West Caldwell, NJ (February, 13, 2008) -- Rolex GT Driver, Bryce Miller, has two new associate Driver Sponsors joining his 2008 Grand-Am Championship assault - Resorts International & Total Lubricants. Both partners look to expand their brand awareness in North American markets by traveling on the thirteen race circuit which stretches from coast to coast and as far north and south as Montreal and Mexico City. The No. 66 TRG Porsche is currently 2nd in the point standings of the Grand-Am Championship due to a 2nd place finish at the season opener – The Rolex 24 at Daytona. The livery of both companies appeared on the No. 66 machine for this famed event.

“I am very excited to have these partners with us for the 2008 season.” Miller stated, “Together they bring corporate values focusing on performance and entertainment – values which are important to the industry of motorsport and essential for networking with prospects and customers at racetracks via hospitality. These are strong relationships and we plan to work with them on an array of projects this year.” These associate sponsors will accompany longstanding associate partner IPC and Marquis Jet who will remain as the title sponsor to Bryce Miller for its third consecutive year.

 “With casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Tunica, Resorts International has become synonymous on the West and East coasts as well as in the mid-South as the home of premier gaming and superior, personalized customer service,” said Nicholas L. Ribis, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Resorts International Holdings, LLC.  “The sponsorship of Bryce Miller will further reinforce the Resorts brand at races from Montreal to Florida, and New York to California, plus to millions of viewers throughout the country. We wish Bryce the best of luck in his pursuit of the Grand Am Rolex GT Championship.”

Resorts Destinations offers guests a variety of premier gaming and entertainment experiences in each of its locations. Though the offerings at each property are unique, each Resorts Destinations hotel/casino is committed to the core values of the company, highlighted by consistently delivering personalized service to each customer.
