Do you Know A Local Hero?

Do you know someone who has gone beyond the call of duty to help their community, saved lives, put themselves in harms way, pushed themselves to their limits and put it all on the line to help others?

These are the people that ExtenZe want to recognize in the new program called:

ExtenZe Local Heroes

At each NASCAR Sprint Cup Race, the ‘ExtenZe Local Hero’ will be presented with a $1,000 check and will become Honorary Crew Chief for the day. He or she will have the privilege of sitting on the pit box with ExtenZe Racing Crew Chief Peter Sospenzo, and lending support to Kevin Conway, who will be driving the royal blue and red No. #37 ExtenZe Ford. This Local Hero will also get VIP treatment at the race, with pit passes and an opportunity to see NASCAR behind the scenes. Not only will the local chosen hero get to watch the race from the VIP section, but will also have an opportunity to see the cars behind the scenes as well as have an opportunity to observe and possibly visit with other team drivers and pit crews.

So, if you know a local hero, here's your chance to recognize them in a fun and unique way.

Each week, the current "Local Hero" will be posted on www.extenze.com, www.extenzeracing.com as well as on the ExtenZe Racing Fansite of Facebook.
