Best Western International, THE WORLD'S BIGGEST HOTEL FAMILY®, selected truck driver Brian Belanger from Bristol, Conn. as the winner of the brand's 5th annual "Fan Swap" contest. As part of his grand prize, two-time DAYTONA 500® Champion and analyst, Michael Waltrip visited Belanger in his hometown of Bristol to help assist with his job for one day. In addition, the Belangers received a $1,000 Best Western Travel Card to use on a much-deserved vacation at any of the more than 4,000 Best Western hotels worldwide.

This is the first year the "Fan Swap" contest asked racing fans to nominate their "Travel Hero", a frequent business traveler who sacrifices time at home with family and friends to hit the road to make a living. Belanger was nominated by his wife Renee, who noted that her husband typically works 60 hours a week and spends two nights each week away from home.
