NOTE: This contest has ended. You can’t enter any codes because the contest is over.

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J., (February 13, 2008) – Mars Snackfood US announced today that SNICKERS® Brand and driver Kyle Busch of the No. 18 SNICKERS Toyota Camry are helping NASCAR® fans rev up their garages for the 2008 racing season with the SNICKERS® Brand ULTIMATE GARAGE SALE!™ Sweepstakes. To enter the promotion, fans can purchase specially marked SNICKERS® King Size product between February 11 - April 20, 2008 and look under the wrapper to locate an entry code to redeem on snickers.com. During the 10-week promotion, fans can win amazing prizes from a variety of official NASCAR® sponsors on a weekly basis, including a new 2009 Toyota Matrix “S.”

“This sweepstakes is such a cool promotion that SNICKERS is doing,” said Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series. “It’s so much fun for us and it means a lot when our sponsor does something like this for the fans. I was just checking out the list of prizes and every one of them is really cool. Good luck to all the fans out there.”

“As we kick off the 2008 NASCAR season with our new team and Kyle Busch, the SNICKERS ULTIMATE GARAGE SALE! ™ Sweepstakes is a great promotion to engage our fans and get them excited about racing,” said Michele Kessler, vice president, marketing, Mars Snackfood US. “As the official chocolate bar of NASCAR, SNICKERS is a staple for race fans both on- and off the track and through our promotion, fans can track the progress of Kyle’s race to the Chase online, while vying for a chance to win some great prizes.”

Take the Wheel
Each week between February 11, 2008 and April 20, 2008, SNICKERS® will award a new set of prizes. Just as good NASCAR® drivers know when to give up the lead and conserve gas for when it matters most, the same is true for the ULTIMATE GARAGE SALE!™ Sweepstakes.

Participants can chose to either use their codes to enter for the chance to win the current week’s prize or they can “bank” their codes and wait to use them for another prize in a later week. While the prize drawings are random, there is certainly an element of skill in knowing when to go full throttle in pursuit of your favorite prize.

Current prizes for the SNICKERS® ULTIMATE GARAGE SALE!™ Sweepstakes include:

* A 2009 Toyota Matrix “S”
* A VIP trip for four to Miami, Fla., to attend the NASCAR® season finale

What a stupid promotion…no where to enter the code on the website…leave it to NASCAR!! Figures, the one time I decide to enter a contest from the inside of a candy bar wrapper…I should know better.

Ok. So if you want to have a contest then you should probably have a place for people to enter ther code!
I mean don’t even have a contest if your not going to make it possible to win.

Comment by Mary — July 9, 2008 @ 9:57 am
I agree with the rest of the above.Why have a contest if there is none???!!!!

Comment by Bonnie Hatcher — July 14, 2008 @ 4:39 pm
For all of you complaining, the contest was February 11 - April 20, 2008 (it says so in the above press release). So it’s too late to enter codes now. That’s why you don’t see a place to enter them.
