DEBT BUYERS' ASSOCIATION "RACING FOR DEBT"
Debt Buyers' Association is holding its 9th Annual DBA Conference on Tuesday, February 7th through Thursday, February 9th, 2006 at The Mirage Casino-Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Buyers and Sellers of Debt Portfolios, Collection Attorneys, Agencies and Recovery Professionals, Consumer Lenders, Investment Bankers and Consulting Agencies, as well as Industry Vendors are all welcome to participate.

Debt Buyers' Association is pleased to announce confirmation of their guest speaker at the DBA 9th Annual Convention, "Racing for Debt". Jeff Hammond, former NASCAR crew chief and popular Fox Sports announcer, will join us on Wednesday, February 8th. Hammond joined Fox Sports at the end of the 2000 Winston Cup season. He and partner Chris Myers host the weekly pre-race show from the famed "Hollywood Hotel" usually located near Victory Lane at each race track. Jeff contributes to the race coverage on Fox and FX with booth announcers, Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds and Darrell Waltrip. Jeff can also be seen every Wednesday night at 6pm eastern on Totally NASCAR on Fox Sports Net. He and show host Steve Byrnes bring you all the happenings on and off the track. Jeff's career in NASCAR began in 1974 working as a tire changer for Walter Ballard. Becoming one of the best jackmen in the business, Hammond served on all three of driver Cale Yarborough's Winston Cup championship seasons. Legendary driver Darrell Waltrip took over for Yarborough in 1981 and the Junior Johnson-owned team won yet another championship. At the encouragement of Waltrip, Johnson promoted Jeff to the crew chief position for the start of the 1982 season. And as the old saying goes, "The Rest Is History". The combination of owner Johnson, driver Waltrip and crew chief Hammond set the sport of NASCAR on its ear. Two more championships followed and 43 wins as a crew chief placed Hammond in the record books as one of NASCAR's all time great crew chiefs. Born on September 9, 1956, Hammond resides in Charlotte, NC and has a son, Colt and a daughter, Heather. Besides his love of racing, Jeff also has a passion for horses, rodeos, team roping, and hunting. His heroes include his father and John Wayne. (Jeff Hammond is not related to Dennis Hammond, DBA Executive Director.)

This year's line up will include informative speakers and presentations to keep you and your company up-to-date about industry topics and emerging concerns. You will also have plenty of time to meet and network with other industry professionals and of course participate in the Annual Golf Classic being held at the Paiute Golf Resort.
