Shell asks truckers to name roughest roads

The makers of Shell Rotella engine oil want to hear from professional drivers about the toughest roads they drive and how they are able to protect themselves and their cargo.

The Shell Rotella Road-Tested Challenge will allow drivers to tell about their most challenging roads, and at the same time enter for a chance to win a VIP NASCAR experience with Richard Childress Racing, along with hundreds of instant prizes, including road-tested essentials such as Shell Gift Cards and Shell Rotella-branded merchandise. Drivers can visit www.Rotella.com to see the official rules and to enter the Shell Rotella Road-Tested Challenge between April 19 and August 31, 2010. No purchase is necessary.

There is a separate promotion in which drivers will have the opportunity to receive a $25 service certificate for Shell Rotella T5 synthetic blend engine oil, and a $50 service certificate for Shell Rotella T6 full synthetic engine oil when they purchase an oil change requiring 10 gallons or more.

One grand prize winner and guest will be treated to a VIP NASCAR experience at the Charlotte NC race October 16, 2010. This will include garage and pit access before the race and pit-side seating during the race. The winner will also have the opportunity to meet the hauler drivers for the Richard Childress Racing teams and pose for team photos, subject to availability. The winner also will be presented with an autographed driver jacket, and receive a year’s supply of Shell Rotella engine oil (20 cases of 3/1 gallon bottles of Shell Rotella T6).

Drivers can also return to the website to see the roads that have been entered during the sweepstakes. The winner will be announced during the week of Sept 19, 2010, which is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.
