The Win with Force Sweepstakes, started by BrandSource in 2006, completed its 5^th season in 2010 by giving away the Grand Prize a 2011 Ford Fiesta. More than 121,000 fans entered this year’s sweepstakes either at an NHRA race, online at BrandSource.com at a BrandSource retail store, or by mailing in an entry. The 2010 winner was Phillip Hockenberry of Redding, California who entered at Brandsource.com. Hockenberry, a long-time NHRA and NASCAR fan, is very familiar with John Force and his team’s Full Throttle championship history.

Hockenberry was able to go to his local Ford dealer, Crown Motors in Redding, California, to pick out his Fiesta.  He and a guest will be hosted by BrandSource during a ceremony with John Force at the NHRA 51^st annual NHRA Winternationals in Pomona the weekend of February 24-27.

“I am so thankful for winning the Ford Fiesta.  It is the best prize I’ve ever won in my life.  I can’t thank BrandSource, Ford, and John Force Racing enough for having the Win with Force Sweepstakes.  I was just so surprised when I received the call that I won,” said a thrilled Hockenberry. 

Bob Lawrence, CEO of BrandSource added, “The 2010 win With Force promotion was our best year ever, capped off with John Force’s 15^th Full Throttle Funny Car Championship and Phillip Hockenberry winning the Grand Prize in our Sweepstakes.  The Ford Fiesta is such a great car that we have watched Courtney Force preview for the last year-and-a-half, and to be able to give one away through our sweepstakes in a promotion with our partners at Ford, Castrol, AAA Auto Club of Southern California, and Mac Tools has been tremendous.”

In 2011 the Win with Force Sweepstakes will return offering Ford Focus as the Grand Prize.  A Ford Focus will be on display all season at the John Force Racing midway display. Fans interested in winning the Grand Prize or any of the other exciting prizes throughout the season will be able to sign-up at every NHRA national event as well as www.brandsource.com, BrandSource stores and through the mail.

 “Everyone at Ford Racing congratulates Mr. Hockenberry on winning this year’s Win with Force sweepstakes grand prize, the 2011 Ford Fiesta.  We are also very excited about next season’s Win with Force promotion which will feature the new re-designed 2012 Ford Focus as the sweepstakes grand prize,” said Ford Racing's Marketing Manager, Tim Duerr.
