Best Western International, which is the Official Hotel of NASCAR, has launched a promotional effort with NASCAR star Michael Waltrip, dangling a trip to the 25th Running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in Charlotte, N.C., on May 16.

Through April 27, couples can visit www.bestwestern.com/allstarcouple, submit a story (1,000 words or less) about why they deserve to have their vows renewed during the 25th Running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race weekend.

Entries submitted through the site will be judged by a Best Western panel of judges, including Waltrip. The winning couple will receive roundtrip airfare to Charlotte, lodging, tickets to the race and local transportation.--Karl Greenberg
