RT for chance to win an A.J. Allmendinger 1:24 diecast Shell Pennzoil #22 Charger

1:24 Scale Diecast up for grabs! Graphic supplied by Edelman for Shell

In celebration of “Call Before You Dig” month and their awareness campaign, @ShellRacingUS & @Racingal are teaming up for your chance to win a 1:24 Scale Action Racing Collectibles A.J. Allmendinger ’12 Shell Pennzoil #22 Charger (ARV: $85)

Like last year, the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Dodge will carry the 811 logo during National Safe Digging Month. Due to the program’s success in previous seasons, the partnership will expand this year, with new Shell-Pennzoil driver AJ Allmendinger featuring the logo on his car during the Watkins Glen race, as part of National 811 Day on August 11. The logo will also run on the car during the final race of the season in Homestead, FL.

As people are planning outdoor projects, they don’t always consider the elaborate infrastructure beneath the surface. When somebody starts a digging project without calling 811, they run the risk of damaging pipelines, which may cause serious injury or harm to those in close proximity. Additionally, it may knock out power or gas to an entire neighborhood. An individual can be held financially responsible for repairs if they don’t call 811 and damage a pipeline while digging.

Every digging project requires a call to 811 – even small projects like planting trees or shrubs. The quick and easy call will connect you with a local One Call Center operator who will record information about your dig location and notify the underground facility operators so they can mark the approximate location of underground utilities and pipelines.  Once the lines are marked, you can begin to dig, but always dig with care. For more information, visit www.call811.com.

With that all said, so what about the giveaway?

Just follow @Racingal and RT (retweet) THIS BLOG for your chance to win! REMINDER! You must follow @Racingal to qualify. A winner at random from those who RT will be chosen on May 4th and notified via Twitter (as well as posted on Racingal.com, Racingal.com Facebook Fan Page). The 1:24 Action Racing Collectibles A.J. Allmendinger ’12 Shell Pennzoil #22 Charger (ARV: $85) will be sent directly to the winner!

IT’S THAT EASY!!

So, come on tweeters, get those thumbs ready to rumble and those cells ready to call 811! 

GOOD LUCK!!!
