Kelly "Girl" Sutton Makes 2003 Season One To Remember
NASCAR Driver Finishes 2003 Eighth in Points

CROWNSVILLE, Md. (December 22, 2003) –– In only her second, full season in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series, Kelly "Girl" Sutton finished her 2003 campaign eighth in the championship points. Sutton, the first person with multiple sclerosis (MS) known to race in any NASCAR series, had three consecutive top 10 finishes in June and July, and only finished out of the top 20 once, due to an early multi-car pile up.

"Our goal coming into this season was to finish in the top 10 in points," said Sutton. "Eighth overall in the points is a great accomplishment. Those top 10's at South Boston, Greenville, and Kentucky this summer really helped keep us in the hunt."

Sutton's year was equally impressive off the track. In October, The Women's Sports Foundation presented Kelly Sutton with the distinguished 2003 Wilma Rudolph Courage Award. This prestigious award is given annually to a female athlete who exhibits extraordinary courage in her athletic performance, demonstrates the ability to overcome adversity, and makes significant contributions to her sport, with prior award recipients such as Martina Navratilova and Gail Devers.

"Receiving the Wilma Rudolph Courage Award from the Women's Sports Foundation is such an honor and truly a humbling experience," commented Sutton.
In addition to sharing her inspiring story with the media at each track she visits, Sutton travels the country, speaking to those living with MS, encouraging them to live their dreams. She continues to prove to herself and others that multiple sclerosis won't stop her from following in the tracks of her father and grandfather.

COPAXONE^® (glatiramer acetate injection) is indicated for the reduction of the frequency of relapses in relapsing-remitting MS.

The most common side effects of COPAXONE^® are redness, pain, swelling, itching, or a lump at the site of injection, flushing, chest pain, weakness, infection, pain, nausea, joint pain, anxiety, and muscle stiffness. These reactions are usually mild and seldom require professional treatment. Be sure to tell your doctor about any side effects.

Some patients report a short-term reaction right after injecting COPAXONE^®. This reaction can involve flushing (feeling of warmth and/or redness), chest tightness or pain with heart palpitations, anxiety, and trouble breathing. These symptoms generally appear within minutes of an injection, last about 15 minutes, and go away by themselves without further problems.
