ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY
Aaron's hosted the Aaron's 312 NASCAR Busch Series race for the last time at Atlanta Motor Speedway March 19, 2005. NASCAR made changes to the 2005 Busch Series schedule, moving the Aaron's 312 from the fall back to the spring, which will conflict with the Aaron's Dream Weekend at Talladega. As 2005 is the last year on our current agreement with the speedway, Aaron's honored the contract as the event sponsor and is currently in negotiations with the speedway to maintain a presence at the facility for the future.

BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY
The toughest ticket to purchase in NASCAR is at the Bristol Motor Speedway and Aaron's has entered into a signage and promotion package with the speedway. The Aaron's logo is prominently displayed atop the scoring pylon in the center of the infield directly above giant, high-definition video display screens. Aaron's also has a billboard in turn two, which is regularly seen during the television broadcasts. There are four Aaron's Dream Seats perched in the center of the backstretch concourse as a special promotion for each of their four major events. There is a national, in-store register to win opportunity where fans have a chance to win a trip for two to the speedway and sit in the Dream Seats. Two of the 160,000 attending fans are randomly selected to answer a trivia question for a chance to sit in the Dream Seats. The trivia portion of the promotion is shown live on the giant video screens and replayed before each race.

TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY
Aaron’s continues its partnership with TMS enjoying signage and promotions at the speedway throughout the year in one of Aaron’s largest markets. Aaron’s completed their long anticipated 50th Anniversary Sweepstakes Give-a-way this November at the speedway. Throughout the course of 2005, Aaron’s customers and event attendees were encouraged to register to win the car of their dreams, the Aaron’s 55 Chevy. Of thousands of entries turned in throughout the United States, Aaron’s narrowed the contestants down to five potential winners. Each contestant and a guest were flown into Dallas - Fort Worth to enjoy the weekend festivities and take their shot at winning the car of their dreams. Among the potential winners was Catrina Hare- Memphis, TN, Steven Schopf- Burlington, WI, Greg Pickerel from Arvada, Co, John Zorick - Valparaiso, IN and Mary Melvin - Milton, FL. Mary Melvin was the first to take a seat in the 55 Chevy but she was unable to crank it with her key. Next up was John Zorick from Valparaiso, IN. John took a seat in the car of his dreams and cranked the engine of the Aaron’s 55 Chevy. From all of us here at Aaron’s, congratulations John!
