Contest
In 1991, Konami sponsored a contest where players could submit top scores for a chance to win a trip to the 1992 Daytona 500 to meet Bill Elliott, and other minor prizes (see image at right). To enter, a player was to send a 35mm photograph of his or her final championship score using full race distances, manual transmission and regular damage settings.
The contest allowed three grand prize winners, who would receive free airfare and hotel accommodations to the Daytona 500. At Daytona, these winners would compete against each other in a game playoff for a new 1992 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe.
The deadline for the contest, as advertised on boxes, was until July 22, 1991, but it was extended at least until November 25, 1991.
If there was a tie, the competitors would need to write a "50 word essay on the topic 'Why I should be a Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge' winner."
