TNT Rides Valpak(R) to the Winners Circle

NASCAR, one of the nation's fastest growing spectator sports, and broadcast partner Turner Network Television (TNT) are once again driving with Valpak as the 2006 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series heats up on the top-rated cable network.

During the month of August, 45 million homes will receive their Valpak offers in a specially designed envelope that will rev fans up for the pivotal NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series "Race to the Chase." In addition to the savings they'll find in the envelope, fans will also have a chance to win VIP tickets to a select NASCAR race, including a behind the scenes look at the NASCAR event.

Promotional spots on TNT and in-race announcements will alert viewers that their familiar blue Valpak envelopes have something very special in store for them. When Valpak arrives in homes, recipients will be reminded to tune into TNT's NASCAR coverage and register to win the VIP getaway or a $1,000 cash prize.

This is the sixth time TNT has partnered with Valpak and the fourth consecutive year TNT has promoted NASCAR with a Valpak promotion.

To reach their target audience, TNT looks to Valpak to support their marketing efforts.

Kevin McMahon, senior manager, marketing and programming, Turner Sports, noted that, "The Valpak® promotion provides TNT with a powerful communication vehicle for us to promote to our core NASCAR audience. The significant impressions generated by our presence on Valpak® envelopes will translate to a greater awareness of our partnership with NASCAR, and provide consumers with a relevant promotional opportunity."
