IMG MOTORSPORTS INKS CART EVENT SPONSORSHIPS

          IMG Motorsports introduced three new sponsors to its
     CART event properties.  Shell Oil Products Company has
     signed on as the official gas/oil of both the ITT Automotive
     Detroit Grand Prix and the Medic Drug Grand Prix of
     Cleveland.  Shell's plans include hospitality, on-site
     presence and pre-event promotions in each market.  St.
     Louis-based Champion Spark Plug was named the official spark
     plug of the ITT Automotive Detroit Grand Prix.  Champion
     will partner with Murray's Auto Parts stores to run a pre-
     event promo, in which customers will receive free general
     admission tickets to the event with each qualified purchase
     during that month.  Finally, Kmart Corp. will return as the
     official retail chain for the ITT Automotive Detroit Grand
     Prix, bringing its "Kmart Kids Race Against Drugs" program
     on-site during race weekend (IMG).
