 ROAD AMERICA, SNAP-ON ANNOUNCE

 ELKHART LAKE, WI -- Officials for Road America and Snap-on Tools today
announced the construction

 Jim Haynes, President of Road America, said that construction of the
60-foot long steel and concrete
 structure -- which will span the track at the entrance to the famed RA
Carousel (Turn 9) -- will begin this
 fall, with a completion date set for June 1, 1998, prior to the start
of Road America's 1998 schedule of

 "I am extremely pleased to be involved with one of Wisconsin's major

Haynes said. "Our agreement with
 Snap-on includes promotional, entertainment, and signage packages, as
well as exclusive advertising
 rights to the new Carousel bridge.

 "This bridge will open up an additional 70-acre area, and will allow
parking for more than 1,000 cars. Future
 plans include bleachers and motorhome parking for the area. It also
offers a totally new major viewing area
 for our fans."
