There are just a few weeks to go before Federal-Mogul’s Champion^® spark plug, wipers and chemical additives brand begins the 2014 “Search for a Champion” racing sponsorship contest. The popular annual contest, which enables grassroots racers to compete for $125,000 in Champion sponsorship packages, will open for entries beginning Nov. 1 at the brand’s www.AlwaysaChampion.com website.

To enter the contest, racers simply need to submit 2-minute videos that describe their commitment to winning a racing title with the help of Champion spark plugs. At stake are 15 $5,000 sponsorships as well as one $50,000 Search for a Champion grand-prize sponsorship for the 2014 racing season.

The contest is open to grassroots racers in three broad categories of competition – Asphalt, Dirt and Water/Snow – covering everything from junior dragster, go-kart and motorcycle racing to snocross and personal watercraft competition. Video entries must be submitted to the www.AlwaysaChampion.com website between Nov. 1, 2013, and Jan. 3, 2014. The Champion community will vote for 15 finalists between January 6 and February 2. Voting for the $50,000 Search for a Champion grand prize will take place February 21 through March 23.

The first 250 racers to enter the contest will receive a free Champion “swag” bag featuring a contest decal and Champion hat and t-shirt.
