

Motor racing is the world’s largest spectator sport, second only to soccer. A full 32% of any crosssection of the general public expresses a strong interest in motor sports. This market is the fastestgrowing sport in America and it shows from looking at the companies involved in every facet ofthe business. Growth rates in motor sports are breaking records while most other entertainmentand promotional media are static or in decline.

Quarter Midget Racing is an amazing and growing form of auto racing. It allows youth ages 5-17(you may not compete on or after your 17th Birthday) to compete at different levels in close sideby side racing action. Many of our kids move on to the highest levels in oval track racing.NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon is probably the most famous. The Quarter Midget racecars are safefor our kids, and are arguably safer than playing soccer, football, or other sports. Many greatlessons in life are taught through racing, from being a humble winner to a gracious loser, to thehard work it takes both on and off the track to be a front runner on race day.

With the price of fuel and the lower participation in the 2008 season we have decided to run threeQuarter midgets and not pursue other types of racing until 2010 or 2011.

Dowd Motorsports is thrilled, and fortunate to allow our son the privilege of racing at this level.We are also proud to bring a professional and courteous attitude to our sponsors, fans andcompetitors. We feel that attitude is one of the most important contributors to our own successand to the success of our sponsors. We hope to have the opportunity to work together with you ondeveloping a program that will enhance the marketing and promotional objectives of yourcompany. If you should have any questions or comments, please feel free to call us.

Sincerely,

Jim Dowd- Crew Chief/ DadMitchell Dowd- DriverDowd Motorsports
