You see, no matter what you like about The Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, it frankly wouldn't be a fully fledged official Grand-Am race unless Scott Pruett said "hello to my family back home" during an in-race interview. Scott never disappoints, and by no means are we making fun of him; we absolutely love that Scott does it. Its a great show of a guy not only being a racer but also continuing to be a good family man.
By now, we're so sure of Scott's commitment to saying hi to his family that for the 2nd year in a row, we're holding a sweepstakes for all our fans (disclaimer: you don't have to actually be a fan of ours to play or win).
How to Enter:
Simply click on the comments below and predict when within the 24 hours of the race Scott will say hello to his family.
The race will start at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time this year and end 24 hours later; so all you have to do is pick a time between then (use ET).
The person who is the closest wins (none of that Price is Right "without going over" nonsense).
Actual disclaimer: We do not count if he does it in pre-race interviews, only in-race interviews.
Prize(s)
The winner will receive one, some or any of the following:
- Grand Am decals or a flag
- A 2012 IndyCar calendar
- Bacon flavored pop-corn
- Some Hot Wheels, likely IndyCar (we'd get Grand-Am ones if they made them)- Or you can forfeit those and go for the Top Gear official board game!
Only 1 entry per person, and we'll accept entries all the way up until Scott says hi.
Oh, and hello to our families back home :)

Hey mjc, we need a time, I'm not sure when Pruett is driving that car in order, but if you can figure it out, a general stint is 2-1/2 hrs so you can figure out a time to guess from that.

I predict he doesn't say it. He'll get it out of the way in the pre-race interview which is against the rules of this contest.

Goddammit. Scott said it at 2:48 EST, during the pre-race. Are we counting that? Seems like a cheat to me.
you don't even read your own blog good sir :) pre-race doesn't count, we want the first in-race hello to the family.
4:14 EST. (Except I won't take the prize if I win.)
