Stewart, Biffle team up on small business contest

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- It's a $1 million small business showdown!

Office Depot, the official office products partner of NASCAR, is teaming up with 3M, also an official NASCAR partner, and drivers Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle to put a competitive new twist on its sixth annual "Official Small Business of NASCAR" sweepstakes.

Stewart

This year, two small business owners will be randomly selected as finalists in the sweepstakes, with Stewart and Biffle going head-to-head on the race track to determine their fate during the nationally televised AAA 400 Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway on Sept. 26.

Stewart will carry the name or logo of one small business finalist on his No. 14 Chevrolet during the AAA 400, while Biffle will feature the name or logo of a second small business finalist on his No. 16 Ford. The small business that appears on the highest-finishing driver's car will be named the "Official Small Business of NASCAR." Additionally, if Stewart or Biffle wins the race, the small business featured on the winning car will take home $1 million!

Both finalists will receive a $10,000 small business makeover from Office Depot and a VIP race weekend experience for two during the September 24-26 race weekend at Dover. To enter for a chance to win, simply register online at officedepotracing.com now through July 10.

"Building a successful small business takes a lot of hard work, and it's great to be able to reward small business owners for their dedication," said Stewart, who is a successful entrepreneur with 13 small businesses of his own. "I would definitely encourage every small business owner to take advantage of this amazing opportunity and enter the 'Official Small Business of NASCAR' sweepstakes. I promise the two finalists that Greg [Biffle] and I will be ready to take care of business and battle it out at Dover on your behalf!"

Biffle

Stewart and Biffle both have two Cup Series victories at Dover. Biffle won at the track -- also known as the Monster Mile -- in 2005 and 2008, while Stewart swept both Cup races in 2000.

"As a small business owner myself, I know that it takes a lot of hard work and good people to keep a small business going," Biffle said. "Office Depot and 3M recognize that and have put together an incredible opportunity for two lucky finalists this year to have a chance at a $1 million prize. I have won two races at Dover, and I would love to get to Victory Lane to win a million for a lucky small business owner."

The "Official Small Business of NASCAR" sweepstakes also allows more small businesses a chance to win big. Every day during the promotion window, one lucky small business owner will be randomly selected to receive a $1,000 Office Depot gift card just for entering the sweepstakes.
