Help out a reader & you can WIN!

Of course - because this is a Twitter site - she is offering EXTRA entries just for twittering about the contest. So, help out a reader & WIN SOME GREAT NASCAR stuff!!!!

The Baja 500 is one of the most grueling races in the world. Many years almost half the teams who take the green flag, fail to cross the finish line for the checkered flag. A “Did Not Finish” is every team’s haunting nightmare. I remember one Baja 500 race I participated in was almost cut short when a brake line failed. However, I was able to use my Irwin Vise-Grip to crimp off the faulty line and maintain pressure on the remaining three brakes. Our team was able to rally and finish that arduous race!

Enter to win a race package that includes: a HASA ‘Keeping Your Environment Clean Since 1965’ reusable organic bag filled with race memorabilia to include a NASCAR Camping World stadium cushion; a Toyota Racing T-Shirt, Race Hat, NAPA Mini Flashlight and a 1:24 Scale Die Cast Model of the Toyota Test Stock Car.

Moses Smith, who was voted the 2008 Most Popular Driver of the Camping World Series West, will chip in an autographed Moses Smith racing shirt and hat! (www.mosessmith.com).

There will be two runner-up prizes: an autographed Moses Smith racing shirt.

It is easy to enter and you can enter daily until 12/19/2008.

1. Vote for Paulie at http://irwin.eprize.net/visegripstory/index.tbapp. Search for his entry by his email – paul@promotorsports1.com. Bonus - After you vote, you can play an instant win game for cool prizes.
   
   
2. Leave a comment at Nascar Race Mom after you have voted. Let us know if you won a prize on the Instant Win game.

Want an extra entry each day? Follow me at http://www.twitter.com/zwriter and tweet about this contest and leave a separate comment telling me that you tweeted.

It is that simple. Of course I would love it if you left me a tweet! Stop by Moses' website and see what he is up to.

Details

The Contest is open to anyone 18 & older. Winners will be decided by community voting. The contest begins Sunday, November 16th and ends Wednesday, November 26th at 9pm ET. It may be extended, as additional prizes keep appearing, and I want to give enough people a chance to hear about prize updates and have time to dream up a creative entry. A minimal level of (20) entries should be met as well. Jeff Crites will moderate/have final word on any confusion or disputes (none expected!).

5) Click 'I accept Terms and Conditions' before submitting. You can also choose to be notified if any comments are left for your entry.



This contest was conceived and launched in a day, inspired by a three day trip to Coke HQ in Atlanta (I won their Experiencing Coca Cola Sweepstakes, which was magical, and I want to pass some of that experience on to you!).

Six cases of carbonated Coca-Cola product

Play TWENDLE and Win ~ ongoing

Twendle is a game where you predict what the internet will be talking about tomorrow.

There's this thing called Twitter. Millions of people use it to talk about what they're doing right now.

If something starts attracting the interest of loads of people, it'll show up as a trending topic on the Twitter Search home page.

Here's the game: you have to predict those trends before they show up. For maximum maximum points, predict something no-one else thought of, and predict it exactly 24 hours in advance.

That's all there is to it

One player chosen at random — not necessarily the winner! — will get to choose from a year's flickr pro account or a $25 Amazon.com certificate.

November's game is very much a rough-and-ready alpha version of Twendle — so there's likely to be the odd teething problem. For that reason, the winner just gets bragging rights!

Head over to Twendle for all of the fun.

“Spread The Love” Twitter Contest ~ Ends 11/23

Walt at Walt dot me is having a Spread the Love Contest. Here's what Walt has to said about it:

Spread the love, everybody!

Inspired by Tweet Week, I thought it would be cool if everybody shared the people they love to follow on Twitter, so I’m making a fun contest out of it.

Make sure you’re following me on Twitter. That’s a condition of winning the $50 gift card

For ONE entry, you need to post TWO tweets, as follows…

I love following @________ because ___________________________________

and

Tell us who YOU love to follow & win a $50 Amazon gift card from @waltpsu (http://walt.me)

You have to post both of ‘em in order for your entry to count. The second one is necessary so that as many people as possible know about the contest and more people spread the love.

This contest starts today, Monday November 17 and ends Sunday November 23. You can enter ONCE PER DAY. That’s seven days, which means that you can spotlight 7 different people who you love to follow. Remember to post both tweets above each day.

One winner will be picked at random (pretty much the same way I did last time) and will win a $50 gift card to Amazon.com.

If you have any questions, leave a comment below and I’ll answer them.

Chance to Win a Free Pass to Affiliate Summit ~ Ends 1/5/09

Win a free Platinum pass to the conference. Affiliate Summit West 2009 is taking place January 11-13, 2009 in Las Vegas,

Here are the rules:

In order to enter, you must do the following:

Post to Twitter with the Twitter name of somebody you want to meet at Affiliate Summit and tell them why
Include #asw09 in your Tweet
How can you find out who is going to be at Affiliate Summit and also is on Twitter? Well, you can look at the Affiliate Summit agenda and see who is speaking at the conference.

If you’re not currently following speakers and don’t know their Twitter name, you could try finding them by searching Google for their name and the word Twitter.

For instance, search Gary Vaynerchuk (he’s the keynote speaker for the conference) and Twitter on Google and the first result is his Twitter address: http://twitter.com/garyvee

You could also use Twitter search and submit a query for Affiliate Summit or affsum. You’ll see Tweets from people who are talking about Affiliate Summit on Twitter.

Here is an example of an entry you might submit:

@jimkukral I want to meet you at Affiliate Summit to learn more about thebizwebcoach.com - may I buy you a drink? #asw09

Every Monday through January 5, we will pick a winner and notify them via Twitter. Only entries submitted the Monday through Sunday leading up to each Monday will be eligible for that week.

Winners are picked by the Affiliate Summit team and all decisions are final.

And I’m not saying it will help your chances, but you should be following @affiliatesummit on Twitter to stay in the loop.
