ATLANTA, Nov. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aaron's, Inc.
(NYSE: AAN), a leader in the sales and lease ownership and
specialty retailing of furniture, consumer electronics, home
appliances and accessories, hosted a whirlwind weekend getaway in
Miami for the winners of the
Michael Waltrip Family Vacation Sweepstakes.
Elizabeth Chancey, a Tennessee resident and huge racing fan, won
the Michael Waltrip Family Vacation Sweepstakes and brought along
her husband and two friends to Miami for an all-expenses-paid vacation. They
enjoyed a shopping spree on Saturday at a Miami Aaron's store. They
were joined by racing legend Michael
Waltrip, who helped pick out their furniture, appliances and
electronics.
On Sunday, Waltrip and Aaron's treated the family to a VIP
Racetrack Experience at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. The family
also received a private tour of the garages at the track with the
racing star.
"The excitement has been building for this sweepstakes and we're
thrilled that the winners were able to enjoy a beautiful weekend in
Miami with Aaron's and
Michael Waltrip," said Andrea Freeman, Aaron's Vice President of
Marketing. "It was no accident that this coincided with the holiday
season, as we were looking for ways to show our appreciation to our
loyal customers. We were especially excited to give these racing
fans an exclusive racetrack experience with Michael, who we've
worked with for many years."
Waltrip has been featured in Aaron's commercials this year and
has raced with the Aaron's logo visible on his car as an associate
sponsor. The Aaron's Waltrip Family Vacation Sweepstakes, which ran
from May 2 to May 26, received
thousands of entries across the country.
"My partnership with Aaron's continues to present me with new
opportunities to give back to my fans," said Waltrip. "I had a
wonderful time in Miami with Beth
and her family and was excited to see how much they enjoyed the
race on Sunday."
