SOUTHFIELD, MI USA
    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."
