Start your engines racers! Mini is challenging the Porsche 911 Camera S to a race in two weeks against its Cooper S model. Mini has started a Facebook campaign to promote the hype of the possible race which now has over 100,000fans. Porsche has not committed to the race but is taking it under serious consideration. Mini has even gone as far as calling at Porsche in a full page spread in The New York Times(see image on right).

Porsche is one of the most well-known luxury car manufactures and has an incredible racing record. People are hoping that the incentive of adding one more win to their record will convince Porsche to participate.  Porsche 911 Camera S would be favored to win due to is extremely more powerful engine which has some people questioning Mini’s motives. This would bring much attention to both car manufacturers and could possibly benefit both companies.

Also on National Donut Day, Dunkin’ Donuts will announce the winner of its second annual “Create Dunkin’s Next Donut” contest.

Today’s little history lesson: National Donut Day, held the first Friday of June each year, was founded by the Chicago Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the women who served donuts to soldiers in World War I.

So be sure to hit up DD on your way to the office tomorrow morning. (Double chocolate with sprinkles is the way to go).
