BRACK TRANSFERRED TO INDIANAPOLIS HOSPITAL FROM DALLAS

INDIANAPOLIS, Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2003 – IRL IndyCarTM Series driver Kenny
Brack was transported Oct. 21 via air to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis
from Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, said Dr. Henry Bock, director of
medical services for the Indy Racing League.

Brack, the 1999 Indianapolis 500 winner and 1998 IndyCar Series champion,
remains in satisfactory condition and will be under the care of Dr. Kevin
Scheid, an orthopedic surgeon from OrthoIndy.

“I want to thank everyone for their support for (wife) Anita and I the last
week,” Brack said from his hospital room. “I just didn’t know how many
friends, fans and racing enthusiasts were out there. It is great to know
they are behind me, and I’m anxious to see everyone in the near future.”

Brack suffered a fractured right femur, a fractured sternum, fractured
lumbar vertebrae and fractures to both ankles in an accident on Lap 188 of
the Chevy 500 on Oct. 12 at Texas Motor Speedway, the final race of the
2003 IndyCar Series season.

He underwent successful surgery on his right femur and both ankles Oct. 12
and successful surgery on his back Oct. 13.
