CONCORD, NC (May 3, 2008)
--- Yates Racing announced today that Experian Consumer Direct(SM), the leading provider of online direct-to-consumer credit reports, scores, and monitoring products, will sponsor the No. 38 entry for an additional number of races for the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. Yates Racing driver, David Gilliland, who pilots the No. 38 FreeCreditReport.comTM Ford Fusion, will continue to feature the company's website, www.FreeCreditReport.com.

Gilliland has a history with Experian Consumer Direct as a sponsor, racing the No. 38 FreeCreditReport.com Ford Fusion for a total of eight races in the 2008 Sprint Cup series as well as driving the FreeCreditReport.com Ford 19 times in the 2007 NASCAR Nationwide Series.

"It's wonderful to know that our No. 38 team will continue to be partnered with FreeCreditReport.com," commented Gilliland. "They have been a wonderful sponsor to our team and it is very comforting to know that we're going to showcase our No. 38 FreeCreditReport.com Ford for more races this year. Everyone at Yates Racing has worked extremely hard this year to yield strong finishes every week, and we look forward to continuing that tradition for FreeCreditReport.com."

"FreeCreditReport.com is proud to be able to extend our sponsorship with Yates Racing and David Gilliland as the No. 38 team continues to bring home solid performances each week," said Ty Taylor, Experian Interactive Group President. "Yates Racing is one of the most well-respected teams on the circuit and we look forward to continuing our support of their efforts in the 2008 Sprint Cup Series."

Already in the 2008 season, Gilliland has achieved a top-10 finish at Bristol and just recently obtained his third consecutive top-15 finish at Talladega Superspeedway this past weekend. Gilliland is also currently 18th in the NASCAR driver point standings after the first nine races of the season.

Experian Consumer Direct and the FreeCreditReport.com sponsorship will be featured at Richmond International Raceway this weekend in the Crown Royal Presents the Dan Lowry 400.

"This is exactly the kind of announcement we have been striving for this season," said Max Jones, car owner and general manager. "We are glad to see that FreeCreditReport.com is continuing their affiliation with Yates Racing and David Gilliland. FreeCreditReport.com was our first primary sponsorship announcement at Yates Racing for the season and we are excited to have such a great partner continue their sponsorship efforts with our team."
