Greenville, SC

With the temperatures hovering just above freezing, BFGoodrich® Tires, one of the world's leading manufacturers of off-road tires, scored its first rock crawling victory of 2004 by winning the CalRocs Put Up or Shut Up Shootout in California.

Team All-Pro Racing, led by driver Jon Bundrant and spotter Larry McRae started right where they left off at the end of their 2003 championship season winning the first professional rock crawling event of the 2004 season and their second consecutive Shootout.

"It's great to come back to the second annual Cal Roc's Put Up or Shut Up and win our second consecutive victory at this event. What a great way to start the year," said Bundrant.

Bundrant and Team All-Pro Racing use BFGoodrich Tires' proven Krawler T/A extreme terrain tire. Designed specifically for off-road use, the Krawler T/A features an ultra-aggressive, deep-lug tread pattern and one of the most puncture-resistant sidewalls ever built into a tire.

"2003 was a great year for BFGoodrich Tires in the sport of rock crawling," said Todd Steen, motorsports marketing manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "We are glad to start 2004 with a victory at the first event and we look forward to building on our 2003 record."

2003 was the second consecutive year BFGoodrich outperformed the competition. Last year, BFGoodrich Tires won more rock-crawling events than all other tire manufacturers combined. This season's wins were spread across the UROC, Pro Rock, RCCA, EROCC, NEUROC and Cal ROCS series. Since 2002, BFGoodrich Tires has brought home a total of 17 rock-crawling championships.
