4INFO Keeps Fans Up to Speed with NASCAR Text Service

Mobile Search Company Delivers NASCAR Results, Standings, and Schedule to Your Cell Phone

PALO ALTO, Calif. – June 29, 2006 – 4INFO, Inc., the leading mobile search company, announced today the addition of a new free sports service for NASCAR results and standings. The service allows users to query for race and driver information and set text alerts from their cell phones. Now, avid race fans are able to stay up to speed on all the Nextel Cup Series track action, when they can't catch the race live or on television.

NASCAR Race Alerts are a perfect solution for dedicated fans who are interested in both race results and popular drivers, such as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., or Tony Stewart. With 4INFO's service, fans can set a race start alert, ensuring that they will never miss that start of that Saturday night special again, as well as a race end alert with the finishing positions. Driver queries can be made during, or between races, and will return live race position or Chase for the Cup standings, respectively.

"Whether at an event or in front of the television, watching a NASCAR race can be a full day's commitment," said Bob Roth, Director of Marketing at 4INFO. "4INFO's new free service lets anyone with a cell phone stay up to speed on the spins, wins, and bump drafts when they aren't able to watch the race."
