Oct. 30, 2019—The four finalists for the MAHLE “Drive With the Original” Technician Promotion have been selected for this year’s grand prize drawing. These four finalists will travel to the 2019 AAPEX show in Las Vegas where one will win the grand prize, a custom-built Petty’s Garage Dodge Challenger.
The grand prize ceremony will take place the the MAHLE Aftermarket booth, No. 2661 at 4 p.m. on Nov. 5.
The “Original,” Richard Petty, will be present when the finalists each select a fob from his signature Charlie One Horse hat—one of which will unlock the doors of the modified, 1,100 horsepower supercharged Challenger from Petty’s Garage.
The four finalists are:
- Jason Harrington of Harrington Auto & Truck in Yale, Mich.
- James Pickles of J & J Automotive Inc. in Rhinebeck, N.Y.
- Chance Powing of Michel Bros in Reno, Nev.
- Bill Zeromski of Bill Z.’s Auto & Truck, Harshaw, Wis.
“We’re happy to announce these four finalists who will have a chance to win this spectacular Dodge Challenger built by Petty’s Garage,” Jon Douglas, president of MAHLE Aftermarket North America, said. “My heart raced when I first cranked this beast up to take it for its inaugural test drive! One of these finalists is going to get a very special car.
“I would also like to express my sincere appreciation on behalf of MAHLE Aftermarket to the thousands of technicians around the country that participated in the promotion, and more importantly, for trusting MAHLE components in the work they perform.”
The four finalists were randomly selected from the entries received and have been awarded a trip to Las Vegas to participate in the special grand prize ceremony on Nov. 5.
