INDIANAPOLIS (August 05, 2003) - NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway has renewed its licensing agreement with International Speedway Corporation (ISC) through 2005, forging a multi-year relationship with the ownership group of some of America's greatest racing facilities.

William R. Donaldson, Chairman and CEO of Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp.

The racing centers currently feature ISC properties Daytona International Speedway and Richmond International Raceway on the simulators, two of the six NASCAR Winston Cup Series tracks that NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway customers can choose from when competing in simulated races. The development of additional ISC tracks is in Perfect Line's plans during the term of the license.

Perfect Line's NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway racing centers are the largest chain of officially-licensed, NASCAR-branded interactive entertainment stores in the world, and offers its customers the most popular NASCAR merchandise available. Perfect Line has integrated sophisticated proprietary racing simulator technology with an exclusive NASCAR license for location-based entertainment and licenses for popular NASCAR tracks and teams.
