As grand prize winners of the Best Western - AAA "Ultimate Road Trip"
sweepstakes, Boyd Alldredge and his wife Nancy, of St. Joseph, Mo., began a
nine-day road trip from Michigan to North Carolina on Sunday. They are
traveling in style -- in a street-legal version of the No. 99 Best Western
Toyota Camry race car.

The trip began with Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Michigan
International Speedway and the Alldredges continue their 1,138-mile journey
through August 25, visiting the nation's top attractions, theme parks and Best
Western hotels.  Their journey will be guided by a TripTik(R) Travel Planner
provided by AAA.

"This is definitely different than anything we've ever done before --
we're huge race fans and are excited about the race in Michigan," said
Alldredge. "We look forward to driving the No. 99 car."

The road trip concludes August 25 with a visit to Raceworld USA and tours
of the Michael Waltrip Racing and Roush Fenway Racing shops near Charlotte,
N.C.  The Alldredges are also scheduled to appear on two-time Daytona 500
winner Michael Waltrip's XM Radio show -- Michael Waltrip "Out Loud."

"I can't wait for Mr. Alldredge to share with my listeners everything that
he saw and experienced on the ultimate road trip," said Michael Waltrip,
long-time spokesperson for Best Western. "Everyone here at Waltrip Racing is
looking forward to seeing the Best Western car pull in to town."
