Todd and Dawn Early attended the race weekend on behalf of Auburn, Wash.-based Seattle Automotive, which also has seven distribution points in the Northwest. The other two winning Federated members who were awarded trips to Homestead were John and Beth James of Lafayette Warehouse in Lafayette, Ind. and Russell and Davita Mastroff of Cold Air Distributers in Ft. Pierce, Fla.

Ted TeGantvoort and Todd Early of Seattle Automotive were presented their new 2016 Ford Focus in December at Way Scarff Ford in Auburn, Wash.

“Federated member distributors have always been strong supporters of Ford Motor Company and Motorcraft Parts, with the shared end goal of better servicing Ford vehicle customers across the country,” said Bill Atkinson, marketing and sales manager for Motorcraft. “Our combined goal is to help maintain a high level of satisfaction for Ford vehicle owners throughout the ownership cycle so that when vehicle owners are ready, they will return to a Ford or Lincoln dealership for their next new vehicle.”
