PROSOCO is a national manufacturer of products that clean, protect and maintain masonry, stone and concrete. The company offered the chance to win the all-expense-paid NASCAR weekend, including airfare and hotel, to approximately 5,000 masons nationwide. The moment of truth came in the drawing, Jan. 26, at the 2007 World of Concrete in Las Vegas.

PROSOCO Manufacturer’s Representative Ron Saunders of Saunders & Associates in Bluffdale, Utah, made it official Feb. 8. He presented Bowthorpe a framed copy of the winner’s notification letter as the two stood in ankle-deep mud at the job site.
