BROOKLYN, Mich. (Feb. 5, 2010) ­— Race fans - do you think you can pick NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race winners better than Michigan International Speedway President Roger Curtis? Well here’s your chance to find out and win great prizes in the process.

Beginning today (Feb. 5), MIS is launching a weekly NASCAR pick em’ contest at MISpeedway.com/rogerpickem. Fans will have the chance to make a weekly selection on who they think will win that weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Curtis will also make his selection on the website and discuss why he selected his driver on a weekly podcast.

“I enjoy participating in fantasy racing and look forward to going up against the fans to see how well they can pick NASCAR race winners each week,” Curtis said. “This is another exciting contest that we are offering to get the fans involved. I love to interact with the fans on all levels and this will be a lot of fun to see how everyone does. I can’t wait to get started.”

All fans that correctly pick the winning driver that week will be posted on MISpeedway.com/rogerpickem. Each week a fan will be selected from the group that correctly picked the winner and sent a prize from MIS.

Additionally all fans that pick the winner each week during the season will be automatically entered into a drawing at the end of the year to win two Victory Lane Club passes for the 2011 MIS season.

“We will be giving away a prize each week during the entire 36-week NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule,” Curtis said. “All you have to do is pick the winner correctly and you might have a chance to win the prize for that week and also be entered for the grand prize at the end of the season.”

All picks for the contest must be entered one hour prior to the start of each race. The contest is open to residents of the United States and Canada. Fans may also make their selection each week by mailing a 3x5 card with their pick and race name to Michigan International Speedway, 12626 U.S. 12, Brooklyn, MI 49230.

Nestled in the lush Irish Hills of Southeastern Michigan, Michigan International Speedway is the Great Escape, a venerable NASCAR national park where fans can get away and enjoy the very best in racing and camaraderie. It’s the love of racing and the thrill of a great time for race fans and drivers alike.
