Sauer, Swansboro to Team for Winston Cup 2002 Season

Richmond, Va. --- The C.F.Sauer Company and Swansboro Motor Company, Inc.,
announced today their agreement to an all-Virginia team for the 2002 Winston
Cup season. The two Richmond-based companies also named Rick Mast, the
Rockbridge, Va. veteran Winston Cup and Busch Grand National racer as driver
of the number 90 car.

Conrad F. Sauer IV, President and CEO of the venerable spice, mayonnaise,
margarine, and condiment company said, "We believe that Winston Cup offers
the best opportunity to showcase our brands."

The 114-year old C.F. Sauer Company is family owned and operates
manufacturing facilities in Richmond,Va., Greenville, S.C. , New Century,
Kan., San Luis Obispo,Calif., and a distribution center in Orlando, Fla.
The Company's brands are Sauer's, Dukes', Bama, Spice Hunter, Gold Medal,
and Mrs. Filberts and also manufactures customer label margarine products
for the retail, food service, and industrial markets. The Company also owns
Pleasant's Hardware.

"This marks our second season in racing," Sauer stated, "and everyone at
The Company looks forward to a long and productive association with Junie
Donlavey."

Donlavey, owner of Swansboro Motor Company, added, "For the 52 years I've
been in racing, I've wanted to field an all-Virginia team, and I reckon if
you wait and work long enough, your dreams can come true."

Since 1949, Junie Donlavey has been involved in every aspect of stock car
racing. With 862 starts in 839 different Nascar Winston Cup Series races, he
epitomizes the ever-burning spirit of the sport's competition, while
maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor that has endeared and earned the
admiration of fans and of generations in the Nascar family. In 1998, Junie
received the STP Richard Petty Achievement Award and in 1999 was the
recipient of the NMPA/Meyers Brothers Award and the Ford Motor Company
Spirit of Ford Award, Ford's highest motor sports honor.

Rick Mast began his racing career at 16 years old, driving a '57 Chevy in
the hobby division at Natural Bridge, Va. From that humble beginning, Rick
has competed in the Busch Grand Nationals and in 1988 got his start in
Winston Cup. In 1994, Rick won the pole for the inaugural Brickyard 400,
finished second by inches to Dale Earnhart at Rockingham and posted three
third place finishes.

While driving for the likes of Butch Mock, Carl Yarborough, and A.J. Foyt,
Rick has always envisioned driving for Junie and ,as fate would have it, got
that opportunity in the late stages of the 2001 season.

Said Mast, "The Chief, Junie, called me and said, 'Rick, I want you to
finish out the season for us. Now, I can't pay you much, but we're going to
have more fun than anyone in racing.' Well not since I traded a cow to get
my first race car had I felt so much enthusiasm and contentment."

In addition to announcing the racing association, The C.F. Sauer Company
named three non-profit charity affiliates to be involved in promotional
efforts of the new team. The charities are the United Network for Organ
Sharing, the Richmond based non-profit that manages the nation's organ
transplant system; Victory Junction Gang, a retreat for seriously ill
children founded by Kyle and Pattie Petty and new member of the Hole in the
Wall Gang Camps founded by Paul Newman; and the Winston Cup Racing Wives
Auxiliary, which was established in 1965 to provide aid to Winston Cup
families suffering injury or tragedy as a result of preparation or
participation in Winston Cup events.
