NASCAR DRIVER JEREMY MAYFIELD TO DISPLAY CERTIFIEDFIRST® NETWORK LOGO ON EVERNHAM MOTORSPORTS™ NO. 19 DODGE DEALERS/UAW DODGE CHARGER

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – February 14, 2006 – PPG’s CertifiedFirst® Network announced today that they will be displaying the CertifiedFirst® Network logo on Evernham Motorsports No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Charger driven by Jeremy Mayfield for the Auto Club 500 at California Speedway on Sunday, February 26. The race will begin at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast nationally on FOX.

“We are very excited about this opportunity and look forward to PPG’s continued partnership with Evernham Motorsports” stated Paul Ong, Marketing Manager, CertifiedFirst Network. “Many of our CertifiedFirst® Network participants are huge NASCAR fans and we
are very eager to see if Jeremy Mayfield can take the checkered flag in California like he did in 2000.”

“We had a good test at Las Vegas, so we expect the things we learned there and during other tests to translate into a good setup for California,” Jeremy Mayfield said. “Combine that with the attitude of this team and it's easy to see why we're eager to get to California. This race will provide a real picture of the season ahead. Teams will leave California knowing they can be competitive or there's a lot of work to be done.”

PPG Industries has sponsored Evernham Motorsports since 1999 and worked closely in 2005 on the “Charity Chopper” initiative, which raised more than $134,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a charity sponsored by Ray Evernham’s foundation - Racing for a Reason. Ray Evernham, President and CEO of Evernham Motorsports, also recently spoke at the 2006 PPG Refinish North American Sales Conference in Orlando, Fla.
