Super 8 Hotel Brand Offers Race Fans Chance at $1,000

PARSIPPANY, N.J., 2012-09-28 — /travelprnews.com/ — In honor of its signature paint scheme appearing on the Richard Petty Motorsports #43 Ford at Dover International Speedway this Sunday, the Super 8® hotel brand is offering up to an additional $1,000 in prize money for the September winner of its Road Trip Challenge Sweepstakes.

This month, the first prize winner of the sweepstakes—which launched in March 2012 and awards weekly and monthly race-themed prizes—has a chance to win additional prize money based on the performance of the #43 car in the upcoming AAA 400. The September winner earns an extra $250 if the car finishes in the top 10 and an additional $1,000 if the car wins the race.

Regardless of the outcome, the Road Trip Challenge Sweepstakes first prize winner is guaranteed to win:

  • A $200 gas gift card
  • 48,000 Wyndham Rewards points (good for rewards such as free hotel nights, gift cards and more)
  • The book Road Trip USA by Jamie Jensen
  • Two Richard Petty Driving Experience Ride-Along tickets, and
  • Two Richard Petty Motorsports jackets

The Super 8 Road Trip Challenge is an instant win game and sweepstakes offering weekly and monthly race-themed prizes as well as a grand prize of the Ultimate Super 8 Road Trip package.

Through November 18, 2012, Wyndham Rewards members in the U.S. who visit www.pettysgarage.com, the official home of Super 8 racing, can play the Super 8 Road Trip Challenge Instant-Win Game. The game challenges players to “drive” around the country, using their computer and mouse, answering as many trivia questions as they can before time runs out. At the game’s conclusion, players find out if they’ve won an instant prize and receive an entry into the sweepstakes.

Fans can play the instant win game once daily and have the option of entering the sweepstakes without playing the game. Full terms and conditions are available at www.pettysgarage.com. Wyndham Rewards is the guest loyalty program of Super 8 hotels and is free to join. Non-members can enroll directly on the sweepstakes page or at www.wyndhamrewards.com.

Each week, 28 instant win prizes are awarded, ranging from $25 gas gift cards to Richard Petty Motorsports collectibles. Sweepstakes prizes are awarded monthly, with one first prize being awarded each month.

At the end of the sweepstakes, one lucky grand prize winner will have his or her choice of one of two prize packages, the first being the “Ultimate 8” road trip package, consisting of 88,888 Wyndham Rewards points, $888 Goodyear® gift card, $888 in gas gift cards, eight free Valvoline® oil changes, eight free months of Sirius® satellite radio, and $100 towards the purchase of a GPS.

The second package consists of a trip for two to the professional stock car race of the winner’s choice during the 2013 race season, complete with two nights accommodations at a Super 8, transportation and airfare, admission to the race, meet and greet with Richard Petty and members of Richard Petty Motorsports, Richard Petty Motorsports jackets and a $500 debit gift card.
