Top Qualifier Will Go Head-to-Head Against Tony Stewart

Center Line, Mich. - For those who have ever watched an open wheel racing event and thought "I can do that," Mopar presents an opportunity to back up their claim. On November 2-3 the Mopar Virtual Dirt Track Challenge will take place during the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

SEMA show attendees will have an opportunity to go head-to-head against themselves and NASCAR® champion Tony Stewart in the Mopar Virtual Dirt Track Challenge. Competitors inside the cockpit of the No. 20 or No. 21 Mopar sprint cars will take on the high-banks of the famed Eldora Speedway, courtesy of the Ratbag World of Outlaws Sprintcars game.

Qualifying for the Mopar Virtual Dirt Track Challenge will begin at 9 a.m.
PST on Tuesday, November 2, and continue through the show's close at 5 p.m. that evening. Time trials will resume at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 3, and conclude at 12:30 p.m. Competitors are allowed one qualification attempt per day. The top eight qualifiers will be placed in a tournament bracket that will feature single eliminations, and the eventual winner will face Stewart in the final round. The bracket elimination round is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m., and the final round is scheduled for 2 p.m.

If Stewart's opponent is able to defeat him in the final round, he or she will win his or her choice of an all-inclusive trip for two to either the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Okla., USAC's Copper World Classic in Phoenix, Ariz., or the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, Calif. If Stewart is victorious, his opponent will receive a Playstation 2 game system, courtesy of Mopar. Each of the top eight qualifiers will receive a "MoPowered" T-shirt, and the top qualifier will also receive a Mopar hat.

Mopar's display for the SEMA show is located at booth No. 42327 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Participants are responsible for their timeliness during the qualifying and final rounds. Any final round participant who is absent during the designated time of competition forfeits his or her opportunity to compete.
