2009 Hess Race Car and Racer Give Away

Hess Corporation today celebrates the 45th anniversary of what has become a family holiday tradition for generations with the newest addition to its renowned collection of holiday toy trucks: The 2009 Hess Race Car and Racer.

I have had the opportunity to receive an early release of the 2009 Hess Race Car & Racer and it is a hit in my household! My son loves it! There are lots of lights and whistles on it and since there are 2 cars, both my son and daughter have a car to play with…BONUS! My husband is a car guy and has received a Hess Truck for Christmas for as long as he can remember from his Grandmother. He is so excited to pass along this tradition to our son.

The 2009 Hess Race Car and Racer goes on sale Friday, November 13 at participating Hess and Hess Express retail stores, retailing for $24.99 plus tax – Energizer® batteries included.

For the first time in Hess Toy Truck history, a race car takes the spotlight as the main featured vehicle. The 2009 Race Car and Racer reinforces a long tradition of quality, value and craftsmanship. It features a touch-release canopy compartment that opens to reveal a hidden compartment with surprise cargo – a smaller, faster race car powered by a pull-back racing motor and its own set of working lights.
