1^st ANNUAL MICCOSUKEE RESORT & GAMING "HOT RODS & REELS" CHARITY FISHING TOURNAMENT AT DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY A BIG SUCCESS

DEBUT TOURNAMENT GENERATES $91,000 FOR

THE DARRELL GWYNN FOUNDATION AND

SPEEDIATRICS AT HALIFAX HOSPITAL

DARRELL WALTRIP WINS TOURNAMENT AND BIGGEST CATCH

DAYTONA, FL - 2/20/2007- Daytona's 1^st Annual 'Miccosukee Resort & Gaming "Hot Rods & Reels" NASCAR Nextel drivers' charity fishing tournament made its debut at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, February 16^th, 2007, an unusually cold morning in Daytona. But the chill in the air didn't dampen the spirits of NASCAR racers and fans as the tournament, modeled after the hugely successful "Hot Rods & Reels" event held at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, raised more than $91,000 for the Darrell Gwynn Foundation to Cure Paralysis and the Betty Jane France Pediatric Center Speediatrics at Halifax Hospital.

"We had high hopes for the first year of Hot Rods & Reels in Daytona, but the final result surpassed even our greatest expectations," said Darrell Gwynn, President of the Darrell Gwynn Foundation (DGF) and event founder. "Fishing for trophy bass alongside NASCAR NEXTEL Cup drivers and other racing celebrities is a fan's dream come true, and Daytona proved that with fans eager to spend a fun morning with their favorite NASCAR celebrities."

Darrell Waltrip, former Daytona 500 winner and current FOX announcer, was the big winner in the fishing tournament, reeling in a bass that tipped the scales at 8.75 lbs and also winning the tournament along side his boatmates. Waltrip shared his boat on Lake Lloyd, Daytona International Speedway's 29-acre infield lake, with Dean Kessell, James Hall and boat guide Barry Macchione. With the biggest fish honors, Waltrip then had the opportunity to draw for the Miccosukee Million, but came up empty-handed.

Highlighting the event was the presentation of a new wheelchair to 14-year old Brian Sundin. Brian is a gifted student with arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that restricts joint movement. "Providing for people with spinal cord injuries is the whole motivation behind Hot Rods & Reels," said Gwynn. "Seeing Brian's joy at receiving his new power wheelchair really drove home the reason we are all here."

Hot Rods & Reels in Daytona echoed the success in Homestead by hosting some of the biggest names in NASCAR, including Tony Stewart, Kyle Petty, Bobby Labonte, Carl Edwards, Kenny Schrader, Ryan Newman, Scott Riggs, Bobby Allison and Donnie Allison.
