INTERVIEW SCOTT STRICKER 2
6. Being teamed up with Black Cat Racing could we see Jerry Glanville racing in the Busch Series this season?
Answer: I don’t think we will see Jerry Glanville race in the Busch series, although I’m sure we will see him a lot around the garage area. Jerry has committed to entering the March Nextel Cup race in Las Vegas. BCR has team up with Jerry for this race with the NRA as the primary sponsor. Jerry is looking forward to this event however realizes how tough the competition is within racing highest series.
7. Are their any plans in the not too distant future to enter races in the Nextel Cup Series?
Answer: Yes as mentioned above, we will make a Nextel Cup appearance. The first will be in March in Las Vegas as a major associate on the NRA car driven by Jerry Glanville and supported by BCR. It is our goal to get two additional Nextel Cup appearances
throughout the 2004 racing season and eventually be a full time sponsor within the series by 2006.
8. Who will be your driver/s for the 2004 season?
Awnser: BCR has selected Conrad Burr to be the driver for the 2004 Busch entry.
9. Is there anything in the works for The FanZ Car that has not been announced that you can let us in on?
Awnser: Next week The FanZCar will announce the acquisition of Fans Motorsports. Fans Motorsports is a like-organization that provides a fan-based sponsorship. We felt it would benefit our organization to combine the two organizations member base to provide
a solid foundation for which to build on into the future. This acquisition demonstrates The FanZCar commitment to this program and our goals to be one of NASCAR longest running team sponsors throughout the years.
10. What do the fans have to do to become part of The FanZ Car? What does that get them?

11. Is there anything you would like to say that I have not asked here? Your open forum.
Awnser The FanZCar program is a revolutionary program that will ultimately change fans involvement within spectator sports (as a whole) forever. We have started something very special and look forward to watching it flourish. Ultimately, in order to achieve success as laid out in our business plan we will need the support and participation of many fans of racing. This support will not only allow us to elevate our sponsorship position but to enhance our member benefits and become a strong voice within the racing industry. It is our goal over this year to get our message out to the millions of race fans and call them into action to become part of our innovative organization that can ultimately put its mark on a sport and lifestyle that these very fans helped to create.
12. What is your advice to the kids to day that are trying to break into racing? Where should they start?
Awnser: Unfortunately racing still doesn’t have as organized of a recruitment program as other professional sports such as football or baseball. It’s hard for young aspiring racers to get noticed or get the opportunity to exceed within this sport. We have carried out countless conversations with young drivers coaching them on ‘blowing their own horn’. In racing they have to make themselves known, because there aren't many people out there trying to actively find them. It’s important to start in the lower racing series to get as much experience and laps under their belt as possible. In addition they must have some entrepreneurial skills to market themselves to the racing community and as important, to organizations around them to help fund their racing careers. This can be a challenge for
young drivers that just want to drive. However in order to be successful you have to harness your vigor for driving along with marketability to sell yourself to support your career as you make you way up the ladder. Another goal of The FanZCar is to start a type of scholarship program for young racers in the form of sponsorship that would allow us to support these drivers while they hone their skills and elevate themselves to stardom.
