$weep$take$ Giveaway
A ll registered participants of the 56th NSRA Street Rod Nationals were eligible to win in this year’s $20,000 “Street Rod Nationals $weep$take$” by virtue of their Event Entry number. Four drawings for $5,000 each were held with the first drawing on Thursday, followed by drawings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Awards Program. Each of the winning Event Entry numbers were posted on the ‘whiteboard’ on the side of Nick Donovan's “Rockin' Road Show” broadcast studio trailer. Thursday’s winner didn’t show up to claim their $5,000 so that drawing moved to the Awards Program on Sunday. People were still swinging by the Rockin’ Road Show even after the $5,000 winners were posted to see if they won one of the valuable Super Prizes! On Sunday at the Awards Program the final drawing for $5,000 was held, along with a drawing to replace Thursday’s no-show.
For the thirty-eighth consecutive year, the NSRA has bundled a wide array of prizes that are being given away at all 2025 NSRA events totaling nearly $519,612. Nine identical packages of Super Prizes valuing $57,734 are made up of parts and services from 19 companies and all registered participants at all nine events have the chance to win one of these valuable Super Prizes. At the conclusion of the 2025 NSRA event season $32,102,067 worth of valuable automotive merchandise will have been given away during the Super Prize Program’s 38 years. Each year on the Wednesday before the Street Rod Nationals begins, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg welcomes the event to town and 2025 was the 27th consecutive year. He acknowledges the event brings in nearly 12 million dollars that supports 70,000 local tourism-related jobs. NSRA’s Teresa Grubbs and Vernon Walker Jr. welcomed Craig and his family as they visited the Expo Center for a first-hand look.
$weep$take$ Winners: (L-R) Mark Johnson of Loveland, OH, Jimmy Stark of Demotte, IN, Tom Rothroch of Terra Haute, IN, and David Hall Jr., Rockwood, TN. NSRA hopes the $5,000 wins will make their rodding experience an even better part of their life.
