In celebrating the contributions of professional tradesmen, IRWIN will give away $1 million to one lucky person if McMurray captures his first win under the lights in the 2011 IRWIN Tools Night Race as part of the IRWIN Tools Thank a Tradesman Sweepstakes.
"It puts a lot of extra pressure on me for sure," says McMurray, driver of the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/McDonalds Chevrolet. "I would love to make someone a millionaire at Bristol. What a great promotion to recognize our country's tradesmen who are unsung heroes in our everyday life."
It's simple to enter: visit www.irwin.com and simply say "thanks" to a tradesman who has made a difference in your life.
"Tradesmen keep America running strong, and this is our way of saying 'thanks' for what they do for our country," said Curt Rahilly, Vice President of Marketing for IRWIN Tools. "IRWIN is proud to honor them, and we think the IRWIN Tools Night Race is the place to do it. The winner will have a race experience of a lifetime, plus we hope to give away $1 million."
In addition to having a chance at the $1 million Grand Prize, the Thank a Tradesman Sweepstakes winner will receive an exclusive VIP race weekend for two in Bristol, from August 25-28. IRWIN will provide "behind-the-scenes" access to Bristol Motor Speedway, round-trip air transportation, luxury RV accommodations at the track, and two days of exclusive at-track hospitality for the IRWIN Tools Night Race and the NASCAR Nationwide Series event.
