$125,000 ‘Search for a Champion’ Contest Now Open for Entries

The 2015 “Search for a Champion” racing sponsorship contest is now open for entries. Sponsored by Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ iconic Champion® Spark Plug brand, the annual contest enables grassroots racers throughout the U.S. and Canada to compete for $125,000 in sponsorships by submitting a 2-minute video profile at www.AlwaysaChampion.com. Champion spark plugs, chemical additives and other products are distributed by Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: FDML).

Search for a Champion will once again offer 15 $5,000 racing sponsorships and one $50,000 grand-prize sponsorship to grassroots racers whose videos best demonstrate their commitment to winning with the help of “Performance Driven(TM)” Champion spark plugs.  The first 200 racers to submit videos will receive a free Champion “swag” bag containing a hat, t-shirt and contest decal.

Search for a Champion is open to racers in three broad categories of engine-driven competition – Asphalt, Dirt and Water/Snow. Winners will be selected in part through online votes cast by consumers. Entries may be submitted today through Jan. 4, 2015. Consumers will be able to view each video and vote for their favorites at www.AlwaysaChampion.com between January 6 and February 3, 2015. Voting for the $50,000 Search for a Champion grand prize will take place February 24 through March 24, 2015.

“Producing our video was a lot of fun and we knew we had a great story to tell about how the Champion brand’s support could help us reach the next level. I encourage every grassroots racer to chase their dream like I did, because they could end up changing the course of their careers,” said 2014 Search for a Champion grand-prize winner Jordan Ives.
