Southaven, MS (April 18, 2007) - Employees at Wal-Mart and Sam's Clubs across the country will participate in a series of "Tire Rodeos" sponsored by Goodyear , kicking off today at a Sam's Club in Southaven, MS. Employees, their families, and shoppers are welcome to play Goodyear's Pit Crew Challenge and Racing Simulator Competition for fun and prizes.

The Racing Simulator, in which participants race head to head in a virtual racetrack, is a custom made Amusitronix item that will tour with Goodyear at Tire Rodeos across the country throughout the spring and summer.  This is the second pair of race cars Goodyear has out on tour, to the delight of the crowds. "The kids especially just love the virtual racing game," says event manager Seth Allen.
