Sprint Nextel Bows Sweeps for NASCAR Race
Sprint Nextel is driving its sponsorship of a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race in Michigan this month with a sweeps that gives the state’s residents a chance to win a trip to the event and receive racing merchandise.
The Nextel Cup Series Ultimate Fan Weekend sweeps will give two lucky winners (one each from East and West Michigan) the opportunity to take three guests to the Michigan International Speedway, where they will stay in a fully catered, luxury motor coach at trackside during the June 16-18 races. Winners will also receive Nextel Cup Series merchandise, tickets to all three races and VIP passes.
Michigan race fans enter the promotion by visiting Sprint and Nextel stores in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint and other locations throughout the state. The contest ends June 9, with winners selected from store drawings on June 12.
