Vote For URC Driver Jonathan Swanson In The Champion
Spark Plug

 “Search For A
Champion” Competition

 

Yardville, NJ-  As the 2012 racing season quickly approaches URC Sprint car driver Jonathan
Swanson is busy at work preparing by entering Champion Spark Plugs “Search For
A Champion” competition. Beginning on Monday, January 2nd, fans can
vote for the posted video they feel best defines a champion, an honor Jonathan
hopes fans bestow to him.

Jonathan’s video is a clip of his interview following his first URC win at Big Diamond in
2010. In it he talks about the difficult week he had prior to the win and all
the hard work it took his one-man crew to get him to Victory Lane. The message
Jonathan hopes fans hear is that a champion never gives up no matter how many
obstacles and challenges stand in their way.

In his written introduction to his video, Jonathan also wants fans and Champion Spark
Plugs to know that a champion isn’t just made on the track. Champions not only
race their way to a championship, but also earn it by connecting with fan,
participating in autograph sessions, and promoting their sponsor and series or
track.

The fan vote of the competition accounts for one third of the overall score in the
contest which awards one winner in each category $10,000 in sponsorship money
and an overall winner $50,000 in sponsorship money. Fans can vote once a day
until February 5th after registering at www.alwaysachampion.com.
Not only are participants able to help Jonathan win much appreciated
sponsorship money, they also register to win prizes for themselves from
Champion as their way to give back not only to the drivers but also the fans
who support them.

February 5th at http://contest.alwaysachampion.com/contests/showentry/1003465.
