Ranger Boat raffle to benefit two foundations

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Ranger Boats has teamed up with the NASCAR Foundation and Ryan Newman to host a raffle with proceeds benefiting the Ryan Newman Foundation and the NASCAR Foundation.

The winner of the raffle will receive a limited edition Z21 NASCAR Edition Ranger Boat and a NASCAR package, which will include two tickets and a VIP garage tour at the Subway 500 at Martinsville Speedway on Oct. 22.

In addition to the boat and tickets, a fishing trip with Newman will also be included as part of the Martinsville weekend experience (schedule permitting). Additionally, the winner and several personally selected teammates, will receive a complimentary spot in the Ryan Newman Foundation's charity fishing tournament on Lake Norman, N.C., in December.

"Being a fisherman, I've had a relationship with Ranger Boats for years so I think it's great to have the opportunity to partner with them and the NASCAR Foundation for this fundraiser," Newman said. "Some lucky winner is going to be very happy with this special edition Z21 NASCAR Ranger boat. I appreciate the fans' support of our foundation and the NASCAR Foundation, and their contribution to a great cause."

Raffle tickets are $25 each or five for $100 with a limited number of 5,000 tickets available nationwide. Tickets purchased directly benefit the NASCAR Foundation and the Ryan Newman Foundation.
