UCoat It(tm), ACDelco Announce Expanded Dream Garage Sweepstakes

2006 Makeover Prize Package with a Retail Value of over $30,000

March 17, 2006, Gainesville, Fla. - Approximately one year ago, ACDelco
unveiled a dramatic new display on the midway at NHRA(r) POWERade Drag
Racing Series events.  Dubbed the ACDelco Extreme Garage, the
interactive exhibit combined the ACDelco Racing experience, including
Kurt Johnson's NHRA Pro Stock Cobalt and Clint Bowyer's NASCAR(r) Busch
Series #2 Monte Carlo show cars as well as NHRA and NASCAR themed games,
with elements of what a Real Car Guy would consider a dream garage.  

 

Further adding to the attraction's appeal was the UCoat ItTM Dream
Garage Sweepstakes presented by ACDelco, where fans were encouraged to
go online at either the ACDelco (www.acdelco.com
<http://www.acdelco.com/> ) or UCoat It (www.ucoatit.com
<http://www.ucoatit.com/> ) websites to enter for a chance to win a
complete garage makeover including the prizes featured in the display.  

 

Following a nine-month tour that spanned the country and included many
stops at ACDelco warehouse distributor customers along the way, the
sweepstakes winner was named.  Denton, TX resident L. Scott Hamilton's
name was selected in a random drawing from over 19,000 entries, with his
garage receiving the dramatic transformation earlier this year.  Fueled
by the success of this inaugural venture, UCoat It(tm) and ACDelco
announced today that the sweepstakes would return, this time featuring a
prize package with a retail value of over $30,000,  a $10,000 prize
value increase over last year's contest..  Entries will be accepted
starting with this weekend's ACDelco NHRA Gatornationals 

 

"Based on the tremendous response to the inaugural ACDelco Extreme
Garage tour, as well as the popularity of the UCoat It(tm) Dream Garage
Sweepstakes, we were determined to make this year's edition even
better," said Sue Christophersen, Event Marketing Manager for General
Motors Service and Parts Operations (GMSPO).  "Fortunately, thanks to
UCoat It's sponsorship, and with the support of companies such as
Snap-on Tools, Revolution Lift, Ingersoll-Rand, and Moduline, ACDelco
will be presenting one lucky winner with the Ultimate Real Car Guy's
dream garage."

 

Fans can get more information about the sweepstakes at acdelco.com or
enter directly at ucoatit.com.  In addition, the ACDelco Extreme Garage
will be making appearances throughout the year at select NHRA POWERade
Drag Racing Series events and ACDelco warehouse distributor customer
locations across the United States, allowing those in attendance to see
the prizes included in this year's giveaway.  

 

Once this year's winner is drawn, the garage makeover begins.  The
winner will first receive a full high-gloss epoxy floor coating courtesy
of UCoat It.  Once that has cured properly, the Extreme Garage will
deliver the rest of the prizes, including air and air-to-nitrogen
compressors from Ingersoll Rand, a portable stacking lift from
Revolution Lift, Moduline aluminum cabinets, a full range of Snap-on
professional grade tools, a tool chest and accessories, and an extensive
prize pack from ACDelco.

 

"We encourage everyone to take the time and visit the ACDelco and UCoat
It websites, as well as stopping by the Extreme Garage display when it
is in your area," stated Christophersen.  "The Extreme Garage will allow
you to see our fantastic ACDelco Racing stable, as well as the stunning
array of prizes we will be giving away this year.  

 

"While visiting our website find out more about the Dream Garage
Sweepstakes, check out our ACDelco Racing teams, and obtain valuable
