Get ready for the second annual DIRECTV’s NASCAR® Head-2-Head Knockout competition, where you have chance to win the ultimate prize of $1 million!
32 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™ drivers will be split into four regional brackets. Drivers will go head to head against a new competitor each week in a single-elimination format. Drivers advance by finishing higher than the driver they are matched up against.
[/media-credit]The competition kicks off at Pocono on August 7th and runs for 3 weeks until the “fastest four” are left and compete for DIRECTV’S NASCAR® Head2Head Knockout Championship at the August 27th race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The fan with the most accurate picks will win a brand new truck from the manufacturer of the winning driver. (i.e. Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins the contest, thus the fan who “wins” gets a Chevy Truck since Earnhardt Jr. drives a Chevy). The trucks available include the 2011 models of the following vehicles: Ford F150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra, or Dodge Ram.
Drivers will be competing on behalf of their favorite charities, with a total of $400,000 being awarded to help great causes.
A perfect bracket results in the chance to win $1,000,000.
First Prize: A brand new truck from the manufacturer (Ford, Chevy, Toyota, or Dodge) of the winning driver’s car.
Second Prize: A brand new Panasonic 3D TV, Bluy-Ray player, and a pair of 3D glasses.
Third Prize: Two tickets to a 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
Each week during the competition, DIRECTV NASCAR HotPass™, available only on DIRECTV, will feature four different driver matchups. You can watch dedicated channels for each featured driver. Check back each week to find out which drivers will be featured in the next round of the competition.
