Green to pilot special <I>Scooby-Doo</I> car.

In celebration of the release of the Scooby-Doo movie on June 14, America Online and Warner Bros. Pictures have teamed up to create a special Scooby-Doo paint scheme that will appear on the America Online-sponsored Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by NASCAR Winston Cup driver Jeff Green.

Green will field the America Online/Scooby-Doo car in the NASCAR Winston Cup Coca Cola 600 on Sunday May 26, 2002, at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C., with sidekicks Scooby-Doo and Shaggy on the car, helping him speed to the finish line in the season's longest race.

Action Performance designed the car through a collaborative effort with America Online and Warner Bros. Pictures to highlight the release of the new Scooby-Doo movie. As part of the Scooby-Doo program, Action Performance will produce limited-edition replicas, apparel, and other merchandise for collectors via its distributor network, RCCA, trackside, and online at www.goracing.com.

"Scooby-Doo is a beloved character with tremendous brand equity," stated Erin Corbett, Vice President of National Promotions for Warner Bros. Pictures. "We've been able to build on that brand with a diverse, extensive, family-oriented promotional campaign that offers tremendous awareness benefits to everyone involved. We are really pleased with the creativity and enthusiasm of our promotional partners, and we look forward to working closely with them."
