The companies will be primary sponsors for the #28 Ford driven by former Daytona 500 winner Derrike Cope in the NASCAR Busch Series race today at the two-mile California Speedway. Sun Microsystems and Telmex will sponsor Mara Reyes’ #49 car next week in the Mexico City race, along with AMD and Advil. Reyes will race the day before in the Desafio Corona, a stock car racing division sanctioned by NASCAR with cars similar to those in the Busch Series.

“We’re really fortunate, and feel pretty special, to have Sun Microsystems and Telmex joining us for a couple of weeks,” owner Jay Robinson said. “Huge, high-quality corporations like that don’t do things lightly, and we’re hoping to continue our momentum from Daytona at California and next week at Mexico City.”

Cope finished 16th in the NASCAR Busch Series season opener at Daytona Beach, Fla., making a phenomenal move through the field after starting 42nd.

Since its inception in 1982, a singular vision -- "The Network Is The Computer" -- has propelled Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) to its position as a leading provider of industrial-strength hardware, software and services that make the Network. Sun can be found in more than 100 countries and on the World Wide Web at http://sun.com

Sun Microsystems, along with AMD, supports Escuderia Telmex (Team Telmex), which promotes the development of Mexican drivers, including Mara Reyes who is at California Speedway this weekend. The time at the speedway should help Reyes learn and talk with her teammates and other drivers prior to next week’s Mexico City event.

Escuderia Telmex (Team Telmex) is a project developed to consolidate Mexican drivers in international competition through a scaled project . They begin in lower categories, moving up to the most visible categories worldwide, and uniting the experience of drivers such as Jimmy Morales and Adrian Fernandez with the younger talents as Luis Diaz, Memo Rojas and others.
