HENDRICKCARS.COM
SELECTS INDY DREAM SWEEPSTAKES WINNER
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 3, 2009)

Hendrickcars.com has selected the winner of the Indy Dream Weekend, which grants one fan and a guest VIP treatment at this month’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Nathan Tilford, of Orangevale, Calif., was chosen randomly from 6,602 entrants, who registered on Hendrickcars.com between May 23 and June 30 for a chance to win the all-access weekend made possible by Hendrickcars.com and Hendrick Motorsports.

“We were pleased with the participation in this sweepstakes especially considering the Eldora race was postponed until September 9th due to weather. This is a great opportunity for

Mr. Tilford to have a behind the scenes view of one of NASCAR’s most winning and popular teams. Hendrickcars.com is happy to have helped make this trip available to our Web site visitors and NASCAR fans,” said Chris Little of Hendrick Automotive Group.

As part of the VIP treatment, Tilford and his guest will get to meet two-time Indy winner and three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and watch the race from a trackside suite during the July 25-26 Hendrickcars.com Indy Dream Weekend. Tilford also receives airfare and hotel accommodations plus a tour of the garage area and a Hendrick Motorsports team transporter. And if a Hendrick Motorsports team gets to “kiss the bricks” July 26, Tilford and his guest will join in the Victory Lane festivities.
