Tommy Lee

Bravo! Foods International Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: BRVO - News), a brand development and marketing company that creates, promotes and distributes vitamin-fortified, flavored milks and other specialty beverages, today announced that Pro Stock driving veteran Tommy Lee will be the new driver for the Slammers Ultimate Milk Chevy Cobalt.

Lee brings impressive credentials from his days in the IHRA, winning six national events, and earning seven No. 1 qualifiers. Lee was named 1997 IHRA Rookie-of-the-Year and reset the IHRA Pro Stock World E.T. record four times while competing in that series. Lee also just missed winning the 2000 IHRA Pro Stock National Championship by two rounds.

"I'm happy that Bravo! Foods is as excited as we are about Tommy driving the Slammers Ultimate Milk Chevy Cobalt," team owner Victor Cagnazzi said. "Tommy has a lot of talent behind the wheel, as his resume shows. As our test driver he has tons of runs under his belt, so he's already comfortable in the car. It is a natural fit that just makes sense."

"We have had a tremendous experience with Erica and Gregg, and are very proud of their accomplishments carrying the Slammers name," Stan Harris, Chief Marketing Officer for Bravo! Foods said. "We look forward to continuing our involvement with Cagnazzi Racing, and new driver Tommy Lee. We have gotten to know Tommy very well over the course of the year, and feel there is great chemistry already in place for our future in the sport of drag racing. We will also continue to be fans of Erica, and wish her the best in her future racing endeavors."

Former driver Erica Enders has parted ways with Cagnazzi Racing and will now captain a Dodge Stratus R/T for Don Schumacher Racing at the upcoming 27th annual Mopar Mile High NHRA Nationals.

Enders, a fan of Slammers Ultimate Milk, will continue on as a spokesperson for Bravo! Brands and will sport a Slammers logo on her Dodge Stratus R/T. Enders is currently seventh in the POWERade championship standings with one final-round appearance and 10 round-wins this season. She qualified No. 1 in Topeka, Kan., and ranked third in the world. She averages a fifth-place start on race day.

Lee will make his debut as the captain of the Slammers Ultimate Chevy Cobalt at the upcoming Mile-High Nationals in Denver, Colo. as well.
