Denny Hamlin’s Bracket Challenge presented by Dirty Mo Media - Official Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. THIS CONTEST IS INTENDED FOR PLAY IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA AND WILL BE GOVERNED BY U.S. LAW.

​

These Official Rules are for Denny Hamlin’s Bracket Challenge presented by Dirty Mo Media (the "DH Bracket Challenge"), which is a nationwide (U.S. and Canada) contest sponsored by Dirty Mo Media LLC ("Sponsor").  The DH Bracket Challenge is seeded based on the top 32 in NASCAR Driver Points following the race at Dover Motor Speedway as determined on Tuesday, May 2 at 10 a.m. ET, and each round consists of head-to-head matchups based on each driver’s finishing position in the next five (5) races in a single-elimination, bracket-style tournament. Should a driver in the top 32 in points not be able to start the race, we will use his substitute driver’s results for determining the head-to-head matchup winner (ie. Alex Bowman / Josh Berry). 

​

This contest is not intended to be used for gambling purposes. If it is determined that a participant is using the contest for gambling purposes, he/she will be disqualified.

Any attempt by any entrant to enter more than the stated number of Brackets by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will make that entrant’s Brackets ineligible for the DH Bracket Challenge and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the email address used to register will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

​

5. Winner Determination: Sponsor and Prize Administrator is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the DH Bracket Challenge and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the DH Bracket Challenge. Entrants’ Brackets will be scored based on the scoring process set forth below. Then, entrants whose Brackets are verified to be within the top 1% of highest scoring Brackets for the applicable Tournament will be entered into the DH Bracket Challenge drawing for the applicable Grand Prize (as set forth in Section 7 below). 

​

Additional Winners: Eleven (11) Additional Winners will be selected from all of the eligible entries in the DH Bracket Challenge (as set forth in Section 7 below).

​

Entrants will earn points for each eligible Bracket based upon the number of correct winner selections made in each Round of the applicable Tournament as set forth below.

​

The 11 additional winners will be randomly selected from the total pool of all eligible entries. 

​

6. Winner Requirements: Potential winners must continue to comply with the Official Rules. Winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. Prize Administrator will randomly select the potential DH Bracket Challenge winners from all eligible entries on or around June 13, 2023. The potential winners for the Grand Prize and the Additional Prizes will be notified by email and will be directed to a secure online claim form and asked to provide their name, email address, mailing address and date of birth to confirm eligibility and for prize fulfillment purposes within three (3) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent into order to claim the prize. Then, each potential winner (or parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in their state of residence) will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver and where not prohibited a Publicity Release ("Declaration") which must be received by Prize Administrator within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the applicable prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration or provide any other requested information within the required time period, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason or forfeits the prize, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.
