XR and HyVee Bank $10,000 Loot for “Best Appearing” Contests at Knoxville


Tuesday, August 9, 2005
XR is pleased to announce that Hy-Vee Supermarkets have joined the 2005 XR Nationals Best Appearing contest as a presenting sponsor. The Hy-Vee store located just across the street from the famed Knoxville Raceway will be involved with the promotions of the Best Appearing Car & Crew and will host a “Block Party” on Saturday, August 13th, showcasing the “Best Appearing” lineup of cars.
And to top things off, not only has XR put up a $1500 cash award for each winner (Car & Crew contests) but sponsors have jumped on board to already boost the contingency package to well over a $5000 value for each winner! A sampling of prizes include: $1500 cash from XR for each category (Best Appearing Car & Crew), a two-page centerfold in the September issue of Flat Out Magazine, free apparel artwork from Race Outfitters, free wings from Taylor Wings and Fast Wings, free tread from Hoosier Tire Midwest, free fuel from Power 110 Racing Fuels, Dominator wing caps from Aerotech Styling and a heavily-discounted rate on team apparel from Awesome Racewear.
It is winner take all with no honorable mentions for first loser and no congeniality award. The fans have the say on who is the best of the best and “Who's Got The Look!”

In the past, media members attending the Knoxville Nationals voted by paper ballot. As part of the promotion, AXR2 (www.axr2.com), will utilize its XR performance network and specifically www.sprintcarxr.com to make this a grand festivity. To top it off, the fans will tell us who is the best with an online fan vote through the XR Galleries. Fans can log on via the Internet or visit the AXR2 booth at the Knoxville Nationals.

In coming days, more detailed information will be released on the 2005 XR Best Appearing Car and Crew via www.sprintcarxr.com. Photos of past winners, historic archives from prior years with streaming audio and video, sponsors, fan prizes and more will be announced in the near future.
