Powering the Tour with Giveaways and More
As part of the nationwide launch of its new STA-BIL 360° Protection Ethanol Fuel Treatment and Stabilizer ("STA-BIL 360°"), STA-BIL partnered with Velocity TV's hit show, Car Fix, to rebuild a classic car and launch the "STA-BIL 360° Custom Car Sweepstakes." At every Power Tour stop, the redesigned 1971 Chevrolet Camaro, completely re-built by Car Fix hosts, Jared Zimmerman and Lou Santiago, will be on display at the Engine Answerman truck. Visitors can register to win the car along with a trip for two to the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The STA-BIL 360° Custom Car Sweepstakes runs through August 31, 2014. The winner will be announced live on a special two-hour airing of Car Fix on Friday, October 11. In addition, fans can get updates on the Tour, its hottest cars and participate in Power Tour Trivia online by visiting the Cool Rides Online Facebook page where prizes will be given away daily!

STA-BIL 360° is the first ethanol treatment to deliver comprehensive corrosion protection above and below the fuel line through revolutionary, new chemistry. To meet the demands of consumers seeking ultimate performance, STA-BIL scientists developed this innovative product to deliver comprehensive corrosion protection. When added to fuel, STA-BIL 360° releases a vapor inside the fuel system that coats all metal parts including the fuel tank, fuel sending unit, valves, carburetor, fuel injectors and intake manifold, offering 360° corrosion protection. During the Tour, Cleveland will give out bottles of STA-BIL 360° each night from the Hot Rod Power Tour stage at the nightly street party. 

The Engine Answerman tradition of the Long Hauler Magnet Giveaway will continue with a daily giveaway of one piece of a special magnet that when completed will form the shape of Cleveland's touring rig. These magnets are available only to the Long Haulers who travel the entire seven-city route and have become an "event within the event" for car buffs and memorabilia collectors.
