IRL: Fans Can Still Take a Million-dollar Ride with Brack at Las Vegas

1 October 1998

LAS VEGAS - There's still time for race fans to get a piece of the action in Las Vegas that could earn them a share of $1 million.

Kenny Brack will split $1 million with a lucky fan through the MCI Pep Boys Million Dollar Driver sweepstakes if he wins the season-ending Las Vegas 500K on Oct. 11 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Fans can go to any of the 712 Pep Boys stores to enter through Oct. 5, or may enter via the Internet at www.mciracing.com or www.pepboys.com through Oct. 10. The choice of driver is easy: Kenny Brack.

Brack won the VisionAire 500 on July 25 at Charlotte, N.C., and the Atlanta 500 Classic presented by MCI on Aug. 29 - the first two races of the contest - to put himself and a fan in position to claim the big bucks. Any driver who wins all three races wins the bonus.

The Las Vegas 500K starts at 4 p.m. (EDT) on Oct. 11. It will be televised live by TNN, as were the first two races of the contest.

If Brack doesn't pull off the historic sweep, he still will split a $100,000 bonus with a lucky fan because he won the first two races of the contest.

Pep Boys is the nation's leading automotive aftermarket retail and service chain, with 712 stores in 34 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

MCI, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a leading provider of local-to-global communications services to business, government and residential users.
