In anticipation of their new racing game FUEL, which hits shelves May 26, Codemasters is hosting the "FUEL Your Adrenaline" sweepstakes, in which you the people will have the chance to win all sorts of knickknacks and doodads. The contest, which will run from May 11 through August 17, is being sponsored by such companies as Yamaha, Alienware, Boomchair and Oberto Sausage Company.


That's right, starting June 15 you'll find sweepstakes details and five dollar rebates for purchases toward FUEL on your favorite packs of Oberto Beef Jerky. Sure, you could stop by a Yamaha ATV dealership and fill out an entry form, or you could simply visit fuelyouradrenaline.com to enter, but why would you do that when you could support a sponsor, get a five dollar discount coupon and score some beef jerky? Really, who doesn't like a big steaming strip of jerky from Wawa? What's that, you've never heard of Wawa? Well let me tell you, you haven't truly lived until you've graced the aisles of this sacred store.

“This sweepstakes will let the players get in on the action and adrenaline of FUEL,” said Brad Schlachter, Senior Director of Marketing at Codemasters. “Teaming up with YAMAHA, Alienware, Oberto and Boomchair in this sweepstakes allows us to bring even more high-octane excitement to the release of FUEL!”

Alright, we get it, you guys are excited. I don't think you're quite excited enough about the jerky, but that's cool. I'm sure laptops and ATVs are just as exciting. To be fair we're just assuming the other sponsors are offering up prizes, but since the Web site we were directed to is down there's no way to confirm. You'll have to keep checking on the Web site's status and find out for yourself.

More importantly though, the game itself better be good or we're taking it straight to Oberto himself and demanding to know why he would endorse an inferior product. Meat men are smart men, or so we've never been told.
