Teresa Holder of Jonesboro, Ind., is the winner of Hankook Tire America Corp.’s Great Catch 2011 Ford Explorer Limited Giveaway. The Great Catch giveaway had more than 44,000 entries submitted.
Soo II Lee, president of Hankook Tire America Corp., presented Holder with the key to her new vehicle on-field before the first pitch of the Detroit Tigers’ game versus the Kansas City Royals at Comerica Park in Detroit, Mich, on Aug. 30, 2011.
“I’m really excited to have won,” says Holder, a 56 year-old mother and wife. “This is an amazing prize from Hankook, and I definitely know what kind of tires I’ll be buying from now on!”
Holder was looking forward to being on-field with the Detroit Tigers players. Following the pre-game presentation ceremony, Holder and her husband joined Hankook’s President Lee in a VIP suite to watch the game. Holder also received a signed baseball from Tigers right fielder Magglio Ordonez.
