3M Window Film Technology Takes Its Turn on the Track in 2012
Roush Fenway’s Greg Biffle Enters Race Season With 3M™ Crystalline 90 Window Film
To Keep Him Cool and Protected on Race Day
ST. PAUL, Minn. – February 6, 2012 – True competitors constantly strive to find an edge over
their opponents, and NASCAR may be the best example of that concept in practice. Drivers understand that any advantage
can mean the difference between a successful sweep across the finish line or a drop in the standings. As the 2012 racing
season gets underway, Greg Biffle and his #16 Ford will find one advantage in 3M’s Crystalline 90 Automotive Window
Film.
3M’s Crystalline 90 Window Film is the ultimate in high end technology, offering clear film technology
with outstanding heat rejection. That means a cooler vehicle and reduced glare, which is paramount at tracks like Daytona
where Biffle will first utilize the film.
3M Crystalline Automotive Window Films feature a proprietary, multilayer optical film technology that
combines over 200 layers in a film that is thinner than a Post-it® Note. This unique technology is the reason a clear film
can reject more heat than darker films, making Biffle comfortable during hundreds of laps around the track.
"I am really looking forward to using the 3M™ CR90 Window Film in the racecar this season,”
said Biffle. “We tried it out last year in Phoenix and I felt like it made a real difference in reducing the solar heat
in the car. It can get extremely hot inside the racecar, so anything that can be done to cut the heat helps tremendously.”
The film was first tested by Penske Racing on some 20 windshields over the course of 2011, including
Kurt Busch’s #22 car. Its early adoption in 2012 by Biffle is a timely opportunity to enhance the driver’s
prowess on the track at the outset of the new season. Since the film is also non-metallized, it raises the stakes for
Biffle’s competition because there will be no interference with any of his vehicle’s electronics, so lines of
communication will remain as clear as his path to the finish line.
"We’re excited for Greg to adopt 3M’s automotive window films on his car in 2012,”
said Jon Hanbury, marketing manager for the 3M Renewable Energy Division. “Great testing results and NASCAR’s
approval last year only validates its benefit, and now Greg can take full advantage of 3M’s on-the-track offerings.”
3M's innovative window films have provided sun control benefits for more than 40 years. 3M's automotive
window film lines offer a variety of solutions, to reject heat and control glare, while improving the look of your vehicle
– on and off the track. Visit

Crown Royal® Kicks Off Nationwide Call for Heroes
Whisky Brand to Honor an American Hero with Naming Rights to the Brickyard 400 at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. 7, 2012 – There are certain people who go above and beyond to change people’s
lives. From protecting our country to serving as leaders in the community, Crown Royal is looking to pay tribute to those
who are making a difference. The whisky brand is encouraging adult fans to nominate their personal heroes (21 or older) for
naming rights to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, the Crown Royal Presents the “Your Hero’s Name Here”TM
400 at the Brickyard.
The race, to be held on July 29, 2012 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, represents the ultimate celebration
of heroes and will mark the sixth time Crown Royal has awarded race naming rights to an adult fan. For the past two years,
Crown Royal accepted nominations for military and service members exclusively. Not only has the 2012 race moved to the historic
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but the annual program—now called “Your Hero’s Name Here”—has been
expanded to accept entries for all of the unsung heroes who make a difference in their communities, from firefighters and
police officers, to first responders and local volunteers.
“The expansion of the nomination category gives adult fans the opportunity to honor all men and
women who truly make a difference in their day-to-day lives,” said Yvonne Briese, VP Marketing, DIAGEO North American
whisky. “We’ve been given the opportunity to shine a spotlight on those who unselfishly commit themselves
to giving back, and we look forward to seeing one of our heroes kiss the bricks in Indianapolis this summer.”
To nominate a hero for consideration for naming rights to the race, fans are encouraged to visit the
Crown Royal Facebook page (Facebook.com/CrownRoyal), where they will be asked to describe a heroic act by the nominee in 100
words or less. Nominations will be accepted until April 30, 2012 and the five finalists will be announced in May. Once the
finalists are announced, fans will be provided the chance to cast a vote and determine the winner. The winner will be revealed
in a special ceremony leading up to the race.
As part of the prize package, the grand-prize winner will travel to Indianapolis for the race, where
he or she will be provided an once-in-a-lifetime experience, which includes waving the green flag to signal the start of the
race and delivering the trophy bearing his or her moniker to the race winner in Victory Lane.
The race is the culminating event of the Crown Royal Heroes ProjectTM, an ongoing commitment to recognize
everyday heroes and give back to their communities. As part of the project, special commemorative CAMO Crown Royal bag stuffing
events were held across the country throughout the fall, resulting in thousands of Crown Royal care packages being sent to
American troops overseas, with the help of Packages from Home. The Project benefits the brand’s two national charity
partners, Honoring Heroes and Operation Patriot Foundation.
Crown Royal’s ongoing effort to identify deserving individuals kicked off this weekend in Indianapolis,
along with various military bases across the country and will continue throughout the entry period. Former NFL standout
Warrick Dunn made a special appearance around the big game to call attention to the program and encourage adult fans to nominate
their heroes. Dunn has partnered with the whisky brand to honor his own hero – his late mother – a former police
officer who was killed during an off-duty security shift 19 years ago.
