About Racin For A Livin
Racin' For a Livin' is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to receive seven fully
sponsored rides in a NASCAR Busch Series car in the 2007 season. Created by
veteran open-wheel racer Jerry VanDenHul, the series will kick-off using direct
internet voting to select the twelve participants. Voters can view the potential
rookie drivers, learn about their background, and use internet video to learn why
they are chasing their dreams of NASCAR glory.

JVI Productions LLC has announced that Racin' For a Livin' submissions for rookie
drivers ended on March 6, 2006.

The RacinforaLivin.com website has become a major destination for auto racing fans
on the internet, and will begin a national sweepstakes competition this weekend with
fantastic prizes. Details of the program, news about the series, and an overview of
the competition is laid-out on the website, along with a fully-interactive user's
forum.

Racin' For a Livin' will be featuring top broadcasters, drivers, and crew chiefs as
the judges when the driving competition begins with the top twelve rookies.
Featuring some of the most well-respected tracks in the country, Racin' For a Livin'
will put these rookies in pressure-packed situations, and one driver will be
eliminated in each episode.

The off-track poise of the rookies will also be tested with a variety of interesting
encounters with top celebrities, racing legends, and current NASCAR drivers. Judging
will be on driving ability, public appearance, and personality. And the viewers play
a key role. Internet users will have a vote for who stays, and who goes.

The final selection of a winner will be done in a two hour special, with each
regular season episode presented in a one hour version. Network television
negotiations are in progress, with national primetime exposure for all participants,
win or lose. Details will be announced shortly. JVI Productions LLC will not release
the details for television due to the fact that it does not want any of the rookies
to gain an unfair advantage in the media. The entire series will also be broadcast
on RacinforaLivin.com using the latest in Internet TeleVision technology.
