IndyCar Series and eBay launch sweepstakes

The IndyCar Series and the Indianapolis 500 will be featured as part of online powerhouse eBay's new "And the Winner is. You" promotion that launched Feb. 4.

The sweepstakes promotion will give eBay shoppers the chance to win a VIP trip for four to attend the 92nd Indianapolis 500 Mile Race in May.

Running from Feb. 4-29, eBay, along with the IndyCar Series and the Grammy Foundation, celebrates "Awards Season" by giving consumers a chance to nominate themselves to win one of three unique Grand Prize Awards. The grand prizes – "The Need for Speed Award," the "Most Victorious Shopper Award," and the "Party Like A Rock Star Award" have all been created to highlight winning moments in sports, entertainment and shopping on eBay.

The Need for Speed Award package includes a VIP trip for four to the 2008 Indianapolis 500. The trip will include four tickets to the race, airfare and hotel accommodations, access to at-track hospitality, a behind-the-scenes tour of the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a ride around the track in a pace car, and a $1,000 gift certificate from eBay.

Each day, eBay members will visit the game at www.shopvictoriously.ebay.com. Once registered for the game, consumers can select a Shop Victoriously Award Envelope to get an entry into the grand prize sweepstakes drawing of their choosing. Clicking on an envelope will not only register consumers into the sweepstakes drawing, but will activate an instant win game which will award more than 1,000 eBay gift certificates during the promotional period.
