DALLAS, June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the
thirteenth consecutive year, the Sunoco Free Fuel 5000 sweepstakes
is returning to reward loyal Sunoco customers, race fans and Sunoco
credit card holders nationwide with $5,000 in free fuel. Here are some of our
favorite stories from last year's Grand Prize winners from
Florida, Alabama, Ohio, Texas
and Pennsylvania:
- Riley Bass, Orlando, FL: A father and Walt Disney
World Employee, Riley had always been a loyal Sunoco customer.
Since winning, Riley has used his prize to help his extended family
out with fuel expenses, and he's planning a summer road trip up to
Niagara Falls in Canada before his
eldest daughter starts college in the fall. Bass said, "This prize
has given me a sense of freedom to go anywhere I want."
- Darlene McGaw, Union Springs, AL: Retired middle school
teacher, Darlene McGaw, used her
$5,000 worth of free Sunoco
UltraTech™ fuel to support the local band she volunteers for:
Chilly's ICE Cool Band. "The band, which is made up of about 40
children ages three to eighteen means the world to me and we
constantly have hard time getting buses or cars to take the
children and volunteers to local performances, so this prize helped
to alleviate those obstacles for a few months, and Sunoco made that
happen."
- Larry Greathouse,
Newton Falls, OH: Larry Greathouse learned to use Sunoco fuel by
his late father and is thankful for the early life lesson. "When I
won this prize, it was the best thing that ever happened to me
besides marrying my wife, but when Sunoco gave us tickets to a
NASCAR race, too, my dreams really came true. Sunoco fuel has
always meant everything to me, and now I have an even stronger
appreciation for the company."
- William May, Houston, TX: Houston native, William May, goes to the Sunoco/Stripes station
on Sheldon Road 10 times during the work week for fuel, Gatorade
and tacos. One trip was extra special in 2016 when he was spotted
with his Sunoco decal and entered into the running for the Free
Fuel 5000 Grand Prize. "From winning this prize and getting a new
home to expecting a baby this fall, I don't know how much luckier I
can get!"
- Pacifico Marple Ford Dealership, Broomall, PA: Joe
Pacifico – owner of Pacifico Marple Ford, applied for the
Sunoco Universal Fleet card almost four years ago to help save up
to 6 cents per gallon on fuel. Last
year, the fleet card came with an unexpected advantage. The Grand
Prize helped to minimalize fuel costs for the company for more than
three months. "When our company initially won, we couldn't believe
it. Sunoco has and always will be a staple for our business, and
this prize further solidified that decision."
"This is the thirteenth year of the Sunoco Free Fuel 5000
sweepstakes, and every year the stories of how our loyal customers
plan to use their fuel never ceases to amaze us," said Mark Burford, Senior Director, Marketing. "We've
heard from past winners who will visit faraway family members, take
dream vacations and even fulfill volunteer responsibilities. Sunoco
is proud to award $5000 in free fuel
to our Grand Prize winners and Instant Winner prizes to thousands
spotted this year."
Official spotters will be visiting all Sunoco stations and
select grocery partner locations during July and August to award
Sunoco gift cards to drivers seen with the iconic Sunoco decal on
their car. Customers spotted will be entered for a chance to win
the $5,000 Grand Prize. There are
three ways to get your Sunoco decal stop by any participating
Sunoco station to pick one up for free; request a decal on
Facebook; or mail a stamped and self-addressed envelope with a
request to the address provided on the Sunoco website.
Three additional credit card users from the Sunoco Rewards,
Sunoco SunTrak and Sunoco Universal Fleet loyalty programs will be
randomly selected for the Grand Prize.
