America selects Grand Prize winners in the Shell V-Power® 'Fuel My Passion' Contest and Sweepstakes!
Five Contest Winners Receive One Year of Shell V-Power® Gasoline; and One Lucky Sweepstakes Winner Receives a New Ride Plus Five Years of Shell V-Power® Gasoline! Shell concluded its annual search for the
ultimate automotive enthusiasts across the country in the Shell V-Power® "Fuel My Passion" Contest and Sweepstakes. The five grand
prize winners were selected by the online community after all entries
were narrowed down with the help of expert guest judges from Road &
Track, Car and Driver and Cycle World. To enter, Shell asked people across the U.S. who are passionate about what they drive or take pride in their ride to enter the contest by submitting a photo of themselves and their vehicle along with a few sentences about how Shell V-Power® premium gasoline fuels that passion. The vehicle categories included: Luxury and Vintage, Sports and Performance, Motorcycles, Trucks, SUVs or Minivans and Other Premium Rides.
This
year, Editors-in-Chief Matt DeLorenzo from Road & Track, Eddie
Alterman from Car and Driver and Mark Hoyer from Cycle World
participated as guest judges to narrow down the entrants to three
finalists in each category. Once the finalists were selected, U.S.
residents were invited to go online and to select this year's winners,
who all have one thing in common - their love for their ride. "My
passion truly is my 65 Malibu SS, and having my entry win is something
that I am very proud of," said Bill Vinney who takes home the grand
prize in the Luxury and Vintage Vehicle category. "We travel everywhere
in that car and winning a year's worth of Shell V-Power® means my baby
will treat us right on all of our road trips!" Chuck
Bell from Seattle, Wash., grand prize winner of the Motorcycle category
was thrilled about his prize too, saying, "Winning the Shell V-Power®
'Fuel My Passion' Contest and Sweepstakes means I can share Shell
V-Power® with my friends and family and keep my engine full of
Va-Va-Va-Voom!" Kim
Krisco, from Trinidad, Colo., was the one lucky sweepstakes finalist
who was randomly chosen to win his choice of one of three rides - an
Audi S5, Audi Q7 or Harley-Davidson® Electra Glide Motorcycle-- as well
as five years of free Shell V-Power® gasoline. Krisco chose a brand-new
2010 Audi Q7 (valued at $50,975) to make his way through the Colorado
mountains. "I was so excited to be named the Shell V-Power® 'Fuel My
Passion' Sweepstakes winner! I entered the contest as well, but I was
not a finalist. I was hiking in the mountains when I found out I had
won and couldn't wait to get home to tell my family the exciting news,"
says Krisco. "I'll still be driving my Chevy, but my new Audi Q7 will
come in handy for making my friends jealous!" The
five grand prize winners received a year's worth of free Shell V-Power®
premium gasoline and one lucky sweepstakes winner was awarded a 2010
Audi Q7 plus five years of free Shell V-Power®. The 2010 Shell V-Power®
