Trouble in Turn2

Contest. There’s that word again.

A&E Home Video, the company that brought you the NASCAR Driven to Win DVD’s, is now releasing a two-disc set on the 50th anniversary of the Daytona 500. See below for the press release or check out the website.

Even better, they have provided me with one two copies to give away. So here is how the contest will go. It doesn’t take a lot of skill, but maybe a little patience. To enter, all you have to do is read a post from my archives (located to the left) or use the search box, tag cloud or category list to find the golden hits from the past two years. To ensure you are entered in the contest, be sure to leave a comment on an older post and write A&E at the end of your comment. I will enter all of the names into a random drawing and pull two names next Monday. Enter as many times as you like, but only one entry per archived post. If you enjoy Trouble in Turn 2, it’s a great way to catch up on some of the old material. Top ten lists, race recaps, The View from the Couch, blogger interviews, The Other 33 Series, driver previews and statistics-based opinion, it’s all in there somewhere. If you are new to the site or simply want a shot at a really cool DVD, then that works too.
