NBC SPORTS TO HAVE EXPANDED COVERAGE OF AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES EVENT AT
MOSPORT



            BRASELTON, Ga. (August 11, 2003) - NBC Sports will have
expanded live coverage of Sunday's American Le Mans Series Grand Prix of
Mosport, presenting a two-hour, 30-minute telecast of the professional
sports car racing event at the Toronto-area Mosport International Raceway.

            NBC Sports will be on the air from 2 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
(EDT), adding 30 minutes to its normal two-hour telecasts of American Le
Mans Series races. The timed two-hour, 45-minute race begins at 1:30
p.m. and the telecast will join the race in progress.

            "The expanded format for this telecast will allow us to
bring more live racing action to our viewers, as well as tell more
stories about the unique aspects and personalities of the American Le
Mans Series," said Bill Herbstman, Production Coordinator for NBC
Sports. "Mosport is a track that always produces lots of action and we
look forward to presenting a great show on NBC Sports."

            Rick Benjamin will be the anchor announcer for the Mosport
telecast, with Bill Adam providing race analysis. Martin Haven and Jon
Beekhuis will report the action from the pits and Tracy Wolfson will be
feature reporter. The telecast will be produced by Jim Roller for
Wheeler TV and directed by Billy McCoy.

The telecast from Mosport will be the second of three NBC Sports
telecasts of American Le Mans Series races this season. The network will
also televise the Sept. 7 event from Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in
Monterey, Calif.
