December 17, 2004 BFGoodrich Tires Honored By Off-Road Racing Series Greenville, SC BFGoodrich Tires was recognized by SCORE International, the world's premier off-road racing series, as the 2004 SCORE Contingency Company and the 2004 SCORE Pit Support Team during its annual awards banquet in Primm, Nev. With its 19th straight overall four-wheel victory in the season-ending legendary Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 in November, BFGoodrich Tires was recognized for its contribution to the success of SCORE. "We are honored to receive these two prestigious awards," said Todd Steen, motorsports marketing manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "We were thrilled to win our 19th straight Baja 1000 and we are even more excited to be recognized by the series." 2004 marks the 17th time BFGoodrich Tires has been voted the top Contingency Company and the 18th time it has been honored as the premier pit support team. "BFGoodrich Tires has been a continuing support to all of desert racing, especially SCORE, for more than 25 years," said Sal Fish, SCORE chief executive officer and president. "To win the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 once is a major feat, but to capture the world's most prestigious desert race 19 straight years is unbelievable. BFGoodrich Tires are the most dominant desert-racing tires in the world and we are privileged to honor them. Their grassroots support of desert racers is unparalleled." BFGoodrich Tires doesn't simply provide product for racers, teams of experienced volunteers from around the country attend each race teaming up with the brand to offer pit support to racers including refueling, repairs and other duties. In addition, BFGoodrich Racing personnel work with series officials to map out courses (some as long as 1,000 miles) and provide valuable preparation material and course information to competitors each race. "The volunteers are one of the major stories in off-road racing," said Steen. "Without there help, these races would not be possible." BFGoodrich® Tires combines technological expertise with vast motorsports experience, delivering a high-performance tire for every type of vehicle from ultra-high performance tuner vehicles, sports cars and SUVs to the hottest sport trucks, pickups and rock-crawling rigs in the world. For more than 30 years, BFGoodrich Tires has used motorsports as a proving ground. Success on the street begins with winning on the track and BFGoodrich Tires is involved in every type of racing, including oval, road, drag, desert and extreme rock-crawling. With 19 consecutive Baja 1000 wins, the most wins in rock-crawling history and an unmatched record on pavement, BFGoodrich Tires has proven the only records it breaks are its own.
