As a grand finale to the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association’s (MEMA) yearlong activities commemorating its 100-year anniversary and to say thanks to the product manufacturers who have made it possible, MEMA will be giving away a trip for two to the 2005 Daytona 500 the 47th annual "Great American Race."
Airfare and accommodations are included in this prize, generously donated by MEMA member ACDelco. The season opener to the 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season will feature the best stock car drivers in the world battling for NASCAR’s most coveted win.
"We’ve had a great year commemorating our centennial and the important contributions our members have made to the industry and to this association," said Neal Zipser, MEMA vice president of marketing and communications. "Giving a trip away to arguably the greatest event in motorsports is a great way to cap our celebration and we encourage everyone in the industry to sign up."
