H57 Hoodia NASCAR Busch Team to Debut at O'Reilly Raceway Park

Sopranos Star Joe Gannascoli Will Attend

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- H57 Hoodia (http://www.h57.com/), the nation's leading South African Hoodia appetite suppressant, announced today its first NASCAR sponsorship. The company has partnered with the Warsaw, Indiana-based ML Motorsports to lend its name to the new H57 Hoodia Busch Series car at O'Reilly Raceway Park (The Kroger 200) this Saturday, August 5. The event will be broadcast on TNT at 8:00 p.m. EDT.

ML Motorsports was established in 1999, and quickly developed into one of the most successful teams in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. With the assistance of WRPM Inc.'s president, Jeff Witherell, H57 Hoodia made the move into the more visible NASCAR Busch Series with Justin Diercks driving their #70 machine. H57 Hoodia is also a sponsor in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), and now adds NASCAR to their extensive event sponsorship program.

"We've proven ourselves in the nutrition marketplace, in the media and on the track. We're ready to show what we can do in NASCAR," said Kelly Lockwood, H57 Hoodia CEO, based in Nutley, New Jersey. "We have built a championship team and now it's time for the whole country to see us."

In addition to racing this weekend, H57 Hoodia will be donating $2,500 to Tools For Schools, the children's charity organization founded by ML Motorsports, which is committed to making a difference with kids at school. Last year, Tools for Schools supplied over 750 school bags filled with school supplies to children in Kosciusko County, Indiana.

Actor Joe Gannascoli (who portrays 'Vito' on HBO's The Sopranos) will be on hand, along with the H57 Hoodia Race Team, to present the check. Gannascoli is currently losing weight using H57 Hoodia.

"I love the thrill of racing and being associated with a team that gives back to the community," said Gannascoli, "You'd better be there or else!"

H57 Hoodia is the nation's #1 selling South African Hoodia product. It is a natural appetite suppressant that has been used by the South African Bushman for centuries to help them stave off hunger during long term hunting expeditions. More information can be found at http://www.h57.com/.
