MIS TEAMS WITH ARBOR MORTGAGE FOR “PICK THE WINNER AT MIS” CONTEST 

 

BROOKLYN, Mich. (June 7, 2006) – Race fans typically leave NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races at Michigan International Speedway with many fantastic memories, but this summer, one lucky fan will depart with something a little different at each race. 

 

MIS and Michigan-based Arbor Mortgage Corporation have partnered on a unique promotion that will allow race fans to cash in on their knowledge, and perhaps a bit of luck, for both NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races at the track in 2006. The “Pick the Winner at MIS” contest will provide one homeowner per race with a paid mortgage for one full year, compliments of Arbor Mortgage. Contestants will guess the winners of the June 18 3M Performance 400 presented by Post-it® Picture Paper and the August 20 GFS Marketplace 400. 

 

Entries are currently being taken for the June race at arbormortgage.com or MISpeedway.com. Fans can also make their pick at the MIS Mobile Ticket Office which makes stops throughout Michigan and at the Arbor Mortgage Display in the AAA Motorsports Fan Plaza at MIS during both race weekends. 

 

“The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races at MIS are the biggest sporting events in the state of Michigan,” said RJ Kistka, president of Arbor Mortgage. “As a home-grown Michigan company, we are thrilled to partner with MIS in providing the winning homeowners with their mortgage payments for one full year. I don’t know who will be happier when the checkered flag drops at each race, the winning driver or the fan who wins their mortgage paid for an entire year.” 

 

“It’s important for us to continue to partner with successful Michigan-based companies such as Arbor Mortgage. The promotion will add even more excitement for our fans around the upcoming event weekends,” said MIS Director of Marketing Keith Karbo.  

 

This is the company’s second consecutive year of NASCAR-related sponsorship. Last year, Arbor Mortgage sponsored the Peak Performance Racing Team No. 66 car driven by Jimmy Spencer in the GFS Marketplace 400 at MIS. 

 

Tickets for both NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races, the June 18 3M Performance 400 presented by Post-it® Picture Paper and the August 20 GFS Marketplace 400, are currently on sale at MIS’s official website, www.MISpeedway.com, or by calling the MIS ticket hotline at 1-800-354-1010.
