    Phoenix, Ariz. - April 9, 2012 - Bassmaster Elite Series pro John Murray,
    from Phoenix, Ariz. has signed a deal to collaboratively promote Lucas Oil
    Marine Products as his primary sponsors in 2012.  With the beginning of the
    Bassmaster Elite Series schedule in Florida  just two short weeks ago,
    Murray unveiled his new logoing to the industry. 

    Murray, a two-time B.A.S.S. winner is known for his ability to fish at all
    depths, which has made him a champion across the country.  Along with his
    two Bassmaster wins, Murray is a two-time U.S. Open Champion, and the only
    angler to win a fully rigged boat on all of the major waterways throughout
    the Western United States.

    Murray is excited to be working with a company that produces tremendous
    products and stands in the industry as a champion.  "I've used Lucas Oil
    products in my tow vehicles for years," said Murray.  "Their commitment to
    quality and winning is evident in their new Marine line of products and it
    makes me proud to be associated with a company like Lucas Oil."

    Murray also said that one of the true benefits of running the Lucas Oil wrap
    has been the connection with the public.  "One of the best parts of this
    relationship has been the people," he said.  "Everywhere I go, someone is
    telling me about their experience with Lucas Oil.  It has been a great and
    fun way to connect with the public."

    Jamie Devney, Director of Sales and Marketing / Team Lucas, echoed Murray's
    enthusiasm for the partnership. "With the new introduction of the full line
    of Lucas Oil Marine Products, it is imperative that we align ourselves with
    quality anglers to carry our message," said Devney.  "We are very excited to
    now include John Murray into the Lucas Pro Angler family.  Our business
    alliance with Ranger Boats, made him a valuable addition to the team.  We
    are looking forward to our partnership with John and his success this year
    in the BASS Elite Series."

    Murray's main wrap on his 2012 Ranger Z521 / Mercury Verado four stroke
    package will feature the Lucas Oil branding prominently displayed on his
    vessel.  His tow vehicle will still be branded with his title partner from
    2011; AdvancedAngler.com.
