Columbia farmer plans to buy new truck after winning $250,000

Austin Dillon wasn’t the only big winner when he took the checkered flag in the Coca-Cola 600 on May 28 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Dillon – a Coca-Cola Racing Family driver – also made a dream come true for Cam Oswald, a farmer from Columbia.

As part of the 2017 Coca-Cola 600 Sweepstakes, Oswald texted “ICECOLD” to 26739 and after Dillon won the race, Oswald won a $250,000 check – which Dillon and Coca-Cola Consolidated officials presented to her on Wednesday at the speedway.

"I've never won someone a sum of money like that," said Dillon, the driver of the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet SS. "To do it for someone who wants to buy a Chevy truck, that's pretty cool. ... It's just a great program that Coke put together and I'm glad to make someone's day."

In addition to the biggest prize she’s ever won, Oswald got a ride with Dillon in a Chevrolet Camaro and Dillon-signed memorabilia.

“I had my eyes closed the whole last lap of that race,” Oswald said. “I still can’t believe I won. This is unbelievable.”
