Attention All Red-Blooded Race Lovers
Blood Assurance teams with Whitfield Oil Company for fourth annual NASCAR promotion
Blood Assurance is calling all red-blooded race lovers to visit their local Blood Assurance center between Monday, Oct. 1 and Saturday, Oct. 20 to donate blood to help ensure area hospitals have an adequate blood supply. And after race enthusiasts finish donating, they can register to win one of three NASCAR prize packs thanks to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Whitfield Oil Company.
We are excited about being able to partner with Blood Assurance again for the fourth annual NASCAR promotion, Whitfield Oil Company vice president Shawn Whitfield said. And this year we are throwing out all the stops and we are offering donors a chance to get up close and personal with NASCAR by offering pit passes in addition to race tickets.

The grand prize winner will receive four Grandstand tickets to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Easy Care Vehicle Service Contracts 200 on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, plus four Grandstand tickets to the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Pep Boys Auto 500 on Sunday, Oct. 28, including four pre-race pit passes for Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway and a Valvoline oil change from Express Oil Change.
