Toyo Selects Fan Focus Model Search
Winner

TOPEKA, Kan. (Jan. 7, 2009) – From a field of more than
30 young women, Toyo Tires has selected Tracy Morrow, of Las Vegas, Nev., as
the 2008 SPEED World Challenge Fan Focus model search contest winner.

A joint promotion between Toyo Tires and Modified Magazine
since 2005, the Fan Focus Model Search asks aspiring models to sign up online
for a chance to become an official SPEED World Challenge model. From the
hundreds of applicants received each year, only three ladies are selected per
event to work alongside SPEED World Challenge teams and fans. At the end of
the season the list is narrowed down to 10, from which Toyo Tires selects one
lucky winner to receive a free Web site from ModelsDesired.com (a $599 value) and an
interview with Toyo for a coveted promotional modeling contract.

Twenty-three year-old Morrow was selected as the top of
the 2008 class. In addition to being stunningly photogenic, Morrow’s
friendly and outgoing nature allowed her to mingle easily with fans and team
members at Sebring.

“Picking one winner from the Fan Focus model search
gets harder every year,” Toyo Tires Manager of Events and Motorsports
Stan Chen said. “The bar continues to be raised, but Tracy’s
portfolio and recommendations stood out. I expect to see another talented
group of ladies at the track in 2009.”

Thank you for all the love and support you guys have given me! It really keeps me going and makes me believe in what I can do! Thank you so much!

Lots of Love!
