I just heard that the Alltel “My Circle 500” is actually a pretty cool sweepstakes for race fans.

Ten sweepstakes finalists will get to choose a 'pit crew' of 10 friends or family members to take an all-expense-paid trip to Charlotte, N.C. to compete in a go-kart and pit crew challenge for a chance to win $500,000.

From now until April 30, anyone can enter the sweepstakes by texting the word RACE to 67783 or by logging on to www.mycircle500.com. The website has all of the sweepstakes details.
