	INDIANAPOLIS, May 10, 1996 -- ABC Sports president Steve Bornstein
announced today that the network's longstanding broadcasting relationship
with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) would be extended through 1999.
	
	The agreement covers broadcasts for the Indianapolis 500, the related Indy
Racing League (IRL) events, and the Brickyard 400 NASCAR Winston Cup stock
car event at IMS.

	The announcement was made trackside at the world famous two-and-a-half mile
race track by Bornstein; David Downs, senior vice president of programming
for ABC Sports; Tony George, president of IMS; and Bill Donaldson, IMS vice
president.

	ABC Sports' existing contracts with the Speedway and the IRL were extended
through 1999 and ABC will have the first negotiation rights to IRL events
during that period.

	"It is extremely gratifying to extend ABC Sports' relationships with the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway," Bornstein said.  "Together, ABC Sports and
ESPN will continue to bring the highest production and promotional values
for the world's greatest race:  The Indianapolis 500. The extension of the
Brickyard 400 and the IRL series on ABC Sports will also provide financial
and promotional benefits."

	"We value our partnership with ABC Sports tremendously," commented George.
"This is the strongest broadcasting package that's available to us today.
As our programming opportunities expand, we are pleased to have such strong
television partners for distribution to the race fans."
