Quicken Loans and Stewart-Haas Racing Partner to Make One Lucky Fan $10,000 Richer

Ever wondered what it would be like to be at the helm of a championship race team?  That dream can be a reality thanks to the Quicken Loans “You’re The Boss” Sweepstakes running now until April 30 at www.qlracing.com.  Through the sweepstakes, one lucky winner and a guest will get the opportunity to be an honorary “boss” at Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) – Quicken Loans’ racing partner and home of Ryan Newman and the three-time and reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart.

By visiting www.qlracing.com and entering, one winner will be flown to Kannapolis, North Carolina, home of SHR, from October 11 – 13.  Over the three days, the “Boss” will:

· Experience a race weekend with the team;

· Tour the Stewart-Haas race shop;

· Receive a complete clothing makeover including SHR caps, clothes and team jackets;

· Enjoy a meal with both Newman and Stewart;

· Score a prize pack that includes a race-worn firesuit; and

· Collect $10,000 in cash.

“I’m looking forward to having a new owner around here – I sure hope they bring their checkbooks with them, we’ve got some bills to pay,” joked Stewart, who is a co-owner of SHR along with Gene Haas, founder of Haas Automation.  “I’ve been in this sport all of my life and never before have I seen a contest where people get to be part of a race team.  This will be a lot of fun for everyone.”

In addition to the grand prize, visitors to www.qlracing.com have the opportunity to win one of 25,000 instant win prizes provided by fellow SHR team sponsor Outback Steakhouse.

“This is an absolutely amazing experience –a true once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Jay Farner, President and Chief Marketing Officer for Detroit-based Quicken Loans, the nation’s largest independent mortgage lender.  “Quicken Loans is proud to offer a memorable weekend for two lucky people who will literally become part of the Stewart-Haas team, doing many of the same things some of the biggest names in racing do each week to prepare for a race.  And, on top of that, you get paid like a race team owner, with a $10,000 pay check.”

Visitors to the site can enter daily, and are able to gain additional entries by spreading the word of the sweepstakes via Facebook and Twitter.

In 2012, Quicken Loans will be the primary sponsor of Newman’s No. 39 Chevrolet Impala for nine Sprint Cup races, and when not serving as a primary sponsor, the company will be an associate sponsor. Additionally, Quicken Loans will serve as an associate sponsor of Stewart’s No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Impala this season.
