38 Consecutive NASCAR Winston Cup Champions Share One Secret to Success: Reliance on Moog(R) Chassis Parts

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 5, 2003 -- As NASCAR's premier racing series begins a new title sponsor relationship at its 2003 banquet in New York City today, one of the sport's highest-profile winning streaks remains unchanged: Moog chassis parts have driven each of the past 38 Winston Cup champions -- including 2003 champion Matt Kenseth -- to victory. Moog products are manufactured and marketed by Federal-Mogul Corporation

NASCAR's premier racing series welcomes Nextel as its title sponsor for the 2004 racing season, ending the highly successful 33-year reign of R.J. Reynolds' Winston brand, yet Moog will continue to dominate the action among Cup racing's best teams -- just as it has since 1966, according to Michael Proud, director of brand marketing for Federal-Mogul.

"Moog components represent industry-best technology and quality -- this fact made Moog number one in NASCAR racing 38 years ago and it's just as powerful today," Proud said. "Above all, the clear superiority of Moog products has led entire generations of automotive service technicians to demand Moog for their customers' vehicles."

Developed and tested in partnership with NASCAR teams, Moog steering and suspension components are engineered to deliver smoother operation through the parts' full range of motion, resulting in more precise and responsive steering. Moog engineers combine the brand's commitment to track-tested performance with an exclusive problem-solving design philosophy that leads to products that improve on original equipment parts and deliver technician- friendly designs.

"Automotive technicians demand Moog for their customers' vehicles because they understand our products address the real-life performance and durability issues that cause premature failure," Proud said. "Moog means noticeably better performance and unsurpassed service life, which together lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty."
