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.

link hidden, please login to view revealed that its Elect tires have obtained over 500 homologations since its launch in 2019. According to Pirelli, these tires include technologies that enhance the specificities of electric and plug-in hybrid cars. Pirelli said Elect tires can extend range by up to 30 miles due to low rolling resistance, which results in a savings of up to $160 per year on charging costs. Thanks to the compounds used to make Pirelli Elect, the tires also offer increased grip, to manage the high torque of electric motors and reinforced structures to cope with the load of EVs, according to the manufacturer. “The number of homologations obtained from major manufacturers confirms the validity of the path we have chosen to follow, which is to offer technology that can be adapted to the vehicle, to the tire, and to seasonality,” Piero Misani, chief technical officer of Pirelli, said. “The most modern development tools, such as virtualization and artificial intelligence, allow us to design products that are increasingly in line with the technical and performance requirements of EVs.”
Pirelli said its Elect technology, which debuted with the first-generation Porsche Taycan’s P Zeros, is now integrated into an increasing number of Pirelli’s main product families. Pirelli Elect is also available in an increasing percentage of winter (22%) and all-season (17%) tires, Pirelli said.
