The Dale
Jr. Foundation is offering fans a chance to receive the keys and title to one
of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s own Chevrolets, with the purchase of a $25 ticket in
the “Win Dale Jr.’s Ride” raffle. Beginning on April 1, tickets can be
purchased at www.windalejrsride.com,
with proceeds from the raffle benefitting more than 70 charities supported by
TDJF.
This year
Earnhardt Jr. is raffling off a 2015 Corvette Stringray Z51 Coupe 3LT.
The sleek, arctic white Corvette features an array of amenities, including a
6.2-liter V8 engine, eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift and
Chevrolet MyLink audio system with navigation.
“This Corvette
has everything,” said Earnhardt Jr. “It’s a sports car in every sense of
the word, and it’s a great-driving car with really cool interior features that
make it the ultimate Corvette experience. Plus, it looks cool.
Whoever wins this car, I can promise it will be the best $25 they ever spent.”
Limited
to only 8,888 tickets this year, fans can enter the raffle by purchasing a $25
ticket. Fans have until Sept. 30, 2015, to purchase tickets or until all
8,888 tickets have been distributed. The winner will be notified on Oct.
1, and a date will be determined to have Earnhardt Jr. personally hand over the
keys in a private meet-and-greet at JR Motorsports. TDJF will also cover
all taxes associated with the vehicle.
This
marks the fifth consecutive year for the “Win Dale Jr.’s Ride” raffle.
Since the program’s debut in 2011, it has raised more than $784,000 in support
of TDJF’s mission, which is to give underprivileged individuals, with a focus
on youth, the resources to improve their confidence and education, and the
opportunity to achieve extraordinary goals.
“This
program has been immensely successful for The Dale Jr. Foundation,” said Kelley
Earnhardt Miller, general manager of JR Motorsports and vice president of
TDJF. “In 2014, the raffle was a sellout and we’re anticipating much the
same in 2015. We’ve been fortunate to have a lot of participation from
our fan base and through their support we’ve been able to further The
Foundation’s mission.”
TDJF will
also choose two additional winners to receive runner-up prizes. Top
runner-up will receive a trip for two to a 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series event of
their choosing. The weekend package includes pit and garage passes, tours
of the team’s hauler and pit box, as well as a VIP gift bag. All travel expenses
up to $600 will be covered.
An
additional third prize will reward one fan and a guest with pit and garage
access at the NASCAR XFINITY Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May
2016 along with a $200 shopping spree at the JR Nation Retail Store.
Due to
restrictions on non-profit raffles, residents from the following states are
excluded: Alabama (AL), the District of Columbia (DC), Hawaii (HI), South
Carolina (SC) and Utah (UT). The raffle will be open to Kansas residents
on July 1, 2015. Residents of Canada are also not eligible.
