Just as ‘racing provides [drivers] with the fuel to get going’, Entenmann’s is giving race and doughnut fans the ‘boogity, boogity, boogity’ (green flag) to win an unforgettable ride with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Start your engines…

Entenmann’s - America's favourite crumb cake, doughnut and chocolate chip cookie maker owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA, the American arm of the world's largest bakery manufacturer Grupo Bimbo - is bumping up the stakes with a VIP experience that any petrolhead would trade their memorabilia for.

Boogity, boogity, boogity…

Race devotees and doughnut lovers alike are invited to enter Enternmann’s Ride with Ricky Sweepstakes - open until 27 August - for a chance to go the distance with Daytona 500 champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

‘Boogity, boogity, boogity, let’s go racing’

For 19 years, NASCAR legend-turned-broadcaster Darrell Waltrip started a race with the adrenalin-pumped phase in lieu of the less dramatic “…and the green flag is in the air.” He borrowed it from Grammy-winning country and pop singer-songwriter Ray Stevens’ The Streak (1974), which channels “an action news reporter …Oh, yes, they call him the Streak; Boogity, boogity; Fastest thing on two feet; Boogity, boogity…”

Cue the victory doughnut…

In addition to the Grand Prize, entrants also have 160 chances to win a $100 Kroger gift card - one for each lap the #47 Entenmann’s race team will be doing at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona Beach on Saturday, 27 August 26 at 7:00pm EST.
