Titan Motorcycles at the Indy 500, With 90 Million Race Fans Tuned In
    PHOENIX, May 28 -- Titan Motorcycle Company
will be "on board" for the running of the 83rd Indianapolis 500
to be televised by ABC Sports on Sunday, May 30, at 12 noon Eastern time.
Titan will be featured through the in-car camera of Kelley Racing Team's car
No. 28, driven by Mark Dismore.  This annual event is expected to be viewed by
over 90 million race fans worldwide.
    "This is the beginning of an exciting sponsorship agreement between Kelley
Racing and Titan Motorcycle Co. of America," said Jim Freudenberg, general
manager of Kelley Racing.  "We are very excited about teaming with Titan and
look forward to a long and rewarding relationship."
    Titan joins MCI WorldCom, Delphi Automotive Systems, and other high-
profile sponsors, to promote the Kelley Racing Team.  Titan will also work
with Kelley Racing to develop promotional projects for both companies with the
IRL (Indy Racing League) racing circuit.  Titan's involvement transcends the
traditional sponsorship relationship as the Kelley Automotive Group has Titan
dealerships in Georgia and Indiana.
    "Titan is very involved with motor sports," said Mark Green, marketing
manager at Titan Motorcycles.  "Our customers are auto-racing fans, and this
is the ultimate event. We are honored to be part of the Indy 500."
