Get Your Face In The Race On A Hellman's Busch Race Car!

Hey, lady racing fans! I don't know how I got on this mailing list, and when the email arrived, my first thought was "What? Who cares about mayonnaise? TOSS!" But then I looked more closely and found a little link that made it slightly more interesting: A chance to win an all-expense paid four-day, three-night trip for four to a NASCAR race weekend in April 2008. Get VIP tickets, autographed memorabilia, and $500 in spending money. Plus your picture could appear on the hood of the #9 Hellmann's Busch car! Heck, it doesn't matter whether you're into cooking or racing,  here's an easy way to get some benefits from either hobby.

For your entry to be valid, they want to know if your knowledge of NASCAR is really up to speed, so expect to correctly answer a NASCAR-based trivia question to enter for a chance to win the experience of a lifetime at a 2008 NASCAR event! (I don't know if the questions rotate, but I found the answer to my question "How many members are in a NASCAR pit crew?" at Wikipedia.

In addition to the grand prize, additional prizes include:  First Prize (10): An Ultimate Chargers leather jacket (Approximate retail value $200.00 each). Second Prize (50): Hellmann's racing headset radio (Approximate retail value $20.00 each). Third Prize (300): Hellmann's racing hat (Approximate retail value $15.00 each).

Hellman's "In Search of Real Fans" Sweepstakes ends on December 31, 2007. You can get the official rules and regulations here.

In addition to the sweepstakes, the Hellman's racing site  also offers tailgate recipes, racing trivia, and information about the Hellman's team drivers. Turns out Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise is a "Proud Sponsor of NASCAR and the official mayonnaise of six leading racetracks." Who knew? Check it out. If nothing else, you can talk stats and schedules like a true race fan. And, be sure to let us know if you win!
