First Drivers Get on Board for Exclusive New NASCAR HOTPASS(TM) Only on DIRECTV

SOURCE: DIRECTV Inc., Monday January 29, 2007

‘Satellite Television Leader Also Debuts National Advertising Campaign Featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr. as the Debut of the Service Draws Near

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jan. 29, 2007–In 2007, DIRECTV will take the NASCAR television experience to another level as it debuts the highly anticipated and exclusive NASCAR HOTPASS(TM) only on DIRECTV during the Daytona 500 on February 18 at Daytona International Speedway. Today, the nation’s leading satellite television service provider announced the first five drivers for the debut of this new interactive television service that will enable fans to ride shotgun with their favorite drivers by literally taking them into the cars and pits of the top drivers and teams in NASCAR.

NASCAR HOTPASS(TM) only on DIRECTV, will feature five channels (DIRECTV channels 794-799) completely devoted to specific drivers and their racing teams each week. The service will debut at the Daytona 500 with the following lineup of top NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers:

Dale Earnhardt Jr. - Dale Earnhardt Incorporated
Kevin Harvick - Richard Childress Racing
Jimmie Johnson - Hendrick Motorsports
Tony Stewart - Joe Gibbs Racing
Michael Waltrip - Waltrip-Jasper Racing

“We’re proud that the first five drivers who have decided to participate in this incredible new service are among NASCAR’s most elite competitors,” said David Hill, president of entertainment for DIRECTV. “The drivers are energized and excited about this new way to translate the incredible NASCAR experience, but it is the fans who are in for a truly amazing experience.”

To drive national awareness for this exciting and exclusive new package, DIRECTV has completed its first national advertising campaign for the service, featuring the sport’s most popular personality, Dale Earnhardt Jr. The spot is set to debut just before the Daytona 500 and is a continuation of DIRECTV’s “Fourth Wall” campaign where top actors and athletes recreate a scene from a famous movie or a noteworthy moment of sports competition.

The resulting effect in this case will be Earnhardt Jr. directly addressing the viewing audience while in the middle of a Victory Lane celebration following an actual NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race victory. This same technology was employed in previous DIRECTV spots using footage from popular films such as “Star Trek-The Undiscovered Country,” “Dukes of Hazard,” “Back to the Future” and recently, NFL game footage featuring Colts quarterback and DIRECTV NFL SUNDAY TICKET spokesman Peyton Manning.

With NASCAR HOTPASS(TM) only on DIRECTV, each of the five dedicated driver channels will offer multiple camera angles, real-time car telemetry, in-car audio communication and a dedicated announcer team. The new service, combined with race day telecasts and nascar.com coverage, will give fans the most comprehensive and powerful NASCAR experience possible.

DIRECTV customers can now purchase NASCAR HOTPASS only on DIRECTV(TM). More information is available on www.directv.com/hotpass.

DIRECTV is an official sponsor of NASCAR and an official sponsor of Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and the # 07 car.

DIRECTV Customer Testimonials

Below are a few satisfied DIRECTV customers that ordered their service through DirectStarTV but don’t take their word for it, see how great DIRECTV is for yourself. Order Now.

“I just made the switch to DIRECTV a few weeks ago and love it! Every channel is consistently clear and the audio is better than Time Warner’s Digital Cable. The new remotes are much better than the older ones and the actual receiver is half the size of my DVD player. And for the first three months, HBO and Cinemax are FREE! In fact, just last night I watched “Sultry Confessions” on Cinemax and really enjoyed the plot and acting. Great stuff.

DIRECTV via DirectStar is awesome!”

“DIRECTV was successfully installed in my home today. Our installer, Rob Taylor, was great! He was funny yet extremely helpful! It was an enjoyable experience. Thank you again DirectStarTV!”

Stacee Flanagan
Atlanta, GA

“I ordered the Direct TV TOTAL CHOICE PREMIER package today through DirectStarTV, I could not be more satisfied with the simplicity of the whole process. I set up an appointment for an installer to come set up my receiver and satellite… not only was he was on time, he also showed me how to use the system and then I sat back and watched. The picture is clearer than my older cable service and its so easy to use and understand. My favorite attribute is the fact that I can set limits and locks for my children’s viewing time and I can feel at ease with what they are watching television while I am in another room. Thank you DIRECTV (DirectStarTV).”
