Press Pass 2002 Cup Chase to make Stewart Card: “Thank you for your feedback regarding the Press Pass 2002 Cup Chase Program and the guidelines for the Grand Prize memorabilia card. We have administered this contest since 1994 and never encountered a finish in which the Winston Cup Champion did not win one of the designated Cup Chase races. Throughout the season we have indicated to those that questioned our position, that we would not produce a Grand Prize unless the driver won one of the designated Cup Chase races. After further review and much consideration, we have decided to create a Tony Stewart 2002 Winston Cup Championship race-used prize card should he win the championship this weekend in Miami. This Grand Prize card (along with the special 18-card plastic Cup Chase set) will be sent to any collector who redeems a 2002 Cup Chase card of Tony Stewart within 60 days after the expiration date of 1/31/03. While the original intent of the program was to produce a Grand Prize memorabilia card only if the 2002 Winston Cup champion was a winner of one of the eight designated Cup Chase races, we realize that the rules on the Cup Chase entry cards were ambiguous. Consequently, we will produce a race-used memorabilia card of the 2002 Winston Cup champion. We will also strive to write subsequent rules that more clearly define our intent so that we do not encounter additional issues in years to come. We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused and hope that you will continue to look to Press Pass for innovative NASCAR collectibles.”(ERTL PR)(11-12-2002)
