Fans can follow all of the action of the Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford through a television package that includes broadcasts on CBS Sports, NBC and SPEED in 2006, as the top teams and drivers in the world span the globe in pursuit of the prestigious Vanderbilt Cup.


And this season, not only will fans be able to watch their favorite
Champ Car drivers, they will have a chance to win trips to join them trackside as part of the new Champ Car "Live Fast" Sweepstakes presented by Bridgestone. The Champ Car World Series, along with series presenting sponsor Bridgestone and
media sponsor Auto Week, are providing viewers with an exciting new opportunity to win great prizes for tuning in to Champ Car broadcasts – with the season’s Grand Prize winner receiving a 2006 Ford Mustang GT.


“We are very
excited about the opportunity that the Live Fast Sweepstakes presents to Champ Car viewers,” said Champ Car President and CEO Steve Johnson. “This is one of the most aggressive programs we’ve ever put together for our television viewers
and we expect that it will be a huge success. Of course, none of this would be possible without the full support of our sponsor and media partners and we appreciate their participation in this sweepstakes.

The Champ Car "Live Fast" Sweepstakes presented by Bridgestone will incorporate a code word that is revealed during each race broadcast starting with the April 9 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and ending at the September 24 Grand Prix of Road America. Viewers can then enter the sweepstakes by logging onto the official website of the Champ Car World Series www.champcar.ws and entering the code word in the Live Fast Sweepstakes.

A first-place prize will be awarded at each of the 12 events through a random draw of all the correct entries, with the winner receiving a set of new Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position tires and an all-expenses-paid trip to the next event on the 2006 Champ Car World Series calendar. Ten second-prize winners will receive a year’s subscription to Auto Week as well as a selection
of Champ Car merchandise.

At the end of the season, a Grand Prix winner of all of the correct entries throughout the season will win a trip to the season finale in Mexico City as well as the keys to a new Ford Mustang GT.
