FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers, GIR Want to Give YOU the Experience of a Lifetime

MADISON, Ill. - “Gentlemen, start your engines!”

They’re the four most famous words in racing and YOU could be the one saying them at the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International Raceway July 19. Or you could be high atop the track in the flag stand, waving the green flag to 43 NASCAR Nationwide Series competitors racing for the victory at the 1.25-mile oval.

So how can you make your racing dreams come true?

All you have to do is register at one of the 50 Missouri-Illinois Dodge dealers where each dealership will name one winner. That winner will win a pair of tickets to the NASCAR Nationwide Series’ return to the St. Louis area where you can see defending winner Reed Sorenson race for a place in the Gateway history books by putting his Chip Ganassi Dodge in Victory Lane for a third time.

The winners also will receive passes to the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers hospitality tent, a chance to meet Sorenson and the driver of the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers Dodge, Gillette-Evernham Motorsports’ Chase Miller, and will be entered into a drawing to participate in the pre-race ceremonies.

In addition to the chance to be the grand marshall or honorary starter for the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250, the opportunity to ride in the back of a Dodge Ram with the drivers of the NASCAR Nationwide Series during the pre-race parade laps is up for grabs, along with the chance to win other great opportunities and prizes.

Don’t miss out on this chance of a lifetime. Visit your local Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealer and register for an opportunity to be a part of racing history at Gateway International Raceway by being a VIP in the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250!
