Involving 128,000 race fans, the card stunt will promote The SprintSpeed(tm) Million presented by Motorola sweepstakes. To date, the largest card stunt ever produced involved 119,000 people at Daytona International Speedway. The audience members will be given one card to produce two card stunts. The first card stunt will feature an American flag design and will be displayed during the National Anthem. The second card stunt will show a SprintSpeed Million design a few moments after the National Anthem. JacobDavis Productions (JDP), the worldwide leader in stadium card stunt production, is the creator and will work with 300 local high school Navy ROTC groups to place the colored cards on all 128,000 seats the morning of the race. Remember, one fan will win $1 million in the SprintSpeed Million sweepstakes at the season finale in Homestead-Miami Speedway.
