Indiana. A confirmed winner will be required to provide a credit card to hotel to cover incidentals
which are not included in the Prize. A confirmed winner is responsible for all travel expenses

not responsible and will have no liability if the confirmed winner and/or his/her guest is for any
reason not permitted to travel by the relevant airport authorities or misses a flight or other travel
element.

whatsoever, the confirmed winner will not be reimbursed for that portion of the Prize. Tickets are
awarded pursuant to a revocable, nontransferable license that is personal to the winner and
his/her guest and may not be sold, resold, auctioned, bartered, assigned, exchanged, placed in
commerce, transferred, given away, donated, or otherwise conveyed. A violation of these
restrictions shall revoke winner’s and/or guest’s license and may result in the Prize not being
honored. The Race venue and/or Sponsor reserve the right to remove or to deny entry to a
confirmed winner or guest if he/she violates the previous restrictions or engages in a disruptive
manner, or with intent to abuse, threaten or harass any other person at the Race.
NOTE: If due to COVID-19 or other similar restrictions, the Race is canceled, delayed or an
audience is not permitted in the stands to watch a Race, then Sponsor may award a different prize
of similar value. Prize winner and his/her guest irrevocably waive all claims against the Released
Parties (as defined in Rule 7) and agree that the Released Parties will have no liability or
responsibility for any claim arising in connection with participation in this Sweepstakes, the prize
elements awarded, personal injury or wrongful death, a potentially heightened risk of exposure
to communicable diseases, viruses, bacteria or illnesses, including COVID-19 and the causes
thereof, and sickness arising as a result of the winner participating in the Sweepstakes and related
activities, wherever, whenever or however the same may occur. Prize winner fully understands
that (a) COVID-19 is extremely contagious and there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19
in any place where people are or have been present; (b) no precautions, including the protocols
that will be implemented from time to time by any/all travel providers or those providing
accommodations, can eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19; (c) while people of all ages
and health conditions have been adversely affected by COVID-19, certain people have been
identified by public health authorities as having greater risk based on age and/or underlying
medical conditions; and (d) exposure to COVID-19 can result in being subject to quarantine
requirements, illness, disability, other short-term and long-term health effects, and/or death,
regardless of age or health condition.
Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of each Prize is $6,500.00 subject to each confirmed winner’s
point of travel origin and airfare fluctuations at the time of taking the trip. Total ARV of all Prizes
is $13,000.00.
All Prizes will be awarded provided that there is a sufficient number of eligible Entrants. No Prizes
other than the Prize set forth above will be awarded in this Sweepstakes.
The odds of winning a Prize depend upon the number of eligible entries in the Sweepstakes
