Press Release Details

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (August 11, 2006) – Domino's Pizza® (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery and the Official Pizza of NASCAR, will make its first appearance as a primary NASCAR® NEXTEL® Cup Series team sponsor of racing veteran, Michael Waltrip August 18-20 at Michigan International Speedway.

Waltrip, a two-time Daytona 500 winner, will be the first driver to compete in a Domino's Pizza NASCAR NEXTEL Cup car in NASCAR's premier series when he takes the wheel of the No. 55 Domino's Pizza vehicle next Friday.

“We're excited to see the Domino's Pizza brand make its debut as a NEXTEL Cup Series primary team sponsor with Michael and the No. 55 team in the backyard of our world headquarters,” said Ken Calwell, Domino's Pizza executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “This sponsorship, in addition to our status as the Official Pizza of NASCAR and the Presenting Sponsor of Michigan International Speedway, continues to demonstrate our commitment to NASCAR racing and the opportunity it provides us to build awareness of the Domino's brand and deliver sales for our franchisees.”

As part of its 2006 motorsports program, Domino's Pizza has been, and will continue to be an associate sponsor of Waltrip's No. 55 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series team. Waltrip previously carried the Domino's Pizza banner as his primary sponsor of his No. 99 NASCAR Busch Series team twice in 2005 and once in 2004.

Domino's partnerships extend to Michigan International Speedway, branded “MIS Delivered by Domino's Pizza” and will feature fan entertainment, displays, signage, product sampling and guest hospitality throughout the race weekend.

“Our relationship with Domino's has been a great partnership. They've been a big supporter of this team, and we're excited to have them on board for their first primary sponsorship in a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race,” Waltrip said. “You can't help but root for the car with a Domino's logo on its hood. I think race fans will be pretty excited to see this car out on the racetrack.”

“And people will be really excited when they hear about the surprise Domino's has planned this weekend. I can't say anything more about it, but I'll tell you this much, it's going to be a really sweet deal.”

With Domino's Pizza as the primary sponsor this weekend, the No. 55 car will feature a blue and red paint scheme with the Domino's Pizza logo displayed prominently on the hood. Domino's Pizza logos also will appear on both rear quarter panels and on the rear fender.

Waltrip has compiled one pole position, two top-five and eight top-10 finishes at Michigan International Speedway over the course of more than 20 seasons of Nextel Cup racing at the track. In 2003, he won the 45th annual Daytona 500 to become one of only eight drivers in the sport to win the race on multiple occasions.

“Domino's Pizza has an outstanding relationship with Michael Waltrip and has continued to build upon that relationship over the past two seasons,” Calwell said. “Michael is a fantastic spokesperson for our brand with a large and loyal fan following in NASCAR. He has also done a great job in our commercials, and he has represented Domino's in a first-class manner every step of the way. We look forward to building upon our relationship in the future.”
