Race Around America With Walgreens To Win A Roush Mustang

tsm 2

This race season, Walgreens is giving fans another reason to cheer — the Race Around America sweepstakes for a chance to win one of four trips for two to the Ford Ecoboost 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway —  the final race of the chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup — in November where one grand prize winner will win a Roush Stage 3 Mustang. Oh yes! A chance to win a NASCAR trip and a car! 

I’ll give you more details about how you can win in a second, but first let me show you how much fun a NASCAR race is.

Daytona 500 2014

Two years ago, if you had asked me if I would ever attend a NASCAR race, I would have told you not likely. I had never seen a race, knew nothing about the sport and generally had no interest. Then my husband went to work for NASCAR, and everything changed — I am hooked. 

2014 Daytona 500

This year was my second Daytona 500, and while we got rained out and completely drenched it was a great day. And I admit that I came home and watched part of the race on TV — I had to see Dale Junior take the win! But TV is nothing like being there in person, and whether you are a mega fan or have never seen a race there is so much to enjoy!

Also in attendance at the Daytona 500 was the Roush Stage 3 Mustang that is being given away through the Race Around America promo. The Mustang is being driven by Roush Fenway Racing drivers Greg Biffle, Ryan Reed, Trevor Bayne and Chris Buescher from each NASCAR race city to the next, making pit stops to meet with fans along the way. And I had to check out the car in person. (FYI – the designed wrap will be removed for the winner revealing a beautiful red mustang underneath.)

But remember that rain I mentioned? You can see in the picture that the car is wet, what you can’t see is that it is sprinkling on me in the picture! (The things we bloggers do for a picture!)

Moments later we took shelter under a tent. And it is a good thing I snapped that picture when I did because soon this was the scene. Ahhh Florida.

Even though we got soaked and decided to call it a day after the third tornado warning… Race fans still filled the stands 6 hours later when the race resumed.

There are not many prepaid cards that offer rewards, so the rewards feature caught my eye. Cardholders earn Balance Rewards points faster when using the Balance Financial Prepaid MasterCard on purchases when they link their Card to their Balance Rewards account. And points earned can be redeemed for dollars off purchases made at Walgreens or Duane Reade.

  • 10 points for every $1 spent at Walgreens or Duane Reade stores
  • 100 points every time the Card is reloaded in store
  • 1,000 points when the first direct deposit is made
  • 250 points for each month a direct deposit is received

Signing up is easy!

Visit your local Walgreens or Duane Reade to purchase and load a Balance Financial Prepaid MasterCard. Then activate your card online or in-store. Once you register your card, you will be entered into the sweepstakes! Note – there is a one-time $2.95 purchase fee for the card.

So are you ready to enter the Race Around America Sweepstakes for your chance to win a trip and maybe even a Roush Mustang? I have my card, and I am entered — so fingers crossed!

    my brother – he’s a long time, huge nascar fan (and since I can’t take my dad, he’d be the next best one to spend time doing something our dad loved)

    I would ask my sister to go with me…to try to make up for when I won the trip where Dan Wheldon was killed….and we had a very upsetting time in Vegas.

    I would more than likely take my son. I used to go to the Daytona 500 and loved it when I was younger.

    We’ve got a ton of family in Palm Beach county, not far at all from Miami, so if I won I’d take my husband with me and the whole family would come along to Florida to get a family visit in too .:)
