This spring promotion, which began in March 2024, awarded professional technicians and shop owners across the country with the chance to win an exclusive NASCAR racing experience. Forty guests kicked off their weekend with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at a performance racing team. The tour offered an insider’s glimpse into the high-octane world of professional racing.

The highlight of the weekend was a VIP race day experience at the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the race this past Sunday, according to

Pit and garage tours, customized swag, and autographed driver memorabilia helped to make the race day experience even more rewarding. Reflecting on the experience, Kevin Benton from The Merrill Co., Benton Auto Repair in Fort Dodge, Iowa, shared, “It was an awesome trip! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Everything was fantastic; the Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper staff were so hospitable and made it the trip of a lifetime. Everywhere we visited was great, but the race itself was something else—an amazing experience from top to bottom. I know we all appreciated the team from Valvoline being with us and hosting us on race day; such a great group of people.”
In addition to the grand prize, 150 other winners received cash prizes, contributing to a total of $25,000 in additional cash prizes, which added even more excitement to the sweepstakes. Entries were earned with every qualifying $150 invoice from Auto Value or Bumper to Bumper parts suppliers, with bonus entries awarded to MyPlace4Parts users for purchases made through the platform.
“The partnership with the entire Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper family is incredibly important to the team at Valvoline Global,” said Scott Street, sales director at Valvoline. “Having this collection of professional shop owners and technicians with us here in Charlotte has been remarkable, and we were delighted to host them this week. Celebrating and spending time together like this is invaluable and only cements our lasting partnership.”
As the checkered flag drops on this year’s Race to Charlotte Sweepstakes, Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper said they are already gearing up for their next big promotion, promising more opportunities for professional technicians to win big.
