SAN ANTONIO, Texas — John Lupiccolo of Wil-Ridge Auto Service in Evanston, Ill., was chosen as the second lucky winner of a 2015 pickup truck of his choice in the Alliance’s “Big Game Tailgate Party” Sweepstakes. Lupiccolo is a loyal customer of Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance shareholder Auto-Wares Inc. and their Evanston Bumper to Bumper Parts Store.

Winners selected the make and model of their choice from any manufacturer of full-sized pickup trucks. “I wanted something that I could really put to use at the shop,” said Lupiccolo about his selection of a 2015 Ford F250 Super Duty. “This was a nice little surprise.”

Lupiccolo’s name was drawn from more than 150,000 entries in the “Big Game Tailgate Party” Sweepstakes. Another 100-plus lucky sweepstakes winners were selected to attend the Big Game Tailgate Party in Glendale, Ariz., this Sunday. A private tailgate party will be held the morning of the Big Game at a clubhouse with just a short walk to the University of Phoenix/Glendale Stadium. Food, beverages and tailgate games will provide attendees with additional chances to win another truck to be given away at the postgame tailgate party.
