Eligibility: Open to legal residents of Rochester, NY, television DMA (Designated Market Area) who are 18 years of age or older, Employees of Nexstar Broadcasting Company dba News 8 (WROC) or Fox Rochester (WUHF), Sinclair Broadcasting, Mark's Pizzeria, Dick Ide Honda, or employees of their respective affiliates, advertising, or promotion, security, cleaning, and other leased employee agencies and their immediate families or persons residing in the same household of each are not eligible.

Entrants may not have won a prize from WROC/ WUHF/ rochesterhomepage.net in the previous ninety (90) days prior to start of contest / drawing, in this case, November 12, 2011..

2. How to Enter: Contest begins at 8:00 p.m. EST, February 10, 2012, and ends 12:15p.m. Eastern Time Sunday, June 3, 2012, which is the day of the final scheduled televised race on FOX for the 2012 season. NOTE: Players may keep playing for NATIONAL prizes beyond this timeframe, and into November, but the ROCHESTER portion of the contest concludes with the results of the June 3 race. To enter, register online at RochesterHomePage.net "Race To Win" Contest via the Upickem/Second Street Media contest module. Prior registration for any Upickem/Second Street Media contest may apply to new users of the "Race to Win" contest application. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received, and accuracy of entrant's predictions/picks. Note that winners may be videotaped for broadcast.

3. How to Play: All eligible contestants will abide by contest participation guidelines as set forth by Upickem/Second Street Media as follows: For each race, pick the drivers you think will finish in 1st through 10th place for the race. Picks must be submitted at least 15 minutes before the race is scheduled to start. Entrants will be awarded points depending on how the drivers they select finish the race. 1st place is worth 150 points, 2nd place is worth 125 points, 3rd place is worth 100 points, 4th place is worth 80 points, 5th place is worth 78 points, with the number of points being reduced by 2 points for each subsequent place from 6th place (76 points ) to 43rd place (2 points). Drivers who finish in 44th place and beyond will not receive any points. The total points for the ten drivers you selected for the race becomes the Team Score. There is a 25 point bonus for each driver that comes in the exact place you picked the driver to finish, e.g., if you picked a driver to finish in 2nd place and the driver finishes in 2nd place, you will receive a 25 point bonus to the Team Score.

Your total score for the Contest will be the combined sum of your best 15 races.

If there is a tie for the most points for a race, the tie breaker will be based first on which tied entrant had the most drivers picked in the correct place for the race. If there is still a tie, the entrant who picked the highest place correct will be declared the winner. If there is still a tie, the computer will randomly select a winner from the remaining entrants that are still tied after the first two tie-breakers.

If there are ties for overall score, the entrant with the most points for the most recent race will be declared the winner. If there is a tie, the computer will continue comparing race points for the most recent previous races, one-by-one, until a winner is selected. If any entrants are tied for all the races, the computer will randomly select a winner from the entrants that are tied for all races.

Points are awarded for the drivers, not cars. If an entrant picks a driver who qualified for race and a new driver took his/her place before the start of the race, the entrant must pick the new driver. Entrants will not receive points even though the new driver may be racing the car of the driver that the entrant selected. And, if the new driver is not in the list of drivers that can be picked then no entrants shall have the ability to pick that driver.

Weekly winners are not posted until the official governing body for the race has released the official race results and any modifications to the finish order have been made. This can be anywhere from 24 to 48 hours after the conclusion of the race. Any modifications to the race results after the official race results are posted will not be considered.

Limit one (1) entry per person, per race. Prize winners will be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility, advertising and liability release within 1 day of notification or prize will be forfeited. Winners must be able to provide either a Social Security Card or birth certificate, and an official photo ID (New York State License, Official State ID, or Military ID) to verify age and residency. Verification could take up to one hour as identification is verified, waiver/agreement forms are signed and winners may be videotaped for broadcast. If travel to News 8/WROC-TV is determined by the judges to be an extreme difficulty, arrangements will be made to conduct the verification process by mail. If the winner does not provide adequate verification, then they forfeit winning and another random drawing will be held to determine a winner. Judges' decisions are final
