Bill Davis Racing (BDR) announced today that Jeremy Mayfield will join the organization to drive the No. 36 Toyota Camry the team will field in 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series competition. Additionally, Dave Blaney, current driver of the No. 22 Bill Davis Racing entry, will remain in the Caterpillar car for the ‘07 season.

“We’re happy to have Dave back in the Caterpillar car next year, and we’re just as excited that Jeremy has decided to join our team,” said Team Owner Bill Davis. “Both of these men are very talented and capable drivers who are veterans of the sport and yet still hungry to win. Both Jeremy and Dave are extremely knowledgeable and will play an important part in taking our race team to the next level.”

360 OTC™ joins Bill Davis Racing to serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 36 Toyota machine beginning with the ’07 Daytona 500. Headquartered in Athens, Ga., Rockford-Montgomery Labs, Inc. is the developer of 360 OTC, a brand of FDA-approved Over-the-Counter (OTC) pain relief medicines. Included in the 360 OTC family are 360 OTC Relief, which relieves symptoms of headache, fatigue, heartburn, upset stomach and generalized aches and pains associated with a hangover, and 360 OTC Lite Relief, a caffeine-free version of 360 OTC. Other products include 360 OTC Ignite, a fast-acting alertness aid that safely helps restore mental alertness during times of drowsiness and fatigue, and 360 OTC Hangover Relief, which relieves generalized aches and pains associated with a hangover.

“We have done an incredible amount of research to find the perfect combination of ownership, team chemistry, driver performance and manufacturers support,” said Michelle Shearer, CEO of Rockford-Montgomery Labs. “There is no question that we have found the best business partner in NASCAR to entrust the value of our brand. “ Having Bill and Gail Davis, Tommy Baldwin, Jeremy Mayfield and Toyota behind our brand on the track every week is a direct reflection of our commitment to NASCAR fans, our retailers and our shareholders. We need to get the 360 OTC No. 36 Toyota Camry in victory lane, and we are very fortunate to have this winning combination at BDR to accomplish that goal.”

“We feel like we’ve put together a winning combination,” Davis said. “Rockford-Montgomery Labs, Inc. is a solid company which has learned in the short time they have been involved in the sport just how big a marketing tool NASCAR can be. They were interested in finding a spokesperson that can get their No. 36 Toyota to victory lane as well as appeal to the people in their market. Everyone agrees that Jeremy is that guy. He’s a proven winner and is obviously a talented and consistent driver, as well as a smart businessman. He brings with him Chase experience and a great deal of excitement, and we feel fortunate to welcome both he and 360 OTC to our family.”

Mayfield most recently competed for Evernham Motorsports. The 37-year-old driver, who hails from Owensboro, Ky., has made 402 starts at NASCAR’s highest level and was a contender in the Chase for the Championship during both the 2004 and 2005 seasons.

“I’m very, very excited about the opportunity to be a part of Bill Davis Racing,” Mayfield said. “I’ve always thought a lot of and had a lot of respect for Bill and Gail, and I’m thrilled to be a part of their organization. Obviously, I’m looking forward to working with Toyota, Todd Holbert [General Manager of Triad Racing Development, Inc.], Tommy Baldwin and everyone involved with the Toyota program, and I’m looking forward to being a part of Toyota’s entrance into NEXTEL Cup racing as well as working with them for a long time to come. Rockford-Montgomery Labs and 360 OTC has also given me a great opportunity, and I’m happy to have the chance to represent their company, their people and their products.

“From what I’ve seen at Bill Davis Racing, they have the resources in place and the desire to do whatever it takes to be competitive, and those are the kinds of people and the type of place that I want to be involved with.”

Mayfield made his first Cup Series start in 1993 before teaming with Cale Yarborough the following season. He remained with that team through most of the 1996 season, before uniting with car owner Michael Kranefuss, who eventually joined forces with Roger Penske in 1997. Mayfield spent the next four seasons with the Penske organization. He scored his first career victory at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway in 1998, and went on to finish seventh in the championship standings that year. Mayfield earned two more victories in 2000. He joined Evernham Motorsports beginning with the 2002 season, where he continued to prove his talent by winning races in 2004 and 2005. Mayfield has five NEXTEL Cup victories under his belt, has started from the pole position nine times and has posted 96 top-10 finishes throughout his career.

Blaney, a Hartford, Ohio, native, has been behind the wheel of the Caterpillar car the entire 2006 season. His first partnership with Bill and Gail Davis came back in 1998, when Blaney drove part-time in the NASCAR Busch Series. He joined the Cup Series in 2000 and remained with Bill Davis Racing through 2001. After departing to race for Jasper Motorsports in 2003, he returned to BDR to drive part-time in the Cup Series in 2004. In 2005, Blaney was invited drive for Richard Childress Racing, where he posted two top-10 finishes. In all, Blaney has made 222 starts in NASCAR’s premiere series and has captured one pole position and 19 top-10 finishes during his tenure.

“It’s certainly nice to know with half the season left where I’ll be next year, and I’m glad it will be back with Bill Davis Racing,” Blaney stated. “This is the place I have always considered home, and though we’ve struggled a bit more than anyone thought we would this year, we all think the future is bright for BDR. I’m excited about the opportunity to be a part of Toyota’s entrance into the Cup Series, and I’m looking forward to working with Jeremy next year. I think next season has the possibility to be the best one Bill Davis Racing has ever seen.”
