Thanks to BASF Crop Protection, Ohio farmer Jason Davis and three of his guests got to see one of the most memorable Daytona 500 races in history as the winner of the Kixor® herbicide technology Road to DAYTONA® sweepstakes.

A corn and soybean farmer from Hillsboro, Ohio, Jason says he uses Sharpen® herbicide, powered by Kixor, to help control his tough weeds. “We have heavy marestail pressure on our farm, so I used a fair amount of Sharpen last spring,” he said. “It’s a good product and always works well.”

Jason, pictured here in the red shirt with his guests at the race, not only received tickets to the 54th annual DAYTONA 500®, they also got an expenses-paid three-day, two-night trip to Daytona Beach. That race, you might remember, was one for the history books – rain-delayed for the first time ever, the first under the lights race in prime time, and a sensational fire-ball crash into a jet dryer truck. After all that, Jason says they had “a real nice trip, and it was a real fine race.”

The Kixor® Road to DAYTONA® sweepstakes was open to all growers 18 years or older with an operation of 250 acres or more. Ten other winners received $100 gift cards.
