Things in the rules that work in your favor.

• The rules set no cap on how many mailers one person may send; each needs its own online request and its own envelope. Only the 'one per request' and 'mailed individually' limits apply.

  “Mailers must be hand addressed by the Entrant and each request must be mailed individually. Any bulk shipments of entry request mailers will not be processed or entered into the Sweepstakes.”

• Open to anyone 18+ (or age of majority) worldwide except Washington State residents and OFAC-sanctioned countries or SDN-list persons, which is wider than most vehicle sweepstakes. The sponsor's sprint car landing page says 'legal U.S. resident' instead.

  “The Sweepstakes is open to anyone 18 years or older or the age of majority in Entrant’s local jurisdiction, if older. Not available to residents of the State of Washington.
