The Kellys Returns for 2006 Season; Turner Picks up Eight Shows of Animated Series on NASCAR.COM(TM).

LOS ANGELES & ATLANTA -- SportsBlast, a producer of innovative animated content for the Internet and traditional media, announced that NASCAR.COM has committed to airing eight additional episodes of The Kellys coinciding with the 2006 racing season.

Developed and produced in association with Turner Sports Interactive, The Kellys is a critically acclaimed animated Web series about professional stock car racing. It is the first animated series to take fans behind-the-scenes and into the heart of a stock car racing family trying to win on the big circuit. The season will feature extended episodes that are optimized for broadband viewing.

"The Kellys is a fun departure from the action on the track. The episodes are popular with the fans and they deliver unique value through non-traditional advertising and sponsor placement," said Michael Adamson, vice president of creative and sports new products for NASCAR.COM. "It was an easy decision to extend our commitment to The Kellys. In fact, we're looking at experimenting with SportsBlast even more this season. We still believe there are more interesting things we can do with The Kellys."

The show boasts an all-star cast, such as Emmy(R) winner Nancy Cartwright, best known as the voice of Bart Simpson, and includes guest appearances from 2001 Nextel Cup Rookie of the Year and Busch Series Champion driver Kevin Harvick.

"Turner's continued support of The Kellys adds a new outlet to the world of stock-car racing," said SportsBlast founder Nancy Cartwright. "Racing fans are a dedicated and loyal group; they deserve to have the service and resources that Turner provides. From a life-long enthusiast to a novice new fan, The Kellys provides racing insight, humor and drama that everyone will enjoy."

The Kellys has received numerous industry and independent film awards, including a Silver Remi at WorldFest and a Gold at the Aurora Awards, and has received glowing reviews from multiple media sources including Sports Illustrated, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, the Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Animation Magazine, among many others.
