For Immediate Release:

3rd Annual Drive For Excellence:

Burlington Subaru Hyundai gives away new car to local high school student

This morning, Saturday May 15th, Burlington Hyundai Subaru, in conjunction with WCAX / 99.9 the Buzz / WOKO / Kool 105, gave away a brand new car to Crystal LaHart in its 3rd annual Drive for Excellence.

 

This year the local car dealership received 13,903 entries from 661 students who attended 77 different high schools in VT and Northern NY. Students received entries for earning A's and B's on their report cards and also for having perfect attendance.  From the 13,903 total entries 50 students were chosen as finalists and 5 were chosen as alternates. Students had to be present at the drawing to win.

 

Each year the lucky winner has the choice of a brand new Hyundai Elantra (automatic) or a Subaru Impreza ( 5-speed).  In 2008, Shane Mason of Milton High School was the winner and chose a Hyundai Elantra.  Last year, Sara Cameron from Colchester High School was the winner and chose a 2009 Subaru Impreza.   This year's winner Crystal LaHart drove away in a Hyundai Elantra.

 

Burlington Hyundai Subaru will run the contest again next year and will post information about the 2011 Drive for Excellence on its website www.burlingtoncars.com.
